Happy as a dog with two tails to have won this nice dagger for US $ 70 on eBay from a seller in the good ol' USA , I was awaiting delivery last week....
Was indeed....past tense. ![]() Strange for a country who is the world biggest arms dealer, that eBay now has prohibited the sale and shipping of my dagger from that same country. ![]() I contacted eBay, they provided me a link stating : "Restricted items and categories Items included in eBay's hazardous, restricted or regulated materials policy, or that don't follow our International trading policy, can't be shipped using eBay International Shipping. Items that are shipped to buyers in the UK need to comply with all applicable UK laws and regulations. We have put measures in place to prevent US items that may not comply with UK regulations, such as CE Certification and/or Plugs and Sockets Regulations, from being sold to buyers in the UK. Due to export limitations and restrictions, items listed in the following categories also can't be shipped with eBay International Shipping. This is not an exhaustive list and it may be updated based on transportation regulations and export laws. Any category or items containing Radium or other radioactive materials Dangerous goods requiring hazardous handling labels & documentation Export-controlled items requiring license > Ex. Military vehicle parts Business & Industrial > Heavy equipment & attachments. Collectibles > Knives, swords & blades " So this restricts all of us buying cold weapons from eBay USA based sellers... Sad to see that country declining by the decade commercially, as already a decade ago shipping charges doubles to trebled, making that country uninteressting to buy from. Not only cold weapons but even books; I used to buy many books ( quite some antique) books where shipping went from $ 20 to $ 45 - $70.... Makes me singin' the Blues .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...e=emb_imp_woyt Last edited by gp; 21st April 2024 at 12:42 PM. |
