    You've got the listing fee, then 10% of the end value fee, then 4% of the paypal payment.
    So sell something for £200 and you actually end up with around £170

    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.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    The only thing more puzzling then Ebay's draconian 'gun parts' policy is their inconsistant enforcement of said policy.....

    This comes from the way their enforcement software works; it scans for keywords like magazine, bolt, trigger, trigger part etc, and alerts a human operator, who inspects the listing. Thats how a magazine can get away with being called an enfield box, it'll go under the radar until someone either dobs them in, or a random inspection by ebay staff spots it.
    Likewise enfield boltheads are technically against the rules, as being a crucial part of the firing mechanism, but they don't know the word for it, and seeing the creatively correct phrase 'enfield clearance adjuster', recently from a seller, just might work for some time to come.
    Chin up chaps, its all a good excuse to patronize the likes of gunbroker more, who have really stepped into the gaps left by ebay.

    That is why I put the sight on gunboards - why patronize a company that is out to %$%^^%$ me for every penny they can get, is anti-gun, and blocks the posting of legitimate items?

    Wow, I guess that anything with your respective nation's emblem on it would be prohibited as well. After all, our nation's flags, are used as miltary banners as well. So an American company prohibits the sale of anything with an American logo as this represents un-American beliefs? I have a headache.

    My latest from ebay, came today. The peculiar thing is the listing ran its week, didn't sell, closed last week, and hasn't been relisted by me. And three other items of mine in the same category are all OK.
    HUH? Random enforcement...
    Plus, they've missed the part where my listing says the parts are in NZicon, not the USAicon, so that makes me not even under the umbrella of this rule of theres. Second time they've tried this to me.


    Unfortunately, we had to remove your listing because the following information violates our policy:

    Items that attatch to a gun can only be shipped domestically in the United States. Please do not relist this item with world wide shipping.

    ...and yes, items that attach to a gun include slings, scope lens caps, etc. evil people aren't we? ...

    What was the part in question ?
    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...
