It struck me as super suspicious, or crazy fraud.That seller clearly does not want to accept PayPal goods.
The "add 15%" sale ad is ridiculous. Why don't you just calculate in the 15% yourself, along with the shipping costs, and then just give a final G&S price? Boom! All in the rules along with buyer protection!! Wake up folks!
In fairness, that one's prices would be super competitive on a couple knives even with a 15% G&S premium, but it's too weird for me to bite.
If after the calculations, the bottom line price is still a good deal, there will always be some interested buyers. However, I would also avoid dealing with an unknown seller that has a complicated sales presentation.In fairness, that one's prices would be super competitive on a couple knives even with a 15% G&S premium, but it's too weird for me to bite.
I like it when people state F&F only: it quickly tells me who I shouldn't be dealing with.

BF HAS THE SAME RISK AS A NEWSPAPER THAT PUBLISHES AN AD [REMEMBER THOSE?] SELLING SOMETHING TO BE PAID FOR F&F - NONE.I apologize if this is a repetition of something that may have been posted before. Why doesn't BF institute a policy that F&F can not be done here? Isn't it a matter of time before Lawyers on retainer from Paypal look for something to do? I really don't see why this is even a debatable issue. BF needs to protect it's own interest and avoid unnecessary risks.

Sure, the law may change. Selling knives for home delivery may become illegal as it is in the UK. Until then, none, nada, zip, zero.That may be true in the past and maybe now. But just as some people who sell on the bay suddenly discovered that they can be taxed by their State, things can change. There's nothing for BF to gain by taking an unnecessary risk.

If BF is not responsible for what the members do, then BF should not be responsible for what members post. Yet, the forums are moderated.
The content on the forums is BF responsibilty ... what individuals do on another site (PayPal) is not BF responsibilty ... the listing may be on here but the wrong doings and abuse of PayPal's policies are done in PayPal.
