Weird EBAY Glitch. Did anybody encounter this? Knife Ban US?

Hello Aleksey,
I just see that you are coming from US, I am from Germany. I just read the policies and the reason why my item has been removed is that I list it in US e-bay and I am not US townsman and the item location is Germany. But it isn't really clear to me. But still don't understand why your item is removed.

Guys,

Just tried to revise with NO international shipping at all, but still have the same problem.

It almost seems like ebay has a team of people working on checking the ebay items for the new UK ban policy and some of them either dont care nor dont know and just remove or mark "BAD" items that really shouldn't.

Or maybe its the opposite, computer does the checking and nobody really checks the results after.

In any case its frustrating as heck.

Hello Aleksey,
I just listed new in german e-bay. From german e-bay I know that they let search by computer with key words (knife, dagger, sword, blade). I think it's the same in US. Have to agree with you complete, it is frustrating, have had already two bids on!

Why not support THIS FORUM where we don't have to pander to the whims of "Big Brother". I realise that maybe we don't get the wide coverage, but with the continued S+++ from Ebay, surely this is the place to sell/ buy/trade items!!
Even if it means that we have to (eventually) pay a small fee to trade here, to help finance the Site, it is surely much less frustrating than fighting the rediculous rules and regulations being imposed!
