Ebayand gun parts?

[Tenifer17]

I have heard at one point in time that Ebay didnt allow any gun parts to be sold there . Is this true?

I heard it was "any part that allows a gun to be fired" .

I have saw magazines , barres and slides on there for sale last night .

Any information on this ?

This site explains a little: http://www.ecommercebytes.com/cab/abn/y12/m06/i01/s02

Yep, all changed now.

Maximum 10 round magazine rule in effect, though.

eBay policy now on their own pages:

I have noticed some people selling high capacity magazines. I do not know if they remain on ebay the full time or not. I wander if they have a ebay police software that scours the site looking for key words so as to remove?

And PayPal policy states that they use the same policy as eBay. So if you can buy it on eBay you can pay for it with PayPal.

I have bought and sold a bunch of gun related stuff and used PayPal. Never had a problem.

Main filters happen when submitting a listing, either using web interface or TurboLister. Third party listing apps get scrutinized too, since they have to use eBay API. It's never perfect though, things slip through. I've read that search results get fed back through filter checks to some degree also.

eBay will end items against their TOS when users squeal, too. Competing vendors are the most vocal, stands to reason, and PowerSellers have special communication access.

But they won't nuke even obvious counterfeits unless the actual right holders report them through VeRO program; in the outdoor/sporting genre, knives are especially susceptible and even VeRO member companies generally don't/can't keep up with reporting. Buck knife fakes are probably the most numerous.

You'll also often see items with blatant anti-TOS key word spamming survive also, like "Spyderco style folding knife" and the like.
