Question about eBay and restricted items

Ok, if you list something that eBay considers "restricted" do they just pull that items listing, or do they pull all of your listings? The reason I ask is that I wanted to list an Officers Epaulet found in a trash midden at Fort Bowie, Arizona. It dates from the 1st Fort, Indian Wars era (1862?). It's Unique in that no other has been found, but eBay says items from an NPS site are not listable.

Now before you hoot and holler, no, this was not stolen from there. It was obtained personally after a rain storm and a pack of kids over-ran the midden, pulling it out and tossing it. I offered it to both the NPS and AZ State Museum, but both declined basing grounds on non-provenience.

I've heard recently that once you get hit with a pull by eBay, they watch most of your other auctions.

Anybody have any experience with eBay pulling stuff?
