Hi, a point was made last week I believe regarding the sale of bladed items and Royal Mail’s age-verification service which is no longer available to the general public.

The response given implied that EBay business accounts could still buy age-verified postage but that simply is not true.

I am a small business that occasionally sells lawn mower blades, which under eBay’s policy require me to use age-verified shipping, however, the only way to purchase that from RM is have a business account WITH ROYAL MAIL (not eBay) and my turnover is way too low to be eligible even if I wanted to be!

So, what (if anything) are eBay doing to address the thousands of listings that state they are using RM age-verified posting (to get round the policy) but in reality have no way of doing so?

Thanks.
