In regards to the new eBay policies addressing restrictions on firearm related parts being sold on eBay, I feel I must say some things.
To prohibit the selling of items considered dangerous because of the choices of a few persons with criminal intent only punishes the multitudes of honest buyers and sellers.
I have noticed you are not prohibiting sales of vehicles or their parts, and there have been more vehicles used in criminal acts and accidents than any firearms. There are swimming pools listed for sale, how many people have died in swimming pools? According to the Centers for Disease Control; "In 2004, there were 3,308 unintentional fatal drownings in the United States." You are also selling hand tools of numerous types, many of these types of items have been used in assaults. How can you know how many of these items have passed the eBay system? There is no way to know.
In singling out firearms, you are showing prejudice toward legal firearm owners, of which there are over 80 million in the United States. 80 million people is a HUGE customer base. I sincerely doubt that there are over 80 million illegal firearm owners in the U.S.
I have heard of several people wishing to cancel their eBay accounts because of this decision, and I must say that I am one of the people seriously considering that option myself.
I ask that you re-evaluate the decision. I believe that it goes against something eBay has stated in the eBay Community page;
We believe people are basically good.
We believe everyone has something to contribute.
We believe that an honest, open environment can bring out the best in people.
We recognize and respect everyone as a unique individual.
We encourage you to treat others the way you want to be treated.
There are several items listed above that contradict the new policy, and also contradicted eBay's previous policies concerning firearms. You can pick them out.
It is a sad fact that there are bad people among us, but punishing the many for the actions of a few is a travesty.
Thank you for your attention,

EBay is a world wide operation...I don't think Meg Whitman's gonna lose too much sleep at night knowing a handful of shooters aren't gonna do business with them anymore.their loss...
That would make a dandy cabinet level position, or at least subordinate to Homeland Security. (Sheesh, that name still makes me sick. Fatherland, Motherland, Homeland, SSDD).the Trust & Safety policy team
