Novelty License Plates At Risk of Deactivation
@Atlas_HAQM
Hello and good evening Atlas,
I’ve reviewed several discussions regarding the “smoked or tinted license plate cover” policy and am now encountering the same issue on two of my key listings.
"This product has been identified as a smoked or tinted license plate cover. HAQM policy prohibits the listing or sale of license plate covers that obscure the reading or recognition of a license plate."
This issue previously occurred on a couple other listings. I attempted to appeal those, but only received a generic response—and shortly after, the listings were banned. The pattern seems to be:
1. Warning about geographic sales restrictions
2. No clear review or path to resolution
3. Listing removal
In those past cases, the listings weren’t significant sellers yet, so I let them go. But now, this is affecting core products in my catalog, and I can’t ignore it.
These are fully custom novelty plates—**not** smoked or tinted covers—and I want to get ahead of this before these listings are incorrectly removed as well.
What do you recommend as the best course of action to prevent a takedown and resolve this properly?
So far I've sent two email tonight, one for each product to: pars-rp-core-sellerappeals-transfer and also modified the listings slightly to hopefully avoid any false triggers going forward (decorative/novelty).
Thank you,

Please search the forum for license plates. There have been several posts in the last week and HAQM replied to some.
