Trapline Journal Weblog

eBay is revising it’s gun policy to ban the sale of any part that is used in the firing of a gun. This includes bullet tips, brass casings and shells, barrels, slides, cylinders, magazines, firing pins, trigger assemblies and more. Gun parts sellers are already being banned and their PayPal accounts frozen. Trappers and trap supply dealers who sell legal trapping equipment have been dealing with vague rules and auctions being cancelled with no apparent consistency for some time now.

There are other auction sites that support the 2nd amendment, like http://www.auctionarms.com and http://www.gunbroker.com. Auction Arms is running a limited-time special for abandoned eBay sellers.

Many gun sellers are abandoning eBay and PayPal over this new restriction. An electronic petition against this new policy has been setup at http://www.petitiononline.com/ebay0001/petition.html

Trapline Journal and Hunters Notebook will be available on Auction Arms and Gun Broker in the near future.
