Sorry --- Only a ( monthly statement ) Credit Card is acceptable by eBay --- nothing else will do --- an everyday use Debit Card will not be accepted.    Anyone among your family or friends who could order on your behalf ?.

Rather than being angry hit e-Bay by buying elsewhere.

They are right about there being laws about such things but are putting the most strict definition on what a "Bladed Item" is that it's possible to think of.  Besides that there are other ways they could verify your age besides a credit card, like the fact if you are under eighteen you must have joined e-Bay in utero,  but a credit card is the easiest and therefore cheapest.

No credit cards ....just checked ive been with ebay since march 2006...so that should be proof of age..or maybe not in a world where common sense has left...knives i can understand but now it seems tools aswell..i guess chain saws,circular saws..all cordless tools..wow even more dangerous..i am very angry because it was suggested here but somewhere else..the hole saws were on auction..couldnt even put a bid on...anyway if i joined in 2006 at birth that makes me at the very least 18...old enough?
