EBay - New "Military Items Policy"

[Brian Dick]

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 USA. 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 USA to ship a No5 butt pad or a No1 swivel to England.

"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, UK, 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"

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.
