Cheers DEAN _____________________________________________________ Hello, Thank you for taking the time to write us. We know your time is valuable and we appreciate your taking a moment to express concern over this particular item. Since eBay does not possess or examine the items that are listed on our site, we are not in the best position to judge the legality or authorized nature of the item for auction. This means that we cannot remove items, such as the one you have reported. Of course there may be occasions where we do act on items such as these, but only in extreme circumstances. We truly appreciate your knowledge about these types of items, however, we often cannot remove items based on representations of third parties. The reason for this is because we can not independently verify the credentials and accuracy of the information that is provided by third parties. As a result of this, unless the item is, in our judgement, plainly prohibited by law or by our own rules, we instead rely on help from government agencies for an authoritative view on the legality of a particular auction. However, I can suggest, if you would like, you can contact the appropriate government or law enforcement agency regarding this issue. eBay has a longstanding policy of providing full cooperation with law enforcement agencies and we will gladly assist them in an investigation of unlawful conduct. Again, thank you for your report. We appreciate your help in keeping eBay a safe and reputable forum to conduct business. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
