Gav,
Good idea, I wonder if they will close the 'just list and buy on .com' loophole?
Hmmmm.
Robert.
Thats what I'm thinking, find a new venue!
I think that a whole lot of UK eabyers will be looking to jump-ship and as we all know, we dont just buy and sell weapons! I bet those who shift to another site will take the rest of their militaria/ethnographic/edged inventory with them! Its a golden opportunity for a new site to pick up serious traffic and sales.

Statistically the most 'dangerous' knives in the UK are Kitchen knives! The only ones they arent banning!
How they can justify banning the sale of antique swords because a researcher managed to buy a few penknives and a plastic combat knife from the US is a mystery!
But its going to lose them a huge amount of money and some serious buyers and sellers.
The knee-jerk that scored the own-goal.

They seem to have used the 'register your card to buy' rule in a random 'some buyers can, others cant' way.
Perhaps they want to show sellers its not worth listing knives anyway?
David
Ebay's mouthpiece on Watchdog said it would be a blanket ban with only cutlery being exempted so don't hold your breath for any common sense in its implimentation.
Spiral.
Ah nostalgia for the days when eBay ran perfectly well on a little trust and common sense!
Who'd have thought it looking at it now?
Rich
I think they'll be no shortage of people trying it but I fear ebay will close the loophole asap.
We need a new venue (and everyone of the UK collectors need to jump to it)
