OT: On the lighter side, a vendor's battle with eBay

Read the questions from buyers too. They're great. I think they're maxed out at 100. I tried to ask him :

"I didn't understand all your talk about primers and powder. I just want to know, could you shoot someone with these things? Aren't they dangerous? How could e-bay permit them to be listed? Also, nowhere does it say that the blade length on these items is under 5 cm. G-day mate."

but it didn't get added to the list.
 
I'm about halfway through ... stupid ePay jerks :grumpy: At this pace they'll be buyer's paradise - with no sellers. Idiots.
 
I have e-mailed the listing to several pals. OMG, and I thought nothing was worse than govenrnment functionaries. :rolleyes:
 
I can't tell who is dumber: the e-bay police, or several of the commenters? :confused:

:D

Unfortunately, ignorance of this type is probably not limited to Ebay. I seem to remember some middle school kid getting harassed for having some empty brass he picked up at a family trip to the range. Looks like a gun, must be bad.

On the good side, earlier today an ex-girlfriend sent me pics of her firing an AR. It was her birthday. :eek: :D

Is that ammunition for a Parrot gun? ; buyer, EBAY

Obscure, but interesting. Could you mean a "Parrot Rifle?" Always liked cannon.


I have been corresponding with a friend in Australia. Their gun control, sword control, whole "Big Brother" bit is stifling!

He told me that the governent went so far as to confiscate pocket knives at a meeting of "graziers" (cattlemen). There was no trouble, no incident that brought the cops. They just did it.

Another guy was arrested for having keys on his key chain that he couldn't account for.

The situation is ludicrous.

He LOVED the eBay ad from this thread. He thinks that the guy answering for eBay Australia is a "polli" who is moonlighting.

I have met a few Aussies and liked them one and all. It appears that the "pollis" or politicians are real jerks.
 
I just got an e-mail from Bob;

"Here we go again!

They killed my auction because they say I included information that was not relevant to the item, I corrected them as it is all relevant and Ive relisted it as item 7136965943. Save the brass!

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7136965943&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

We must get the message out there! I am more determined than ever!

Cheers,

Bob"


I had asked him; "Is it true that after 1770, when Captain James Cook took possession in the name of Great Britain, that Australia transformed itself into an internationally competitive, advanced market economy utilizing Ebay as a driving force"? :confused: :D

They killed that auction too. Ebay has a lot of morons working in Australia and the U.S. A few weeks ago I was bidding on a vehicle in the $20,000 range. I noticed definite "shill" bidding and notified them. They agreed, but did little or nothing about this. Ebay is a free for all...except apparently for Bob!!
