Never heard of the make, but how the heck did they get that up on Ebay, who have a strict 'no bows' policy?

Erron,

FYI, Ebay don't police their listings..

ie: if no one complains then they do NOTHING!

erron,

i am a regular user of ebay and have sold 2 compounds on there. in the hunting section of the sporting goods category there is usually at least one bow for sale at any one time.
look at the US ebay site and there is a whole category dedicated to archery, (with alot of good trad gear no less). so maybe whoever informed you of a no bow deal was missinformed?

tracker,

ebay do police them in a way, they have a auto search that checks your listing when you submit it. it just looks for specific words like Adult, 18+ and the like. it ts then submited for review, and either passes or is pulled. i know this because i have tried to sell some things containing adult material and 3 days later they have been pulled. Apart from that, yes it takes a complaint for a review to take place.
As for resposne to complaints... i have no experience with dispute resolution. i have %100 positive feedback.

cheers

its worth a quick look if your ever needing anything to do with hunting. theres alot of camo gear going through there most of the time. just be careful about which people you do business with. some of the really cheap stuff is often being shipped from overseas, just check the shipping details first or you could have a long wait.

Yeh, around the end of last year Ebay australia actually had an 'Archery' category in the sporing goods category. It only lasted about 3weeks then merged back into the hunting category. I've bought a couple of bows of ebay both Aus and US.
