Dunkield Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 You could until recently, I have bought and sold reloading gear on eBay (it's Ok to say it here ) I understand from the posts on the BBS that you can buy/sell either now - full stop. It's nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonno 357 Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 how is it eb*y usa can sell shooting stuff reloading etcbut not in the uk ? i emailed them and got no reply Its not illegal to buy or sell reloading gear on ebay. Its there policy in UK. Relaoding related items are still for sale now on ebay. They don't check every item that is listed. Look at all the fake gear that is for sale. Its infringement on copyright but they still allow it to happen Jonno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneEye Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I had a furious row with ebay when I tried to get rid of some Lee rifle dies there (.308 Win, .243 and .223 Rem if anyone wants them for free - they're not much cop but better than nothing), and they removed the ads. I pointed out that people are selling bullet heads and brass on ebay, so what's wrong with a device to place the one inside the other? Oh no, they said, the bullets and brass are inert. So are the dies I responded. Oh, no, they cried, dies are for the manufacture of ammo, and the bullets and brass are just for saddoes to hang on their bedsit walls whilst they play dungeons and dragons online with their mate Kevin who studies chemistry and is a virgin. Waste of time. I notice that their desire to preserve public order and the peace doesn't stop them listing fake samurai swords and terrifying-looking 'fantasy daggers' made out of scrap steel in Bangladesh.

They supposedly don't sell throwing knives on there either as it's against there rules! You can found thousands of throwing knives on there, the sellers simply title them as bowie knives etc. I've never seen a set of 8 bowie knives with a tang for a handle, lightening cut outs thet are "perfectly weighted". I reported a few of these and they didn't remove them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, try selling a shotty choke set and see what happens. And welcome One Eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
