Reason #37 on Scout26's list of why he doesn't do business with Evil-Bay.
I sell lots of gun parts, reloading tools, and reloading components on e-Bay.
I've been using e-Bay and PayPal for my home business for the last several years, with great success.
Just like all the other successful folks with e-Bay businesses that sell gun-related items, we simply ignore and could care less about their policy.
E-Bay's biggest concern is being liable for the sale of items to states where they're still banned. Hence the 10-round magazine limit on all mags auctioned, regardless of where the item is physically located.
I rather enjoy making a profit at e-Bay's and subsidiary PayPal's expense, regardless of what their policy is. The only reason folks get caught by e-Bay is the way they phrase their auctions, specifically using words that the automatic filtering software flags and sends to e-Bay employees to follow up on. If your auction description states "AK-47 stock" then chances are it's gonna get flagged. Use terms like "SAR-1 stock", or something similarly benign, and you'll have no problems.
Take a look at e-Bay and the huge amount of gun-related stuff that's up for auction right now. e-Bay and PayPal may indeed have some silly anti-gun policies, but they're no match for the smart gun-owner looking to sell or buy gun-related items. Beat them at their own game, and make a profit in the process.
