Ebay UK bans all knives.

[asomotif]

You can poke an eye out with a chopstick.

And with a pencil... with your finger... with a knitting needle...

Aaaarghhh so many things to ban from ebay...

Ps I noticed some UK based sellers on Ebay.nl Is that the solution ?

Sheesh, I'll bet you can buy a three foot long katana shaped letter opener (foot? I meant inch ) already. Good grief. I wonder how many hours it will take before people figure out how to crack the filters and sell knives anyway?

Hi Guys,

whatever the solution may be it is again another proof how Ebay tries to tighten their grip on the world market of vintage goods.
That they are making their own rules only based on making money and image.
After they took over paypal they have a lot power, so much that they take you wallet and pays back your customer as he claims not recieved item,not good described item, damage etc. without checking you firts.
The also like to exchange your dollars into euro's while the have free visit to my euro account.
No ebay doesn't take only listing fees, also a lot of excange fee!
Its much more expensive as you think. They are so enourmous sneaky!

And now the think they are working on "a better world" by exclude a Victorinox from action?
However they have made that rule I doubt however if seen to the leading position Ebay takes in the market they may exclude quite normal stuff like knifes,pocket knifes ,stanleyknifes and kitchenknifes from their site.
Isn''t that a kind of discrimination?

Bonjour, i do agree with you, Mandaukudi, Ebay have now a monopolistic position and their law is going to be harder particularly for the sellers. 1 negative notation and it's a suspension for sales for 4 weeks - time for them to judge your case, without of course asking the seller's point of view...
As for the knifes, impossible in France to sell a one inch blade....eaven if you home your item in another Ebay cie.
As you know, Ebay is the first car sellers in the world and now, they try to Invest the market of the real-estate.
They try hard to maintain their intermediary's juicy role to avoid any problem on the contents of purchases.
The justice does not follow them on that way ( they condamn Ebay for the Lancome case).
See U.

Don't forget screw drivers ... a fashion used in a determined African country the other day
