Ebay. No Glass But Wood etc...OK

I posted a glass piece up on Ebay for sale, and a couple hours later, a lady calls me telling me they are deleting the ad. I went home to check my email, in which they included their policy. It's ok to sell a pipe there, as long as it isn't glass. WTF. Below, is a snip from the email reflecting the publicly available policy, and my reply to that email.


Ebay policy is as follows.............. Although this item may be collectible due to the uniqueness of its design, the DEA considers pipes made of certain materials to be drug paraphernalia and we therefore do not allow them to be sold on the site. We do allow the sale of pipes if they are made of wood, ceramic or stone, as long as the listings do not contain any description of how the pipe can be used illegally.


MY REPLY AS FOLLOWS............Your policy assumes that both the buyer and seller, both clients of yours, are in no uncertain terms, criminals. Gee, thanks. The better assumption can be made however, or verification provided to you, that I live in a state where medication has been made legal, no laws are broken, yet you are helping to deny people their medicine and the tools that they need to both prepare and use it, again withing the laws of their state. There is no law to base this policy on, only an opinion given by an office that has no legal authority, and is not only against the constitution, but the laws of the states whose people have voted. Those rights are protected under the Tenth Amendment

Thoughts?

Seems like if its their policy its theirs.

No way around it.

You saying you live in a medical state does nothing but worsen the situation sadly.

As ebay does not have to go off of what your state laws are, they can just go off of federal laws. Also the person who reads your email can be a real A-hole on pot and could just delete it or ban your ebay account for being a A-hole.

Idk my 2 pennies

I dont care if they ban me. Customer feedback.

Wow - tough to get anyone on the phone at eBay. You've found an easy way and they call you! Thanks.

Im not posting the ebay link here.

I see several marble and ceramic pipes for sale. All listings have the word tobacco in them...maybe that's the key.

I've had ebay remove listings but never a phone call. Just an email and the listing is gone. Medical stuff...not ganja related.
JD

edit: hell, even water pipes and screens...but all have the word tobacco in the listing. Some very cool pipes listed...
