Automatic knives?

eBay rules say they're prohibited. I've seen them removed many times. Now I see modern Benchmades out the front automatics selling. Listed as Automatics. Why is eBay inconsistant about the rules?  And yes I know what an automatic knife is and I know these are.

Cops always think it's so funny when someone pulls a knife, that they shoot you pretty quickly at that.

Ebay doesn't police the site themselves. With well over one billion listings at any given time it would be impossible. Ebay depends on buyer reports. If you see something that's not allowed, report it. The link is on the top right side across from the description and shipping tabs on a desktop. Don't know where it is on mobile.


On mobile, there is a Report This Item box near the bottom of the listing.

I mean, were I in an open-carry state, and someone pulled a knife - automatic or otherwise - there is a good chance I would shoot first, and ask if they were just 'playing around' afterwards.

Not saying 'NO' doesn't mean 'YES'.

Reminds me of that scene with Indiana Jones and his saber twirling adversary.
