Knife policy being taken too far | Member To Member Support

I'm Trying to sell a bandsaw. Ebay says it breaches their knife policy. It weights about 160 kg. It's not really something you can pull out on someone in a dark alley. I've spent an hour on the phone which did manage to get it briefly listed before it was withdrawn again for breaking the rules on delivery- it needs a courier to do an age check. You can't get a courier who will take that weight or do an age verification. It's even more annoying as there are many bandsaw being advertised with collection only eg 287185932167If they are being so stupidly draconian with that rule can I point out that every car has a fan, therefore every car has a fan"blade". This should mean that every car sold has to be age verified and only sent by a courier. Are there any sensible people working for ebay- apart from the nice Irish lass that managed to get it listed the first time?. I have managed to list 2 other woodwork machines both with blades and again after some appeals got them live. Idiots applying the rules to the wrong items.
