    eBay keeps removing my listing. Where can I sell AR stuff?

    Besides Gunbroker.com
    I had it listed for 3 days and got no action.
    I'll go back there if I must but would rather not.

    I'm trying to sell some hi cap mags and am getting flagged and removed from eBay. (3 times in 24 hours)
    Anyone know of some friendlier auction sites that people actually look at?
    No, I'm not gonna sell it on CalGuns. I'll be bombarded with Pm's to trade for garbage or sell for $6.
    Thanks.

    Well, good luck. I was going to recommend just posting it on Calguns. I never sell on eBay anymore. I'd rather keep the 10% cut they take.

    I sell everything (firearms and non-firearms related) on forums and/or craigslist.

      Sell them here, I'm sure they'll sell. Just make sure to put in your post, " no trades, and no offers, price is firm" and ignore pm's with trades. But if you have cheaper than dirt prices, you won't get your stuff sold on here, unless a supernoob finds it.

        gunauction (formerly auctionarms) is another alternative.

        have you considered that maybe your starting asking price is too high hence no action?

          eBay has something about 10+ capacity mags correct? If so that is your problem.

                I played this game with the tards at Fleabay a long time ago.

                I won. I have my Krinker Plinker parts kit for a 10/22 cancelled repeatedly (7 times) because I MENTIONED the name Krinkrov (because that is what a krinker plinker is, it is parts from a krinkov that make your 10/22 look like a krinkov). Finally I figured it out.

                I relisted the same photos, maybe even MORE of them, and changed the description to say that it was parts from a famous centerfire rifle that you can put onto a ruger 10/22 and change the looks.

                Problem solved, I sold the kit for $375 after shipping. Reword your ad and substitute other names for certain rifles or go elsewhere and stop *****ing.

                You can not argue with the Tards at Fleabay, even though you are NOT selling an assault rifle, they will call it that because they are 100% full RETARD... And there is no recovering from that.

                    Will you take $6?

                    How about a trade for some garbage?

                      Just in case anyone is interested here is the email info:


                      "Unfortunately, we had to remove your listing because of the following:

Something that is legal in one jurisdiction may be illegal in another. To prevent members from inadvertently violating a firearms law, we have banned listings for all parts and accessories related to assault weapons. If these items are universally compatible, or if they are compatible with other non-assault weapons, you are welcome to relist. Please avoid the mention of any assault weapon models though." - I did that and still got flagged and removed. @Stilly, I'm not "*****ing", just providing information.

                      "Because of various laws and regulations on the sale of assault weapons and parts and accessories for assault weapons, we don't allow selling these items on eBay.
                      But you can list accessories that would fit a variety of different weapons, such as scopes, sites, and shoulder straps. If you do sell these items, you can't mention assault weapons in your listing.
                      Keep in mind that any listing for an item that's described as a part or an accessory for an assault weapon will be removed. Even if an item doesn't attach to an assault weapon, you still can't list it on eBay"

                        There should be a permanent thread for all the silly offers we get trying to sell on CalGuns. True story: I listed a Browning Safari II BAR in 300 Win Mag with 2 stocks and rings included + 80 rounds of E-tips. I was offered a trade for 3 pocket knives and a different offer of a Remington 770 with no scope or rings.

                          Dollars to doughnuts the madcroc guy that reported youre auction is selling the same or similiar gear. I tried with the pmags and it didnt go well.
                          I just gave up. My neighbor kept relisting and well, it went worse for him. They locked up his ebay account, locked down his paypal and froze ALL the funds in his paypal. Most of which had nothing to do with ebay or gun related (horse saddles and tack).. He also recieved some form of email alluding to ebay contacting local LE in regards to the items...(pmags, surefire kits and a beta c drum kit)..Theyre based in San Jose, so who knows..it wont go anywhere but ebays made their anti views more than obvious.

                            That's why I don't want to push my luck and post again. There are some listing that have been up for days and are not getting hassled (or they'd have been removed) and they clearly use AR15 and Hi Cap in their description and title. I'm baffled as to why I'm getting removed and they're not.

                              Yeah, if you already listed with no action in the current inflated market, that's a pretty good sign you're asking way too much.

                              Market determines price. A different venue probably won't change that.
