I have tried many times to list this stupid paint ball gun and it keeps getting kicked by ebay.

My title is this: Eradicator Brass Eagle Paint Ball Gun

I see other people listing those. I have tried all different ways but can't get it to launch.

Thanks for any help.

Don't keep relisting until you know what's wrong or you may get slapped around a bit.

Does the gun fit the following criteria?


"Permitted

* Paintball guns, "airsoft" guns*, pellet guns, replica, "look-alike," and imitation firearms under certain circumstances. These items:

* Must have clear markings permanently affixed to them (commonly blaze orange markings on the barrel or a blaze orange plug inserted into the barrel)

* Must not be readily convertible to shoot a lethal projectile

* Must be located in the U.S.; and

* The seller must be located in the U.S."

Stupid question because it probably doesn't matter but did you try "paintball" as one word instead of two?

It never lists it just bouces back error the message is below.

"Error 240: The item cannot be listed or modified.

* The item cannot be listed or modified. The title and/or description may contain improper words, or the listing or seller may be in violation of eBay policy."

I tried combining the Paint<-Ball. I tried taking out the brand. I even tried taking out Paypal. I don't want to take out Gun.

I am not in any kind of violations with ebay. Other sellers have sold this in the past with almost the same words.

Since many firearm-related items, gun parts, gun accessories, paintball equipment and accessories, stun guns, crossbows, airsoft equipment and accessories, hand weapons and throwing knives are not permitted on eBay, sellers must carefully review the ‘Some Examples’ section below before listing these items and adhere to all the policies outlined.

Probably not permitted.

A couple of times when that's happened it wasn't the title that was the problem; it was something in my description. Take a good look there.

And, when in doubt, wait a week and try again. Maybe the 14-year-olds minding the store will be at a paint-ball party or sniffing something.

Try taking out the word "gun", and see if that works. You can alway update the title after you list it.

over 4700 listings came up in search for "paintball gun"
best friend sold one a few months ago ~ only problem was selling the cannisters as they are explosive ~ could be something in the description that is kicking you out ~ the title you posted is listed a few times so it has to be in your wording somewhere else ~ maybe the category you are trying to list it in???
keep us posted
