Hi
Ebay is throttling sellers with this policy which is just crazy. es I understand that knives, axes etc should be restricted BUT scissors even round nose craft scissors, tweezers, nearly all garden products like trimmers, nail clippers, wire cutters etc I could go on forever but you get the point. The majority of these things will not be used as weapons and children will not be spending their money on hedge trimmers to commit crime or harm anyone. Ebay is losing more and more sellers in the UK due to this strange policy. Age verification delivery costs more and not all couriers do this which means sellers are again losing profit. You need to relax this policy on products that aren't weapons and make life a little easier for us instead of the constant warnings of breach of policy as pretty soon there will be nothing we can sell.

So yesterday I had a message from ebay saying 'There's an issue with your listings that requires your attention, so we've hidden them until you fix the issue. ' it didn't even have the word knife in the description and I have many of these in various styles like many hundreds being sold on here... so I altered the listing and 15 minutes later, same message... tried to contact ebay and request a call back... round and round in circles on the bot despite asking for a call back from an agent together with plenty of frustration, sent a message to ebay... still waiting for a response!
So this is the said item: Dolls House Cutlery 4 Place Set Gold Colour Dining Miniature 1:12th Scale (DH)
Yes a miniature set of cutlery for a dolls house... Seriously! Maybe the miniature dolls are planning to go on the rampage!
So not just the seller mentioned below with the action figure items suitable for 4 years plus.
Feel your frustration.... what is next?

Oooh, three in one day!
Number two is a nicely engraved bread fork with mother of pearl handle.
Number three is a mother of pearl handled pair of tweezers. Hmm, they got me there, having had a look at their 'Knives and bladed items policy' manicure kits fall under that category . . but its not really a kit, it's a pair of tweezers. Hey ho.
If you see anyone in the street with a pair of tweezers . . . run! Think of yourself only and run away from danger.

One consolation, I don't know if you do any fairs but if you do, they are helping to put the prices up on these items as they are now 'hard to find'.
