ebay shut down magazine auction

edwood · 12-06-2006, 07:28 AM

I was bidding on a luger magazine on ebay, and the auction was shut down. I contacted the seller and he said ebay sent him a notice that they do not alow dangerous items.
He put the auction up again, contacted me and told me it was now up, with a notice that the magazine was compliant with all ebay rules.
I bid again and again it was shut down.
I am going to work with the buyer direct but has any one ever heard of ebay banning luger magazines?

They shut down another Luger mag auction yesterday that I'd bid on only a couple of hours before. If you're going to sell a Luger mag you need to see how the other mag auctions are written up and don't make any changes. I guess it could be dangerous if you were barefooted and happened to drop it on your toe.

It's good that you can work directly with the seller.

It HAS to say it uses less than 10 rounds. Unless there is a new rule, which is possible, but that would be irritating, as they have always allowed them before...
