eBay Alert, get this out to everyone
We need to get this out to everyone who does anything with eBay or PayPal whether they buy or sell hunting related stuff on eBay. They need to stop, close thier accounts and tell anyone else to do so also. It is the start of the anti-gun crowd getting into the back door.
***Message from Matt Halprin – New Listing Restrictions on Gun Parts***
July 30, 2007 | 10:00AM PST/PT
Matt Halprin
Hello everyone…In mid-August, we will be updating our Firearms, Weapons and Knives Policy to place more restrictions around gun-related items. Once these changes take effect, we will prohibit listings of any firearm part that is required for the firing of a gun. This includes items like bullet tips, brass casings and shells, barrels, slides, cylinders, magazines, firing pins, trigger assemblies, etc. Please read the Firearms, Weapons and Knives Policy for more details on our current policy.
As you may know, eBay does not allow the listing of any items which are regulated by individual states or the federal government; however, there are still a large number of firearm-related parts that are legal and are widely available in retail stores. These items have also historically been allowed on eBay.
After learning that some items purchased on eBay may have been used in the tragedy at Virginia Tech in April 2007, we felt that revisiting our policies was not only necessary, but the right thing to do. After much consideration, the Trust & Safety policy team – along with our executive leaders at eBay Inc. – have made the decision to further restrict more of these items than federal and state regulations require.
This new update continues to encourage safety among our community members and brings our policies in the U.S. and Canada in closer alignment with our existing policies in other markets around the globe.
Sincerely,
Matt Halprin
Vice President, Trust & Safety

RE: eBay Alert, get this out to everyone
We've all known thier stance on firearms for quite some time now yet everyone kept using them rather than using and giving the support to GunBroker or Auction Arms. Now this arises and everyone's tailfeathers bunch up. Why weren't all these bunched tailfeathers over on the afore mentioned gun-friendly sites to begin with?

That does suck!
I've bought and sold a half a dozen Encore barrels on ebay. You can usually get a brand new barrel $75-$100 cheaper than in Cabela's or something like that.
BUMMER!
Diggerr, I do agree with you, one frickin head case and now we all "suffer" for it.

RE: eBay Alert, get this out to everyone
well that doesn't suprise me much.
I'll probably continue selling on Efag- I sell mainly swedish mauser stock parts, I usually get about 100% or better markup on them. I've bought several knives there too, mainly spydercos for my collection, not sure if these will be affected.

People who drive drunk in cars kill people at a higher rate than those that aren't intoxicated.Then we shouldtake away cars from all people not just people who drive drunk, so no one will die in car accidents. This is the liberal mindset and I am sick of it. [:@]
