No conspiracy. Just plain stupidity on the part of the Seller.

If the seller was smart then, what?
Put an article in the paper or a magazine, so it could be posted on the Internet?
Or advertise it to be sold on Christies Auction?

Thing is, someone had to report it as a violation, eBay can't possibly police all of it's listings. I sell on eBay so I know.
I'm betting there are plenty of obots policing it now

"Government IDs and licenses, or items that claim to be, or that look similar to, government identification documents are not permitted on eBay. Certain types of government-issued medals are also not permitted."How could this document be prohibited???
look similar to: We did not see the document thus it looks similar to nothing.
No government issued this certificate! This was not a government ID but a hospital certificate.
This was a birth certificate which every single person on this planet receives the moment they are born (with a few exceptions, of course!)
