Can't buy gun related stuff on eBay...

[nf-fuse]

I don't know if anyone else is having this problem at the moment but I can't bid or bin on any item that's gun related.

Eg Kydex cheek riser
Scope rings
Scope
Etc

I get the attached message. I've had my eBay account for 20 years. It's not restricted or anything.

I've been on to eBay customer service and they are 'escalating' it apparently.

I can still bid/bin on other items fine. These items are being bid on by other people so it can't be everyone.

is this product listed in the UK or being advertised for sale in the USA ?

 

[nf-fuse]

UK items.

 

[Moose67]

any different if you turn WiFi off and use the phone data ? also, turning off any VPN

 

[nf-fuse]

No it isn't. The issue is with eBay and quite sinister.

Bought my kydex riser on eBay with no issues.

That was a few months back though

I bought a cheek riser from USA through eBay. No issues at all.

Again, that was a few months back.

My mrs is still selling shooting related leather goods on Ebay with no problem. Her last sale was this morning, to a UK buyer.

Is it possible you've somehow activated a parental control or similar

the error message looks to suggest that ebay think you are living in a country where sales are not permitted, Russia

Exactly. Very much looks like a geographical Thing

 

[nf-fuse]

I can still buy other stuff though. Stuff that only posts to the UK with no international option.

Geographic block likely.

Just try a different internet access point. E.g. no VPN, mobile access rather than home ISP, etc.

One simple web test to establish how you might look to a website is to click on:

What is my IP address? | Find my public IP address | IP.me

Use our free IP address lookup tool to find your public IP address (IPv4 through IPv6) in just one click. Find your IP address now.

ip.me

If that comes up with a non-U.K. source, there's your answer

Turn the WiFi off on your phone so you are using mobile data and try from there

EBay uk is an utter minefield , always changing the parameters

 

[nf-fuse]

None of the stuff like using/not using a VPN or using a different phone/computer/isp/WiFi/etc make the slightest difference.

How about posting a sample link on here and seeing whether SD member's get same eBay purchase block.

If other UK users are successful, perhaps audit the differences between your set up and theirs. [Browser, browser cache, operating system, isp, etc]

[I do not have an eBay account, so cannot help]

Might be your ISP applying selective blocks...
