There are plenty of other auction sites for guns so what do you need e-bay for?

As far as I know EBay has not allowed gun sales for many years.

Run With The Fox,
I believe you are confusing eBay with Facebook. eBay has never allowed gun sales, not have they allowed use of PayPal to pay for them (eBay owns PayPal).
I am, not on Facebook and never will be, but apparently they used to allow sellers to use their Facebook pages, and no longer will. They are bowing to the demands of a "concerned Moms" group who is very misinformed on their gun and gun crime statistics (think "Everytown").

Fox you sure you weren't watching the movie "Back to the future"....like was said Ebay has never allowed gun sales and a few years back banned all gun parts then later reversed their decision.
My guess is because of revenue loss they started allowing gun parts to be sold again.

Ebay allowed gun sales many years ago. Those were the days when the internet had not yet taught everybody about old guns. Many bargains were to be had. I still have a half dozen of those bargains.

I have been an eBay and PayPal user from 1998, and I do believe in the early years, eBay did let you list guns for sale. It was I believe after one of the mass school shootings that they then stopped it.
Also as Bill stated, eBay sold PayPal.

eBay is a good resource for gun parts. You may not be able to buy guns, but you sure can get close with getting all the parts for one. I put together a nice Winchester 69A and several custom muzzleloaders and a flintlock for our primitive deer season all with parts from eBay.

Bill Schodlatz,
Yes, I forgot PayPal was split out as a separate company. As others have said, eBay is a great place for gun PARTS...maybe even the best place for some of the hardest to find gun sights.
On another matter, while I understand the right of a merchant to decide not to allow selling of a certain kind of product, I which someone would challenge PayPal legally for refusing to transact such. Because if buying and selling guns is legal, and U.S. currency is legal for "all debts public and private," and PayPal transactions are denominated in U.S. currency...then maybe they can't be allowed to discriminate.
They are, after all, not the venue for the purchase...just the transaction mechanism. So if PayPal can say no, then what are we to do if JP Morgan or Bank of America suddenly say they won't process a check written for a gun purchase, or won't allow use of a debit card for it?
It's bad enough that social networks and ISP's think they can officiate what is and isn't acceptable free speech. How far are we before we're at a watershed moment where corporate entities "policies" trump the "Rights" of the citizenry? Heck, maybe we're already there.
