TAC's, are they still used and what are they worth?

[SpikeG]

It depends who you are.I tried to sell a barrell and it was reported and removed in 30 minutes.In a fit of pique I reported 7 others selling the same and none of them were removed at all.

Evilbay don't know their arse from their elbow. They (used to) insist that "Silencers", which, rightly or wrongly, are prohibited on their site are not the same as moderators. When asked if I listed a silencer as a moderator could I sell it then. After a pause the numpty said "Er, yes I suppose so"

Barrels are prohibited if they are for firearms (their wording) but again they don't seem to understand an air gun is a firearm

Pellets are allowed pointed or not btw Requoil. I would create over them removing them.

The long and short of it is if you want to sell then do it on here.

Once again, thank you guys for being the voice of reason for me. The trouble is with the Bay is that you are arguing with faceless jobsworths and are unlikely to win, even if you are right! What I will say is, the messages I received were polite and courteous, but they were not for moving.

Judging by the language used in that reply, your faceless jobsworths are probably located in India (or some other outsourcing destination).

Hi Spikeg, yes, they inform me that barrels are allowed if you specify that they are for airguns, BUT, pointed pellets ARE a prohibited item, thats why they have removed my tin of 65 pointed pellets, twice now. So I went down the list and reported the first 40 lots of "pointed pellets" asking that they also be removed, but have they removed them? I think you already know the answer to that one.

I think there must be a couple of hundred ads for pointed pellets, but they are somehow different to mine!

A good few years ago a friend had a rifle that took tacs of some description.

What was the rifle? It looked like a quality center fire rifle nice walnut stock? the cartridges/ tacs were huge i seem to remember

Were they banned with the pistols?

i think you mean the orion saturn i had one they were like shotgun shells

B]BUT[/B], pointed pellets ARE a prohibited item

Is that in an email from them, as I can't find in their prohibited items list anywhere? (Unless I'm being blind )
Although if they're solid then perhaps they are classing them as bullets? (which are prohibited.)

Would be interested to know.

Hi again, I don't have a link to a list of banned items containing the "pointed pellets" but here is just one of the emails I have had in correspondence. I have highlighted the relevant sections. This early email is more related to me asking why my TAC's advert had been removed.

Fair enough but I'd be bloody awkward and ask for a direct link as to where they are specifically prohibited in their T&C (I've looked again and can't find it)
There again the "arse and elbow" comment I made before is very true, I've reported so many things over the years and rarely is anything done
