Here's a copy of an e-mail I wrote to eBay today regarding their policies on firearms and accessories. If you aren't aware, they will be enacting new policies on June 8 that ban the sale of firearms parts/accessories for "assault weapons".
It's a damn shame and in my opinion.......this whole thing is criminal. The letter could be better I suppose, but it gets the point across. Unfortunately, I doubt it will matter to them. They, along with other businesses, obviously are being directed by something other than customers.

Dear eBay,
As an eBay seller and moreso, a buyer........I strenuously urge eBay to reconsider its new policy of not allowing certain firearm accessories to be put up for auction any longer.
eBay policies are getting too political and they are already over the top when it comes to firearms. They are too restrictive and offensive. eBay is demonstrating an anti-gun position with these new policies and whether it is because eBay is being bullied into it or is actually anti-gun, will not matter to the eBayers who are very upset about this. I am one of those eBayers and I for one have done hundreds of dollars of business on eBay simply because of firearms accessories. eBay firearms policies will hurt business financially and politically, because as with Kmart for example, anti-gun attitudes (such as Kmart and now the ones eBay has taken on) in a nation founded on priniciples of gun ownership and the 2nd Amendment will come back to haunt you.
The progressive anti-gun positions that eBay continues to build on are very negative and offensive to large numbers of Americans and others......many of whom are eBayers.
Please reconsider the soon to be enacted eBay policies. They will serve only to damage eBay success and the freedoms that Americans pride ourselves on.
Sincerely,
eBay buyer & seller
