After getting back into collecting bayonets (smle 1907 all makes ,types etc) i was just in time to put a last minute bid on ebay, for a Vickers 1907, i was told i cant because of their knife policy i didnt get the full message as i tried again to bid but didnt have enough time.
After calling ebay this morning and explained that i had bought some bayonets in the last few weeks with no probs.
It turned out the listing category mentioned knives, edged weapons are ok but knives you need to prove your ID this i would say was the message i had received when i tried to confirm my bid, i was gutted, the bayonet had a mint blade it had the wrong scabbard but went for £66 i am still in tears....
For any one in the UK make sure the category does not have KNIVES in, if it does be sure to bid early gives you a chance to confirm your age, dont make the same mistake i made.
