ebay uses software to filter on key words like 'Cuba'. My assumption is that this allows them to declare 'due diligence' to satisfy any legal regulations. It also allows them to dodge some political heat. Mystic is a tiny company and has more latitude on how they handle these kinds of legal issues.

Simply do not use the word 'Cuba' in the ebay listing and no one will care.

I wonder if Cub* would get past the filter?

There are 559 listings containing the word "Cuba" in stamps.

Most of the listings use a work around. Caribbean Island, 1 Cuba, 4 Cuba, Spanish Cuba etc.
