Pulled by Ebay -
Gotta protect the Woolly Mammoth.
Actually they say that NO ivory can be shipped out of the US.

It seems as if you can sell it within the USA. I see literally hundreds of items, not just knives and knife handles. I see Charles Turnage of fine_turnage_productions selling worldwide BUT he always says it's from Siberia. Also his other account is or a family members onefossilhunter is selling mammoth ivory just to the United States. I have bought from both and they have the same address. Sleaze-bay

They shut down Banyan Bay they have another account wdwrksltd that has very little mammoth ivory, USA on the ones I looked at, everything else is worlwide.

I read somewhere a few weeks back that the FEDS were cracking down on ebay for "pre-ban" elephant ivory sales that were not legit. I know where a lot of this elephant is being sold on ebay as preban. Better get a couple pieces while I can.

What next hippo and warthog ivory? Better get the cites numbers out for what I bought.

My feeling is that an individual whined and complained because you had 1 knife where these other guys are power sellers, yet they sell all kinds of ivory. Try a USA only listing. Why worry about a mammoth, the damn things are extinct anyway.

Well here is a news link to eBay's new ban on elephant ivory, nothing to do with mammoth ivory though. I guess we need to check their new policies out.

Most likely it had to do with the following news article which want's to ban ALL ivory sales.

Who knows? We should look into it, I believe Mammoth is to be sold internally in the US. Until I read eBay's policies, I am guessing that only internal sales are allowed, imports, well, I see ebay's tide-mammoth of Hong Kong still selling mammoth scales.

if they make money, they are very slow to enforce.

Yeah, I checked a few. One guy is selling some elephant ivory as preban to US customers only and I don't know if they will ban that. A couple more are selling knives with ivory and they are not USA only. I like elephant ivory, but have seen it just about curl off a knife. I have some Hippo and Warthog Ivory and I need to copy down the cites numbers for those.

I do have some interior mammoth ivory that is pure white. But it is mammoth and I feel it is more stable than elephant or hippo ivory. Dang, I got a box of the stuff, better get those numbers.
