minghis Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Well I learnt something today! Apparently you are not allowed to sell a whole host of stuff that is or can be related to firearms on E Bay, including a Sako Finnfire 10 shot magazine! I could understand it for things that you need to show your licence for such as a moderator or ammo, but for a magazine? Most annoying thing is they let me compile the whole advert, including pictures and only told me I couldn't list it right at the end when I was about to hit the 'list' button. ******.

casts_by_fly Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 yep. after the virginia tech shootings, ebay and their affiliated companies took a corporate decision to not sell or contribute to the sale of any firearms or firearms parts. There was talk that the shooter in that case sourced a lot of parts from ebay (though obviously not the main ones). Something to consider is that if you want to buy a gun online, you can't use paypal for it. If you make a paypal transaction and it contains any note or firearms or guns, they can void the transaction. thanks rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxon88 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) They do allow the sale of rifle stocks for some reason. Would that not be considered a firearm part? Edited November 2, 2011 by Oxon88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chard Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) Yes, It's PC ******** I sold a bayonet for a K98 Mauser on there once. I also had a deactivated K98 I wanted rid of, so I put a note on the bayonet auction that I had "the bit that goes on the end of this" if anybody was interested :lol: :lol: It worked, a couple of people messaged me and I got what I wanted for it Same PC ******** that means you can't find any shooting books in Waterstones, even clay shooting. *******.

Billy. Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 You could always try and sell them this way. A good way to size up each item and get some attention. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/*no-hassle-blood*/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
