eBay Policy

I thought it was against eBay policy to sell automatics.

Hmmmm

I uguess it sneeked in, i got 2 miniture pocket knives a week ago and you cant sell anything in the uk on ebay with a blade on it,

it will be pulled before the time is up,, they all get pulled, although i just bought an old hammer brand fish push button. it was camo'ed in with 13 other junk knives...

paul, you can't sell anything with a blade on ebay?... but you can buy them?....is this correct?

I listed a butterfly knife a couple months ago, which I then learned was against policy.
I had a guy from FL bid and then email and said 'this will prolly get removed by ebay, email
me if it does' - It was deleted the next day and we completed sale via email/paypal.
It wasnt a very expensive sale so buyer protection was no big deal for either of us I guess.
Maybe these sellers know better and are fishing for customers, or like me, they have no
idea on the policy but soon will.

Unrelated eBay frustration for me is that some sellers only ship to lower 48. I understand this on
items that dont fit in flat rate boxes. I have my solution. My brother proxy bids from within
the lower 48, and then sends the knife up here. Take a guess at what I have him leave for
feedback (nuetral with 1star in detailed ratings). People should realize that there are 50 States.
My rant is over..........

Well .... the Griffin knife just got pulled ... so the Ebay police are on the job .... lurking

Dean, the Griffin knife didn't get pulled. It went all the way to the end and expired with no bids. The Case auto was pulled but the Imperial auto went the entire week and sold for $76.

With the new "assisted" openers it's all a crock of b.s., IMHO. I had words recently with paypal so I'm done with eBay purchases at the moment.

Nice score chetr1200c! I always like to find hidden treasurers like that when buying knife lots.

thx red, that custom was relisted for $449.99, free s&h
