Hi, bit surprised when I got this back for a penknife I was bidding on (not eligible) as i'm nearer than i'd like to being a pensioner !!!! item number 203456907585
I have long understood the case for not selling knives on e-bay especially to anyone under age, however surely being a fairly long time member plus new ebay checks to ensure users are who they say they are, should enable long term users / collectors to bid on items like this ?? i've always found it odd ! is there anything I can do to stop it happening in the future? thanks in advance. Confused Confused

It can also be due to being on a different jurisdiction from the seller, is your delivery address also in Canada ?

It's eBay that enforces these rules, not Gixen. Below is a more detailed message as received by eBay:

Dear Buyer

To prevent the circumvention of the http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/policies/weapons.html eBay.co.uk and http://pages.ebay.ie/help/policies/weapons.html eBay.ie Weapon and Knives policy, it is not possible for you to bid on, or buy this item.
