listing cannot be viewed

My listing is not showing up in searches for me or others, and when I go to view it front my store page it says its unavailable in my region.

Any ideas?

I do not click on links in the forum so I will ask--was it a knife or knifelike appearing? Knives of any sort cannot be sold within the UK on Etsy, not even a butter knife or a "prop".  That is why it probably is not showing to you (or anyone within the UK. IT probably shows up for people in other countries/areas where knives can be sold.

IP infringement aside...

You can't sell knives or blades to the UK, however fake.

There is no way for Etsy to check if your are selling to someone of the age of majority, a requirement for online UK sales.

Yet you type in ork sword you get plenty that shows up, including metal ones, so why would a polyurethane one be restricted?

As for ip infringement again I've typed in warhammer and found it of others with warhammer in the title.

I'm sorry to tell you but just because others are selling things that they shouldn't doesn't mean that you can. Eventually they might get caught, too.

You can say "Ork Sword" all day long. 

You CAN NOT say "Warhammer Warchanter" - THAT is trademarked. You need to get permission and legal licensing from Games Workshop to profit off of the name and copyrighted materials.

Yes I get it warhammer is copy righted and not allowed but how come the is lots of items titled warhammer that are still listed, highly popular and reviewed, which means made sales and not been "caught" and removed yet mine is instantly region blocked? Makes no sense

What others sell have nothing to do with your shop. 
Shoplifting is against the law. It’s against the law if 5 people do it and it’s against the laws if 50,000 do it. The law doesn’t change just because everyone else is doing it. 
Just wanted to add that your item isn’t indexed so it won’t get found in search. You need to get ahold of Etsy so they can fix that.
