man I feel safer now that these parts are of the open market and streets of America...how about packing in smaller kits amd selling here on LF, I wanted a few hold open spring and trigger springs and so on but did not need such large amount of 'em......it seems that everybody else is listing these item but you can't, sorry. I also found about 3 days ago a entire section of pornographic stuff...movies/toys/games/gay stuff, now I am not going to get on the soap box, but I see more harm in these industery then in your springs, there I off the soap box....

No such things can whip the smile of my face for long, it's like getting poked with a stick.. it passes

What to do with the parts.. I'm not sure, nor will I give it much thought this weekend. Wheater is reported to be nice, and there is an outdoor shooting competition coming up

I will not bring any more ebay 'reports' up (I'm guessing it will happen again).
Feel I had to clear my name about this, for those who was bidding. As I can't see that I have done anything wrong.

Btw. policeluger, I totaly agree on your opinion about the porn.. Young people driven into such are often in desperatly in need for cash. In many ways I think it is harder growing up today than when 'we' where young.

Just looking at Ebay policies on firearms parts that may have been part of the problem:

Furthermore, because of the varied international laws related to the sale of these items, those that are permitted may only be sold on eBay U.S under the following two conditions.

*The item is sold by sellers who are located in United States and
*The item location is also in the United States.

FYI on another venue (not firearms) a year or so ago myself and another seller had our auctions mysteriously cancelled for using a popular acronym in our titles. Ebay told us someone had filed a complaint.

I asked, " A complaint about what?"
Ebay said; "Using the acronym."
I said " There are 132 other sellers using that acronym- why are they not cancelled? Besides, no one owns the acronym."
Ebay said: "They have no complaint lodged against them."
I said: " Can I lodge a complaint against the other 132 sellers to stop using the acronym?" Ebay said: "No."
I said" "Why not?"
They said "That's not the way it works."
I said: " Well, if me and the other seller (we know each other) have had a complaint lodged against us, can we know who has accused us and why? You know, like being able to face your accuser. After all, this is looking like an unsubstantiated personal attack"
Ebay said: "No."
I said: "Why not?"
They said: "It doesn't work that way."

...and so on ad infinitum, ad nauseum through about 15-20 emails. They have an answer or non-answer for everything.That fiasco cost me over 2k in lost bids on the last day of the auctions. After that, a robot would cancel our auctions if we used the acronym or anything resembling it. I never sold the goods. Some more investigation proved it was a deliberate personal attack against me and my friend by someone who was jealous/had a chip on their shoulder/an axe to grind or whatever. After about 400 feedbacks & a great record, I gave up selling on Ebay after that.
