I sell Maker's Mark cigars/whiskey on eBay and as long as you have their rules listed in your auction, they can not remove it. If you did not, then they can pull it. Someone turned you in, it's happened to me by other Maker's Mark sellers who want to get an advantage on the market. Here is what you need to put in your listing:
This is straight from eBay rules....

Selling Tobacco Collectibles on eBay: There may be instances where the particular collectible tobacco package is unopened and still contains tobacco. These sales of collectible tobacco items will be permitted as long as each of the following are met and addressed in the listing:

The value of the item is in the collectible packaging, not in the tobacco itself.

The listing description should state that the package has not been opened, but that the tobacco within is not for consumption.

The collectible tobacco packaging must not be available at any retail outlet, and packaging must have a value that substantially exceeds the current retail price of that tobacco product in the package.

Sellers must take steps to ensure that the buyer of these collectibles is at least 18 years of age.

Buyers and sellers are responsible for ensuring that any transaction involving tobacco complies with all applicable laws and shipping regulations in carrying out the transaction.
