Ebay UK total Ban on knives, Where next for UK collectors?

[katana]

It is not the first time 'Watchdog' have 'targeted' internet auction sites....Amazon had the 'treatment' awhile ago.....the difference is that Amazon dealt with it and blocked the 'loop-holes'. eBay 'rolled over' ...frightened to stand-up to 'sensationalised criticism'.

I would hope that eBay re-think their position ...surely just to allow the sale of vintage/antique would be better than nothing. It would make sense that they introduce a registration system for buyers and sellers ....after all they only have to view your feedback to see that you collect / sell weapons.

I also feel that the 'over-reaction' by eBay may have repercussions elsewhere on the internet.

Good points Kronck
