On July 30, 2007 Matt Halprin, VP, Trust & Safety announced that ebay will add new restrictions to the "Firearms, Weapons and Knives Policy". These restrictions are on items that are legal to own / use in these great United States.

You can view Mr. Halprin's announcement at the following address.

Mr. Halprin claims that "This new update continues to encourage safety among our community members". How? The items ebay are banning are still for sale in the USA and still legal to own / use in this great country!

Will ebay motors stop allowing the listing of vehicles if another drunk driver kills someone? What happens when someone is bludgeoned to death with any of the baseball bats listed on ebay? What about the thousands of other items that could be used to cause harm to person or persons? What about the thousands of items listed that could be used to commit a crime or break the law?


I strongly urge you to sign this petition in an attempt to get ebay to rescind these new restrictions. If these restrictions are not removed then I call for an all out boycott of ebay!

Thank you for your time.
