Maybe e-bay changed their rules sense last spring, but I bought several thousand 9mm and .45ACP brass this spring. I also purchased my Redding Powder Measure out of e-bay, with no problem.

If they are making it rough on people, shame on them, and I won't do any more business with the jerks.

wow and you are certain of this 100%? little devils advocate here, but gee glad i didnt fill out the questionair from the local polition about the gun control issues..

and they are starting this policy this month..

Friend works at the township building and told me! ALL Governing agencys will not accept any online petition because they are not Hand signed with addresses. And most other corperations and companys follow suit. And Ive been told its on Snopes web sight as well.
The best bet is a paper petition or individual emails sent directly from the person to the offending jerks.
Questionairs are a different thing, go ahead and fill them out.

As a publicly traded company, ebay's Board Of Destructors have a duty to their shareholders. SHOW A PROFIT. Plain and simple. While I agree that "punishing the masses for the actions of one" is a piss-poor stance for any company to take, I dont believe that ANYONE has a "right" to purchase something from/through a company that does not want to make that product/service available. That defies all the laws of supply and demand, upon which the economy of this country is built. If I can force a store to sell the beer I want, the next step is to force the store to sell the beer I want for the PRICE I want (which could cripple the store owners ability to compete, as now his supplier can charge whatever he wants for the beer). In the system in which we operate, if the local store owner doesn't want to sell the beer I want, I can't force him to, but I can purchase the beer I want from his competitor. The choice is his not mine. I know what I want, and it's my money, if he wants some of it, he'll stock what I want. If he wants to hang banners all around his store advertising that he's selling my beer, and is not, I may have a bitch, but only once (however his competitor and the beer manufacturer prolly won't let this happen for very long). If I go there looking for my beer a second time, and he's not changed his policy against selling it, then shame on me. But I would have no reason to go there again.

Damn, I'm ramblin' again............

Well then that settles it. Hell if it's on snopes it must be true. I bet you take wikipedia as gospel as well?

If you have closed you eBay account then sit back and relax as that's about all it looks like you can do.

Thanks for your support!

Kevin,

A letter writing campaign is usually of little significance to a corporation like ebay. I've written MANY letters over the years to everyone from Pepsi and Disney, to the local corporations. In almost every case, I have been asked by the corporate sling-shitt*rs to "direct my communications to the BOARD of DESTRUCTORS"

Of all the letters I've written, only once have I ever received a response.

To para-phrase it said "you're not a shareholder, but if you become one let us know................we'll talk."

now see every time i email or hand write to a corp i get a responce and usually favorable one too
