Are you F**ing kidding me????

[tigerham]

I just listed two transformers on Ebay, Prime & Megatron and Ebay have now removed my listing because Megatron transforms into a gun and breaches the firearms act on Ebay!!!!

ARE YOU F**KING KIDDING ME??? IT A TOY!!!!

 

[tigerham]

I have just relisted it as follows...

LOL thats hilarious point out that they allow stuff like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/COMBAT-3-TOY-MACHINE-GUN-WITH-LIGHTS-AND-SOUND-ideal-xmas-gift-/271094857280?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3f1e833e40


and not a transformers one lol, suppose they best remove all nerf guns too

:lol:

Hey Ham, how you keeping?
Same thing happened to me a while back. I listed a moc with the words Weapon Error or similar in the description and they pulled it. Crazy!
Good luck with the sales. I've got great memories of getting those one christmas as a kid.

 

[tigerham]

Thank you dude for that link and have now sent them that and I am sure there are many I could send them. How rediculous!! Makes me chuckle and at the same time very sad for the company that they still have a very backward way of thinking. Oh well, they will learn in good time I am sure. ~ Xx

 

[tigerham]

And thank you Lee, I'm well and hope you guys are too. ~

 

[plantman]

i think they either have a very poor "keyword" filter or are just paying thick monitor staff who just remove any listing they are dumb enough to not read properly

 

[tigerham]

I have just seen this from the Netherlands...

So am guessing that Ebay UK has different rules than others. I guess another way around this would to get someone from a different 'less reserved' country to list it for me and post to UK and their country ONLY, lol. ~;D

http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_nkw=compound+bow&_frs=1

which is illegal in Australia without a firearms license
yet a toy gun is not allowed :lol:
The last time I got a Han solo blaster- customs did open it :roll:

edit: no crossbows show up on ebayuk so must be a UK thing.

 

[tigerham]

lol, it's a funny world we live in... at the moment. ~;D Xx

 

[tigerham]

Yes James I think our country has yet to loosen it's collar and tie so to speak. ~;D

 

[PGowdy]

Holy **** James :shock: ... so an actual deadly weapon is fine. Megatron is not. :roll: :lol:

 

[tigerham]

lol with Pete. By the way Pete I have the complete series one Garbage Pail Stickers up on Ebay, not sure if you are interested at all and of course I would do you a great deal if you were. ~

 

[PGowdy]

Yeah man, depends how much you want for them? :wink:

 

[aussiejames]

Holy **** James :shock: ... so an actual deadly weapon is fine. Megatron is not. :roll: :lol:

well that's the weird part, a crossbow even a paintball gun is NOT legal in Australia without a firearms license. Yet a compound bow is available on ausebay ( legal but not sure why a crossbow isn't). Heck even a slingshot is not legal to import so who knows what is going on :?:

 

[tigerham]

Make me an offer Pete in PM and I'm sure we'll come to a deal. ~

 

[tigerham]

Also if anyone wants to make me offers on any other of my items then feel free as money is not important to me anymore and would only want what I paid for them at tops so trust me I am sure you will get a great deal out of me. ~;D Xx

P.s. and NO I haven't won the lottery! lol.

 

[tigerham]

Hurry though Pete as someone has just put a bid on the stickers and will pull it if you want them. ~

P.s. sorry, I say hurry as I do not want the auction to run longer if I am going to pull it as to not let others down too far in the auction if that makes sense.

 

[lee gray]

That certainly is a......................Are you F**ing kidding me????

 

[Frunkstar]

Nice to see you on again Ham, shame its not better circumstances.

I have had them pull listings for similar descriptions, its sheer lunacy m8, I have a distinct feeling that the monitoring is done by an auto check search engine rather than a real human being, as the **** that does get pulled off any ****ing moron could see it not contravening there rules, either that or they are employing McDonalds rejects :shock:

Hope life is being good to you
