Only if you post a link to the auction.

Did anyone actually READ the first post other than just spot the word KNIVES?
!!!!!!! Is that the limit of your reading ability?
Yes EBAY DID SELL GUNS! They now sell knives but claim to be against them.
Perhaps if I made a 30 second music video saying
EBAY ARE HYPOCRITICAL
you MIGHT just get what I am saying here

Oh, go back to reading the Mail and the Sun, that's all that you lot can manage....

THREAD ENDED.....

Maybe you should make a 30 second music video explaining why you feel the need to type in capital letters as if it is somehow going to make your point more VALID!

Oh and because it would be a shame to have a thread about knives without actually seeing some.

Please people, read my initial post. It is not the actual Knives issue, you can be stabbed with sharp fruit or a pointystick. It's is just the hypocritical attitude that GREEDBAY are applying to this issue:-

Oh dear, we are concerned and want to stop it too, just after we rake in another LOAD of fees or until you have all forgotten about it. So we will mouth some platitudes and post a message but do not-a-lot about it. We will continue to let you sell them but we will set up a really poor reporting system in an attempt to dissuade you from telling us about it...

Since it's been established by the OP that name based puns are the wittiest form of wit, i feel it necessary to jump on the bandwagon

Since you seem to be so desperate, Spammy the Spanner (oh how we laughed), for someone to address the issue of Ebays (I think i'll use it's real name as I am not a comedy genius like you) hypocrisy in the difference between it's message and the items it sells, I shall oblige you.

Firstly I am assuming, since you claim repeatedly that Ebays lack of reduction in Knives is down to greed, that you have access to figures showing the pecentage of ebay sales and profits per day/week/month/year that are made by the sale of these implements. It might just be me, but I would say it is incredibly stupid to argue a motive of greed as fact (which you repeatedly do) without knowing these figures and I would like to know what percentage of Ebays profits are represented by knife sales.

Secondly, in order to make such strong statements regarding the internal motivations of Ebay as a company (as ilustrated above in your helpfully italicised expositions of Ebay thinking) I assume you must have access to some internal memos or emails between members of Ebay management expressing these views. Surely you would not be dim enough to argue mere speculation and conjecture as fact with no actual evidence

The only other justification for your previous posts are that they are subjective opinions and interpretations of Ebay policy not backed up by any actual evidence. If this is the case then thats fine as you have every right to these opinions, however, I would suggest that opinions based on speculation and interpretation do not give you firm enough foundation to question the intellectual ability of other people who do not share them.

Every single point you have raised so far is subjective, therefore it is simply an opinion and I would suggest that your opinions would be given more weight if supported by facts rather than cheap insults and tired attempts at comedy. As for suggesting that peoples intellectual level is akin to that of the Sun, I would suggest you compare your own editorial style (of random capitalisation) to the tabloids before denigrating anyone else.

perhaps you should be more proactive and make suggestions to ebay
perhaps make knife sales paypal only,and only backed by a credit card
this ensures the person paying 'should' be 18
just like this store does

Just be very careful; that silver one bottom-right appears to be trying to sneak off to commit random acts of knife crime...:o
