IF the blade of the fruit knife is longer than 3 inches or 7.5cm. It is deemed a potential weapon, This will be under the weapons act 2019 and the criminal justice act. eBay take a blanket view on matters (and rightly so) that any bladed item needs to be sent with age verification. The only age verification service ebay offer on this is with UPS.

So when you set the listing up you need to select UPS age verification as the service.
