Ebay and the nanny state

macfly

I bought a lot of cordless carving knives at auction. Had a look on ebay and saw one other seller. I did the "sell one like this" thing and had it rejected within minutes as prohibited. Sadly the other buyer was kicked off too, not my intention.
I'm letting you know so you can feel safe in the knowledge that no miscreant feral hooligan will be attacking you with a cordless knife.
Thank you ebay, I feel much safer. (you may, however, get cut up by a cordless hedge trimmer or chain saw)

its picking up on the word knife - try 'tool' instead - but given how few they are i'd imagine that might be picked up too.

i tried to sell some vintage cigars and cases once, ebay have a catergory for it labelled as 'cigars'. I kept getting it booted off with different reasons as to why i couldn't sell them. Tobacco, embargoed goods etc
Why have a catergory for something you can't sell.
