The following is a fellow members response from Ebay concerning their new policy of not selling anything related to the firing of a gun.
Dear eBay Member,
Thank you for writing eBay in regard to our newly revised policy
concerning the sale of gun parts. I can certainly understand your
frustration in this matter and would like to clear this up for you.
While eBay hasn't allowed the sale of any item regulated by individual
states or the federal government in the past, there are still a large
number of firearm-related parts that are legal and are widely available
in retail stores. These items have also historically been allowed on
eBay.
Now, we are extending our policy to prohibit the sale of any item that
is required for the firing of a gun. These items include bullet tips,
brass casings, shells, barrels, slides cylinders, magazines, etc. Our
decision exceeds the requirements of federal and state regulations for
safety and ensures our US and Canadian policies are in line with our
eBay sites around the world.
Below, I have given you a list of the parts which are not
permitted:
- Receivers
- Frames
- Silencers
- Converters
- Barrels
- Choke tubes
- Slides
- Cylinders
- Magazines
- Firing pins
- Trigger Assemblies
- Live ammunition
- Bullets
- Brass/casings
- Shells
- Primers
- Gunpowder
- Any assault weapon-related parts or accessories
- Any part or accessory prohibited for sale by federal or California
law
The following items will continue to be permitted:
- Trigger guards
- Stocks
- Butt plates
- Pistol grips
- Holsters
- Storage cases
- Grips
- Cleaning supplies
- Cases
- Racks
- Slings
- Dies
- Molds
- Scopes
Please be aware that this policy has been in full effect since August
the 13th. With that said, any violating listings at this time will be
removed from the site. Please keep in mind that you can still purchase
these items from other businesses in the United States.
I am very sorry for the disappointment this has caused.
It is my pleasure to assist you. Thank you for choosing eBay.
Sincerely,
Charlize
