Bladed items new restrictions...

Just need to ask if there are things being put in place to accommodate the changes? The message I got was currently only UPS provides this service and I cannot use UPS. This would mean essentially the main part of my sales will be wiped out meaning I will have to close my account and move on. I'm sure this will be sorted but it's worrying. Other services coming like EVRI and royal mail? eBay already requires me to buy the postage through them as such so I'll need services in place! I hope the costs of these services and inconvenience doesn't cripple sales as well. Then there's international sales... That will need the GSP to have an option for it no?

 

As a side note if we are getting age verification for selling now surely we can start selling actual knives with this service soon? Or surely more categories are going to be added such as antique items or vintage butchers cleavers? Thanks.

Hi
Sorry due to the simple shipping process now enforced we now no longer sell any possible “ knife or blade” items unfortunately due to the extra costs involved using Royal Mail etc and with very little difference in delivery in most cases .We tried within various listing categories but no visible option for an actual bladed item, to give age verification so gave up with just a Lawnmower blade.
