Unfortunately, we had to remove your listing because of the following:

Your listing was removed because you listed an item that you identified as compatible with M4, AR-15, and DPMS, assault weapons.

Yes sir. I listed 3 California bullet buttons I removed from 3 carbines when I became a WA resident. Tried to list on eBay and got the same message.

Ended up selling them as well as my 10 round magazines on calguns.

Yes. eBay amended their rules after Newtown to ban sales of "assault weapon parts."

eBay is a Bay-area business run by gun grabbers, so don't be surprised.

Restricted:
Accessories that fit a variety of different weapons, including assault weapons. But in your listing, you can't mention any assault weapon compatibility.

Not allowed:
Any weapon defined as an assault weapon by federal or California law
Bayonets designed to fit an assault weapon
Blueprints, milling, or forging specifications for assault weapons
Flash suppressors
Grenade launchers
Instructions or blueprints on how to convert a semi-automatic to a fully automatic weapon
Items identified as a part for an assault weapon or as an accessory for an assault weapon
Listings for gun parts that don't specify the kinds of weapons the parts are used for
Receivers or frames for assault weapons, regardless of whether they're complete receivers and frames, components and parts of receivers and frames, or cut or 80 percent receivers

This is nothing new for ebay. They have restricted sales for anything " AR " related for years. Sometimes things slip through their control programs but the letters "ar" have always been a red flag to them. Do not use "ar" in your listing. I had to relist a Colt scope without the "ar" in the description a couple years ago. It's their business and is what it is. Nothing to get excited about.

Amazon has also put restriction on certain items. Some I purchased before in 2012 are not allowed on Amazon now.

Amazon donated $30k in gift cards to the recent Seattle gun buyback.

I used to sell thousands of dollars stuff on ebay, not anymore

since they took over paypal and deny all transfer relate to guns. I closed my account and keep everything local. If everyone will do the samething I do, I bet you all that Ebay will email us all and begging us to go back and do business with them.

Wow! Had no idea. Sad.

It's funny. Ebay retroactively cancelled several completed auctions I had that ended with buy-it-now. They credited back all my fees too, as if the listing never happened. I was pissed about the auctions I still had running but it was a considerable amount in fees so I was alright with it overall. It's their site. I just won't use it anymore. The fees are exorbitant and the rules oppressive.
