Ok guys, your not going to beleive this. I emailed Ebay explaining that the E-Mag is a paintball marker and not capable of firing metal or similar projectiles. Below is their response.

Hello Ian,

Thank you for taking the time to write to eBay UK.

In response to your email, please note that these items are not allowed
on eBay. Our policy does not state only metal, but anything similar
(that could hurt). Ebay UK has decided not to allow these items:

Firearms cannot be listed on eBay UK. Firearms include all "pre-ban,"
sporting, collectible, curio & relic (C&R), and antique firearms,
regardless of their capability to fire a shot. Any item that is designed
to propel a metal (or similar) projectile is covered by this ban,
regardless of that item's present ability to fire.

We understand your concern. We do investigate every auction that is
reported to us. However, since we do not actively monitor our site for
questionable or prohibited items, we rely on our members to report them
to us. Please note that, even if a seller is not reported to us, it
does not lessen the seriousness of the violations for those sellers
whose auctions have been reported and subsequently ended. Repeat
offences of such violations can result in the loss of ones eBay
registered status.

If you come across an auction that seems questionable, we ask that you
report it to us via the form at the following page:

http://cgi3.ebay.co.uk/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ReportInfringing

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your
cooperation.

Best wishes,

Jenny Williams

Darren, reason for sale is I am broke, have spent loads on builders, having a conservatory and the garden terraced. Gone way over budget.

So by that email they are saying that ALL paintball markers are not allowed on their site....boy are they in for a drop in biz

Plus looks like you annoyed someone, if they found your auction from a report they were sent....sounds just like a person on here who keeps telling people their prices are too high and if they bought everything they had asked about in a thread would be able to open a paintball store, can't understand some people

How is a paintball remotely similiar to a metal projectile...Hope you guys in the U.K. have some fight in ya!!

Don't understand it, I like to deal fairly and squarely all the stuff I sell is in excellent condition.

Be warned fellow ballers, if someone reports your sales you will get them cancelled.

I suggest anyone who feels this is unfair should contact

ukended@ebay.com

Jenny Williams at Customer Support.

Please make your opinions know sensibly, but I feel this is totally unfair.

Maybe it was the other guy who was trying to sell an emag
Destryoing the competition.

Ian what is the code for your enquiry. It should be in your subject line of the email she sent. If you give me that code I will write to them. I have had plenty of experience on ebay and just last week sold a paintball marker on it.
