Ebay is going to restrict more

The policy they are proposing will eliminate the sale of any item that helps to make a gun go bang...form the trigger to the barrel to the brass and bullets. Definitely from the LOFAN for certain. I sent a letter of protest and the answer I got sounds like one of the most assinine piles of crap . Sounds like a middle level political hack!
the answer below



Thank you for writing eBay in regard to the new firearms-related
policies.

While many everyday items can be used to cause harm to an individual,
most items we permit for sale on eBay are not designed with the intent
to cause harm or are not likely to be used to cause harm. In general, if
items are legal to buy and sell in an unrestricted manner, we allow them
to be sold on eBay. Many firearm-related parts that can legally be
bought or sold have historically been allowed on eBay.

However, after the tragedy at Virginia Tech, eBay's Trust and Safety
team along with executives at the company felt it was important to
re-examine our existing Firearms policy and evaluate if it still met the
needs of our marketplace and our company.

While no items related to the incident were purchased illegally on our
site, it was important to make some changes to ensure we do everything
possible to provide a safe marketplace. After careful consideration, we
decided to restrict listing any part that is required for the firing of
a gun.

It is my pleasure to assist you. Thank you for choosing eBay.



Sincerely,

Jasyn

My answer to them later..when I get over being pissed off!
