What goes with ebay?

Hi Richard,
E-bay U.K., as of the 10th of this month, will no longer be listing for sale any edged weapons e.g. swords, daggers, kitchen knives etc., the only thing they will allow is 'cutlery'. As of this moment in order to be able to bid on any of the ongoing auctions you require, at least in the U.K., to have a credit card registered with them as proof that the bidder is 18 years or over. I suspect that your problems are directly related to this E-bay policy.
My Regards,
Norman.

Norman,

I am in Canada, and was attempting to bid on items for sale in the Uk, but placed on ebay.com
Any further help would be most gratefully accepted.

I'm narked!

Richard.

Hi Richard,
Not sure what the problem is here. One of the regular edged weapons sellers has openly stated on his auctions that after the 10th he will be placing his items on E-bay U.S. but obviously dispatching from the U.K. If you want I can P.M. you his E-bay name and you can get in touch with him and see if he knows any more than I.
My Regards,
Norman.

Thanks Norman,
I read my PM first ,so please disregard the reply I made, as I got hold of wrong end of the stick, so to speak!

Best wishes,

Richard.

LOL, thats Pat! (I take it you mean d-f) I'm waiting to see how eBay responds to his obvious attempt to circumvent the latest silly rules.
I'm expecting a 30 day ban for him.

It's all as clear as mud.
I was attempting to bid on an item in the uk, but offered for sale on ebay.com and my bid wouldn't go through, so it appears that wherever a seller tries to sell his goods, if they are located in the UK were both screwed.

Does anyone know how to get bids accepted? ....
I can't get past the "page not responding " bit.
