    Default Tips On Selling On Ebay???

    Hi Guys:

    Been a member on here some years now, been a member on Ebay much longer, and never had any problem with over 2,000 positive transactions....

    UNTIL....


    Ebay started singling out gun owners as potential "problem" sellers, which is a crock.

    Now I can't even post a simple ad selling a non-lethal item such as a scope or a grip plug or a Magpul stock....

    ALL OF THEM ARE REJECTED BY EBAY AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME "TRY AGAIN..." Excuse me, they can go fux* themselves.

    Any tips to "fool" their system or post more ads?? Thanks much....

    I can't help you with how to trick their system. But why not move to a more gun friendly platform and stop giving them your money? I stopped using eBay a while ago because of counterfeit goods, spam auctions, and their awful app.
    I've used GunBroker before with no real issue. Their search engine needs some help. I can't speak to what percentage they take from the seller. I know there are a few other auctions sites as well.

    I don't think you can really beat the system on ebay, so move on to Gunbroker instead.

    I wonder why you are being singled out? I just did a search on Marlin Glenfield, and got 9 pages of items, from stocks, trigger assemblies, magazines, to even barrels. 450 items. Reason I used that term is because a couple of years ago I got some magazines on Ebay for my 50 year old Glenfield 15.

    As long as it's not full guns/receivers or high cap mags you should be fine.
    One and a while ebay has that oddball part. I sold random parts with no issue.

    Good question as to being singled out....They pretty much can do whatever they want behind closed doors.....

    Sometimes I think they sit there with a dart board and used my account as the bullseye....

    I see hundreds of pages of gun parts and accessories on Ebay. I can't imagine everyone is experiencing these issues doing a simple listing. Is it something in the wording of the listing? A key word or phrase that their software algorithms are picking up and chewing you a new exit portal? I always check Ebay for old used gun parts first.

    I haven't sold stuff recently, but I have purchased mags and holsters over the years with no problems.
