I haven't read the new policy on eBay, so I'm assuming for now that this is legit.

eBay needs to get bombarded with emails, letters, and phone calls from VETERANS groups, demanding to know why eBay has a problem with anything "military." After all, it was the MILITARY that defended our freedoms from Iwo Jima to Korea to all the places that our boys (and girls) in uniform continue to put their lives at risk in the service of their country.

When it comes to the military category, eBay cannot hide behind the excuse of being cautious about gun laws, etc. They need to be called out on this. Memorial Day, Veteran's Day and such occasions are good opportunities to get the mainstream media to notice a story like this.

It's not simply about some crusty old bayonet collectors who can no longer sell their stuff....this policy is equating "military" with something inherently bad. Most people in the general public would find that offensive, if it was brought to wider attention.

....
I did a quick check, but cannot find anything on eBay regarding a blanket ban on anything military. Alan, can you please quote the whole email, or point us to the policy at an eBay URL? Maybe eBay US and eBay UK have different policies?

Thanks!

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.
