In accordance with government regulations and international laws, certain imitation firearms can't be sold on eBay.
What is the policy?
Replica, toys, prop guns or other imitation firearms can be sold as long as they follow these rules:
- The seller follows all applicable government regulations
- The item has a blaze orange barrel plug permanently attached
- The picture shows the actual item for sale
- The item description has the following disclaimer: "This replica gun contains the colored markings required by law, including a permanently attached orange plug."
- Replica firearm parts and accessories that are intended for assault weapon models are not allowed due to potential cross-functionality with real assault weapons, for example, a foregrip for a softair rifle, as this part might also be attached to a real weapon of this type
Activity on eBay is required to follow this policy, the eBay User Agreement and all applicable laws, as well as respect the rights of third parties. If it doesn’t, eBay may take action consistent with applicable laws and the eBay User Agreement, and may even be legally required to do so. Such actions may include, as an example only: Removing the listing or other content, issuing a warning, restricting activity or account suspension.
