eBay Eases Restrictions on Gun Parts Allowed for Sale or Auction
You probably know that eBay, the internet’s #1 auction site, forbids sales of firearms, actions, and ammunition. eBay has, in the past, also banned listings of a wide variety of gun components and accessories. However, eBay just issued a new policy allowing sales and auctions of more gun-related products. The “green light” has been given to sales of barrels, bolts, clips and magazines (10 rounds or less), triggers, firing pins, and hammers. In addition, listings of pistol slides and revolver cylinders are now allowed.
Even with the policy changes, “the listing of firearms, replica firearms, ammunition, and other firearm-related items is still prohibited on eBay.” In addition there remain some special restrictions: “You may now show your accessories on a firearm in your photo, as long as it is not an assault weapon and there is no indication in the listing that the firearm is included in the sale. You and all of the items listed must be located in the US and you must only offer domestic shipping on these items.” eBay’s new gun component policies are set forth in the following notice issued to eBay sellers.
New eBay Policies for Hunting Category Listings

Bolts
Choke tubes
Cylinders
Firing pins
Hammers
Magazines with a capacity to accept 10 rounds or less (high-capacity magazines that can accept more than 10 rounds are not allowed)
Slides
Trigger assembliesImportant Guidelines
We take the update to the Hunting category seriously and will monitor these items vigilantly for compliance with the eBay firearms policy and all relevant laws and regulations. If your listing does not meet the requirements of this policy, it may be removed, and you may be subject to a range of other actions, including restrictions to your buying and selling privileges and suspension of your account. Keep in mind these important guidelines when listing any of these firearm parts and accessories:You may now show your accessories on a firearm in your photo, as long as it is not an assault weapon and there is no indication in the listing that the firearm is included in the sale. You and all of the items listed must be located in the US and you must only offer domestic shipping on these items.
Listing accessories related to assault weapons is still prohibited on eBay. If your accessory is compatible with other weapons as well as assault weapons, you may list it, but may not mention any assault weapon compatibility. The listing of firearms, replica firearms, ammunition, and other firearm-related items is still prohibited on eBay. Please carefully review the site policy that outlines firearm restrictions before listing these items, and be sure your listings—titles, descriptions, and photos—are in compliance with the new update.

Too little, too late. eBay’s control of money flow, high fees, double fees, fees on shipping costs and it’s insane Paypal escrow policies have put it on a slide to demise. The libs running that show trying to throw a small bone to gun owners can go … well you know.
I’ll stick with gun boards, Gunbroker, Auction Arms, craigslist and Amazon, thank you. I’d rather take my chances on backpage than give a dime to eBay.
I threw eBay in with my 8 track tapes a long time ago.
EBAY is one step below the 3rd Reich.
I listed an ACOG scope for sale, they contacted me saying they were turning me into the California State police for selling an assault weapon.
Since I live on the opposite coast I was really worried.
They could not be made to understand it was an optic. The pic was only of the ACOG.
Dont patronize the EBAY enemy.
exactly, way to little to late, their anti gun policies are coming to fruition, ohh well ha ha
Why go trough all the trouble… Ebay and Paypal can go to… well, being gun owners you know.
One of the great things about living in America is choice. eBay, by choice, closed the door to the business of the shooting world for several years. Far as I am concerned by my choice, the door is still closed. I refuse to do business with people having anti-gun hearts. I remember those that vocally step on me.
only a good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun. cops are good guys with guns but they are usually too far away, thus we need armed good guys in places that need protection. I cant believe I cant buy brass on ebay. I too may stop buying and selling soon.
