Weapons-related items

There are restrictions on which weapons and weapon-related items are allowed to be sold on Tradera. Many items related to weapons are prohibited from being sold.

Why do we have this rule?

Because the trade in weapons and weapon-related items is heavily regulated, or may harm Tradera and its members, there are restrictions on how these can be sold on Tradera. Weapon-related items advertised on Tradera must comply with applicable legislation on the sale of weapons. If the applicable laws, which may be updated from time to time, are stricter than Tradera's policies regarding the sale of weapons and weapon-related items, the legislation always takes precedence over our policy.
