Can I sell body armor?

[moviebankusa]

Hello I'm a past owner of a military surplus shop and have done the research to selling kevlar and plated body armor online and face to face. All is legal, but one of my listings were taken down.

It was a listing for a vintage military kevlar helm. Which I see plenty of people selling.

Is the sale of kevlar vests and helms able to be sold on eBay?

I believe eBay has agreements with the state department that allows them to specify items they don't want readily available to civilians or exported for use over seas. Check the above eBay policies. I think you will find this is a common thing across platforms similar to eBay.

I am a retired surpie.  More modern body armor is just one of the mainstream surplus items that can't be sold on Ebay, or at least are problematic. Another item is gas masks and gas mask filters.  I  have had countless items removed over the years.  Best not to relist and just find a local platform to sell these items.

Really appreciate the reply brotha! 

I'll probably just keep those on local facebook garage sale groups.
