Here's a link to the press release http://www2.ebay.com/aw/core/200707301000452.html
and it looks like you can call ebay and voice your opinion on their radio program. Here's the link to let them know how you feel, http://www2.ebay.com/aw/core/200707310922132.html.

We're going to start making the move to gunbroker in the next month because everything we sell on our ebay store is about to be banned. The shelves on our gunbroker store are a little bare but that will change very soon. Here's the link, http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/SellerAuctions.asp?User=829444.

And don't forget to contact the NRA, become a member if you aren't yet, and let ebay know how you feel. "This new update continues to encourage safety among our community members and brings our policies in the U.S. and Canada in closer alignment with our existing policies in other markets around the globe.", Matt Halprin. I don't think conforming to another country's policies is the best course of action.

This isn't just a problem for hunters and sportsmen in the United States either. More restrictions on residents means more restrictions on hunters coming here for vacation. The ability to enjoy these freedoms is shared with visitors and people like this are trying to take that away from you also. People that live in other countries know what stricter gun policies do to their sport and way of life because they experience it first hand. It would be helpful to also hear from you and tell your opinions on this matter.

**Message from Matt Halprin – New Listing Restrictions on Gun Parts***

July 30, 2007 | 10:00AM PST/PT


Matt Halprin
Hello everyone…In mid-August, we will be updating our Firearms, Weapons and Knives Policy to place more restrictions around gun-related items. Once these changes take effect, we will prohibit listings of any firearm part that is required for the firing of a gun. This includes items like bullet tips, brass casings and shells, barrels, slides, cylinders, magazines, firing pins, trigger assemblies, etc. Please read the Firearms, Weapons and Knives Policy for more details on our current policy.
As you may know, eBay does not allow the listing of any items which are regulated by individual states or the federal government; however, there are still a large number of firearm-related parts that are legal and are widely available in retail stores. These items have also historically been allowed on eBay.

After learning that some items purchased on eBay may have been used in the tragedy at Virginia Tech in April 2007, we felt that revisiting our policies was not only necessary, but the right thing to do. After much consideration, the Trust & Safety policy team – along with our executive leaders at eBay Inc. – have made the decision to further restrict more of these items than federal and state regulations require.

This new update continues to encourage safety among our community members and brings our policies in the U.S. and Canada in closer alignment with our existing policies in other markets around the globe.


Sincerely,

Matt Halprin
Vice President, Trust & Safety

This stinks!!!

Its very obvious that e-bay's Matt Halprin Vice President, Trust & Safety
doesn't understand the second amendment or that guns and "bullet tips"
don't kill people, people kill people. What a moron!
Too many times in Corp. America I have seen the case of "Promoting the Problem". That is how moron's like Matt Halprin get to be VP's.

I hope everyone in the shooting community will boycott e-bay.

Keep in mind that the tragedy at Virginia Tech was not handled properly by the school and all the warning signs out there were ignored. Better hope that the NY senator doesn't make it into Washington, we will really see gun control. :shock:

Don't forget to boycott Pay Pal. They don't allow the use of thier services for the purchase of guns.
Matt Halprin is clearly un-educated about guns.

I may be mistaken but aren`t automobiles also regulated by the governments??

Apparently they don't check what people are sending out for their email marketing right now.

I especially like that the ebay logo made it on the newsletter.

Nosler,
You guys should make this topic into a sticky so new viewers can always see it and as a reminder to the rest of us.
Maybe a sticky that has ebays new anti gun policy or a link to it.
