Nightmare wasted day: Age Verification for postage | Postage

I spent a few hours doing photos and AI research on two antique paper knives and thought one was ready to go. Only it wasn't. It was a bladed item so, to sell it on eBay, I had to specify an Age Verification service. Fair enough, that is the Law. So I tried to find out from Royal Mail with no success, then I tried eBay Help. My own attempts to set an Age Verification Postal Policy were not accepted. A whole day I'll never get again. Multiple attempts to take a call which all failed. The idea that a NED is going to buy an antique paper knife on eBay to go around stabbing people with is ridiculous when all he needs to do is buy a good sharpener and get a dinner knife from the kitchen. Our lawmakers are such snowflakes.
