Restricted airgun listings on eBay

Airguns are constantly being listed on the eBay UK site despite its rules on restricted items. I have already reported two listings that were for sale but although eBay has removed these two items when reported it would take hours to report each individual item.

What has allowed these items to get past the eBay rules so frequently?

With the number of listings on ebay, it is impossible for ebay to detect all restricted items.

They rely on people like you to report them.

Re: Restricted airgun listings on eBay

Searching for airguns, produces loads of pellets, but no guns.

 

Are sellers getting round the problem by using wrong categories?

 

Give number of an item you can see.

Re: Restricted airgun listings on eBay

Thank for adding to my post.  I had emails from eBay about items being offered at a reduced price for three different BB guns, I have gone back into these emails and clicked on the links but all of them are now taking me back to the We Looked Everywhere page so it seems that these items have been removed since I posted about this although at least up to 5 minutes ago this item  is still being listed 306246097380 as well as others from the same seller

That seller is In USA, 

 Rules may be different over there, they have more relaxed gun laws.
