I know that if you put “This is a replica” it will get removed.
so is there a way you can do it legally?

Nope. Try finding an honest and ethical business plan that doesn’t violate the laws.

The word”replica” is an attempt to put a pretty face on the ugly truth that such items are counterfeits. There is no legal way to sell illegal merchandise.

I actually don’t know the answer, but I just wanted to comment that the above answers don’t make sense. Technically, lots of things, including reproduced photographs and artwork, could be considered “replicas,” and people sell (and buy) them all the time because they’re cheaper than buying original artwork. People can’t afford to buy originals of everything.
I don’t understand why eBay would remove it if you specify it’s a replica and simply charge less for it. It’s not like you’re trying to bilk somebody. Some people would probably buy replicas for cheap simply as commemorative items or what have you.
