Hello everyone…In mid-August, we will be updating our Firearms, Weapons and Knives Policy to place more restrictions around gun-related items. Once these changes take effect, we will prohibit listings of any firearm part that is required for the firing of a gun. This includes items like bullet tips, brass casings and shells, barrels, slides, cylinders, magazines, firing pins, trigger assemblies, etc. Please read the Firearms, Weapons and Knives Policy for more details on our current policy.
As you may know, eBay does not allow the listing of any items which are regulated by individual states or the federal government; however, there are still a large number of firearm-related parts that are legal and are widely available in retail stores. These items have also historically been allowed on eBay.

After learning that some items purchased on eBay may have been used in the tragedy at Virginia Tech in April 2007, we felt that revisiting our policies was not only necessary, but the right thing to do. After much consideration, the Trust & Safety policy team – along with our executive leaders at eBay Inc. – have made the decision to further restrict more of these items than federal and state regulations require.

This new update continues to encourage safety among our community members and brings our policies in the U.S. and Canada in closer alignment with our existing policies in other markets around the globe.


Sincerely,

Matt Halprin
Vice President, Trust & Safety

There's no doubt it's true, Catpchee's text is quoted from Ebay's annoucements page.

thank you , i dint know how to get the link to that as it came through my in box yesterday .

as to stocks ? i disagree . its a basic  component needed to fire a  weapon and the rule   would most likely be stretch to them as well  just as they have stretch it to include other items  in the past

I can count the number of items that I purchased from pee-bay on one finger - I'll let you guess which one    .  Guess how many I'll be purchasing in the future???

Remember that VT psycho, bought a bunch of yellow rubber duckies. So I guess they are banned too! No Rubber Duckies!!!!  What if he chose to run his car through the home coming parade at 90 miles per hour that he bought on Ebay motors,. There goes Ebay Motors.. Not!!!!!!!! Too much money, Money talks. I buy A.B.S.O.L.U.T.L.Y nothing from them. Do the math.. The number of cars sold on Ebay and the drunk driving stats, and ebay motors has killed far more. But they get a higher commission. and they have a agenda.

I used to do a lot of business there, but the scam artists have invaded eBay heavily.  Their anti-gun positions have been well documented and should not come as a surprise to anyone.  I will be cancelling my account today.
