I am surprised ebay let the receiver stay on there.
You would think the seller would have tried one of the other online auction sites like Gun Broker.

If someone chooses to send Ebay an email about this item they will pull it. From a technical perspective I think it is pre 1898 and is an "antique" so the sale and shipping should be legal.
EBay is hit or miss on these type of items. The still will not let a plastic empty hull be sold but will allow gun parts to be sold. Until about a year ago all barrels were banned. there is no one person in charge of what is legal what is not. If the description and title do not trip a automatic filter the item gets listed and perhaps sold.

I once questioned a guy about a modern Parker receiver he was selling on ebay. He told me no FFL was required. He needs to thank god that the Muslim socialist doesn't monitor Ebay.

Why sell that "gun" on Ebay and temp the rules? He sold that "project" gun for $500.00 plus. More than he would have gotten on any other auction site and he had a no return listing. So once paid and shipped he is done with that collection of parts.
The new owner, if handy, might repair the stock and the missing short under rib. Then he can deal with the bore pits and seeing if it is on face. If he farms the repairs out to a gunsmith he might double or triple his investment and still have a wall hanger. That is a classic example of "buying a pig in a poke".
For those who do not know a poke is a sack or bag. The pig reference was buying a "pig for eating", what is sold and perceived to be a dressed sucking pig. The sales is completed with "pig" in a closed sack without ever opening the sack to verify the contents. Later, after the deal is done, you discover the pig in question was a dog or cat dressed and sold sight unseen. The English colloquialisms means that something is sold or bought without the buyer knowing its true nature or value, especially when buying without inspecting the item beforehand. In this case I suspect the "dog or pig in a poke" will be a long term project if the buyer is not lucky.

I saw a Parker hammer gun sell on ebay in 3 different auctions (barrels, forend and back half) about a year ago. When all was said and done, the gun brought about $1k when if sold complete in its condition on GB, I doubt it would have done better than $500.

I buy and sell old Chinese firecracker packs on eBay. Sometimes [censored] buyers will notify eBay that items may be "live" to get them pulled so they can try and buy them directly at reduced prices.
