Ebay strikes again!

[ldivinag]

i remember an ebay auction of BRASS. empty brass.

yet ebay of australia made such aa big deal about and the seller fought and fought.

in the end, ebay folded and his final auction page was like close to 10 pages and every single line was like

THIS IS NOT ACTUAL AMMO. THIS IS ONLY BRASS. BRASS CANNOT KILL YOU

or something to that effect. it was just so funny...

Guys, I have had completely legit auctions that were CLEARLY in compliance with eBay policies get dumped by eBay before for "violation of their policy"...so frustrating. Who knows how their system runs. If you auction is in compliance, just restart it. It will probably stick.

I will re-list and make sure any reference to " vertical " does not appear. For that matter, any reference to " pistol " or " gun " will not appear either. Only a warm and fuzzy reference to the kindly old gentleman " Uncle Mike " and his " thing " that you wear attached to your " booty " will be used to describe my evil vertical shoulder holster.

And while law-abiding tax-paying citizens continue to be harrased by the Jack-booted Ebay thugs, items that encourage illegal prostitution shall still be allowed.

On the PowerSeller forum there was a thread recently about a woman selling concealment purses who had auctions pulled, and lots of threads about people selling vintage toy guns without the orange tips who had auctions pulled.

I sell fine art prints that generally contain some level of nudity - which is allowed if you stay within certain guidelines - and every couple of months I get an item pulled. And it's always one of the more innocent ones, clearly within their guidelines. I write in and ask a supervisor to remove it and remove the strike from my record because they do track violations and if you get repeat offenses they'll suspend your account and basically at that point they won't go back and review the earlier ones. So each time you get an auction pulled, don't ignore it, write in and have it reviewed.

Don't say that other people are selling them, because they basically stop reading at that point. Don't expect a response in less than a few days.

I responded but I'm not expecting a reply anytime soon. I really don't need their services anymore anyway, the net has plenty of other ways to dispose of and purchase items and you don't get " slapped " on the hand for violating unclear guidelines. You'd think they (Ebay) would be more concerned with all the fraud activities occuring online then to punish innocent sellers and buyers who did nothing.

Here, try these for buying and selling nationwide

Ebay blows. Try PredatorMasters for a free listing, or GunsAmerica or GunBroker for a fee listing. Guaranteed no anti-gun weenies there.

Someone had to complain about your particular listing....

Someone didn't like your auction and reported to eBay.

A 20 something CS works at eBay did not know a thing but to cancel your auction.

That's how things done at eBay most of the time.

I'm so ashamed....I have friends that are attys that work at eBay. I know this anti-gun CYA policy was due to their advice...

[akspetsnaz]

Sorry to say but eBay is a Cali company. They have to watch their back from lawsuits, and have to follow the Cali gun law.

I believe staying away from lawsuits is more than being anti-gun at eBay.

I KNOW THE GIRL IN THOSE PHOTOS!!! She lived in Hollywood with her boyfriend, on Primrose Ave for about a year and a half, in a "nice" suburban upper-echelon area of Hollywood foothills (not the boulevard, not the city sections). They split up, she found someone new, and moved to a place around the corner. Name was Raine or Rayne - was a nurse if you can beleive that!! She had such a tiny waste and as you can see in the photos, there is no way those were real. I would know her body anywhere, especially with that specific belly-button jewelry.

When she walked around the neighborhood, she was always dressed in clothes not too much more discreet than what is shown in those Ebay photos; people would go nuts over her, like a freak show! Other tenants were mystified as she looked like a comic book character body shape, almost not real. She was very nice, very endearing, had that Ferrari body, but her face... well, let's just say she was very strong-jawed with masculine overtones (but not a transvestite). However, if you saw her in person, you might have thought she was a guy in drag. Sorry Rayne/Raine.

Holy cow, Cali, do you know those jumblies????

No wonder. The E(vil)Bay is well-known anti-gun nazi.

I won't bother dealing with E(vil)Bay.
