Just received an email from the eBay. It is said like the following:

Important Notice: Hunting Guidelines and Category Changes

New Guidelines
The following guideline changes, which limit what can be sold on eBay, will take effect June 8th, 2004:

The sale of any assault weapon-related parts or accessories will not be permitted (applies to all parts and accessories related to any firearm defined as an "assault weapon" by federal or California law).
The sale of any firearm receiver or firearm frame will not be permitted (whether complete receivers and frames, components and parts of receivers and frames, or "cut," "80%," or "partially complete" receivers).
Category Changes
In order to improve the ability of buyers to find your items, the category structure of the Hunting category has been expanded to include the creation of three separate categories for Gun Related items:

Gun Safety & Storage
Gun Parts
Gun Accessories
The Scopes, Optics, Taxidermy, Reloading Equipment & Vintage categories have also been expanded. For more information you may view the whole list of new categories.

AWB II in eBay? What the hell do they want to do??? First they don't allow the sell of the air gun on their website, then they go further today! I really doubt that the eBay is in the hands of some disgraceful anti-gun nuts.:cuss: They saw no hope for them to renew the AWB, so they bring out this plan. It could only show their dark mind and evil thought.

Let these nuts cry! We will see the AWB sunset and make sure that it will never return!:neener:

At the same time, this behavior of eBay is really something we should pay attention to. :mad:

I am sort of upset at them too. They won't let me sell some pre-ban 32 round magazines that I bought in a box of stuff at an auction.

Pre-ban.

I thought they were legal.

I guess after 9-13-04 they will revise that prohibition.

NOT!

Hey boofus,

Careful on the epithets. There are actually gay people who are regulars on this board, me included. :neener: :D

Regardless of any reality, their concern is that people won't follow the law in transferring firearms. There is a fear of being included in some sort of liability lawsuit if an illegally transferred firearm has resulted from an eBay deal.

While I don't like their views on this, remember we've talked about the ridiculous nature of anti-gun lawsuits many times here at THR...
