    Maybe I should set up an Ebay.com account with a USAicon address.
    Alan,

    Had a similar problem when a bayonet was listed under knives, you can still bid but need to prove your age, I was bidding at the end and missed out on a nice Vickers made 1907 bayonet.

    Have a look at the sticky in the Edged weapons forum.

    Most uk sellers now register there items on the USA site, have seen one or two slip through the net in the UK, but they dont have any mention of bayonet, knive etc.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Use Gunbroker instead. I've refused to cut my own throat from from the start by using Ebay. They DO contribute to the antigun cause.

    John, I recently encountered U.S. State Dept. policy in the form of a proviso on an approved export license controlling the resale or transfer of a 7.62 caliber firearm outside of the USAicon. I posted it here earlier. This crap is happening since our illustrious Secretary of State signed on to the UN small arms treaty back in October of last year. Very quietly I might add! The gun ban agenda is in full swing incrementally. People in this country don't know it because they are doing it on the sly.

    Easy for you to say when you are on that side of the pond - just try and get average Joe in the USAicon to ship a No5 butt pad or a No1 swivel to Englandicon.

    "No Exports" is virtually always the response to my emails.

    If they will ship - How do us Brits pay ?
    By Paypal ?


    Unfortunately ebay can set its own rules (its their bat & ball) and we have no choice but to abide by them. It doesnt make it any less frustrating tho'

    When searching for a product / category on ebay you can specify 'worldwide' and it will bring up any seller who has said they will ship worldwide. Maybe Gunbroker could learn something here.

    Its still the best place to find 'bits & pieces', albeit at top prices.

    Just having a browse on ebay, (was looking for a Ducati 750 SS) thought i,d have look at Lee Enfield stuff, so typed it in the search, when i scrolled down to search wordwide this option has now gone, options now are:

    UN, commonwealth, UKicon, Not specified.

    Had a look under bayonets and we ( UK) still have the worldwide option.

    Strange !!!

    Just tried it (22:00 hrs) and the 'location' options (under the Enfield search) are ;
    1) UK Only
    2) Worldwide

    Re the bayonets - ebay is just teasing you - try to put a bid in and see what happens.
    You'll get a message something to the effect "as a UK resident you are not allowed to bid on this item"
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    Alan, I can't speak for other sellers over here. They're either too lazy to do the minimal paperwork required at the post office or intimidated by the vast and confusing array of government regulations on this stuff. I do many exports of rifles and shotguns for people in the UKicon and elsewhere overseas but my export services don't come cheap. Neither does the licensing and effort involved in the process. I ship non-controlled items all over the world and have for years. I usually accept payment by credit card or international money order in USD. On rare occaision I'll accept bank transfers for large payments. I refuse to hold a PayPal account. Brian

    For people I buy and sell with on a regular basis Paypal is a very good option.If you send funds as 'gift' no charge.
    UKicon banks charge a fortune for IBAN payments and cashing cheques from US banks and it takes forever.

    Type in "Lee Enfield" and have a look at options.

    Have only had one prob with the bayonets, i picked one up the other week with no probs (it was a vickers 1907 the same make i had the problem with), have bought over 10 so far on ebay.

    I received the same message, after clicking on a line or box it diverted me to a page to confirm my age, think it wanted me to confirm some details on my account.

    We do have other avenues here in the U.S., Auction Arms and Gunbroker. The only problem is the general population doesn't know about these sites. What were the items that were trying to be sold on ebay.
