[quote="mario"]Here is a more detailed error message: \"In the UK, bladed items can be sold and delivered only to customers aged 18 or older. As such, you will need to verify your age. You may also need to confirm your age upon delivery. For more details, see our https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/policies/prohibited-restricted-items/knives-policy?id=5047 Knives policy\".[/quote]
