Quote: In March 1999 eBay halted the sale of firearms. Later, unannounced, it decided photographs of guns aren't good either.

The change caught some users by surprise. Sellers are no longer allowed to add a real gun as a prop when offering items such as holsters, ammunition belts, slings, powder horns, uniforms, or anything in general that may be sold in categories such as military, sporting, and hunting.

Maryland eBay seller Todd Hughes, a member since 1999 with over 4400 feedbacks, found out the hard way in July when his listing of a holster was abruptly ended by eBay because it violated the prohibitive item policy...

Stock photos? The new rule apparently not only bans photos of real guns in listings but photos of photos found in gun catalogs and magazines....

You know this companies leaders have completely lost their fucking minds.

I see stories like this all the time when I scan many of the ebay forums.
(I know I said a long time ago I was staying away from there but it's an addiction)
Anymore I just look at this kind of stuff and shake my head.

I've seen so many larger sellers treated like this and what's even sadder
is in their comments they "just can't believe being such large long standing
paying customers" that ebay is treating them like common scammers, crocks and thugs
and ending thier listings.

IMO the regime at eBay is as much, if not more wacky than some
of these environmental groups or political correctness groups running around the country / world telling everyone how to live, what to smoke (or not smoke) what is acceptable to say and do etc.

The politics of Meg's extreme left wing communistic politically correct and social
engineering experimental utopia project does indeed
illustrate a pattern that has one goal in mind and that is
WORLD DOMINATION and to control the masses with economic fear, social intimidation
and political correctness.

Only problem is... the peeps ain't buying it just yet and
a Stalin like "Regime" style grip on the masses of the world is actually
going in the opposite direction me thinks.

I'm really starting to wonder if this bitch really is the antichrist. :blinkie:
