Selling collectible items (alcohol)

[madebyearth]

Hi,

I just received an email that eBay have removed my item due to it being a full can of alcohol.

I have sold these before, with no problems.
In fact previous times I have researched on eBay and found that as the item is collectible it was ok to list and sell.

I am selling a Sydney Swans 2005 AFL Premiership limited edition can.
It is full of beer (unopened) but is 7 years old and well past it's use by date.

Have eBay policies changed, or have the got this one wrong (ie it can be sold as a collectible item)

Thanks
Martin

Too hard so I'm bot going to bother.

Silly policies/ laws for a nanny state if you ask me, but this is what society has become I guess...

If the can is collectible, and the alcohol is out of date.. Can't you just empty it and sell the can? Surely it's the can that's collectible and not the alcohol

My recent ebay experience is with a $2000 bottle of Rare Scots Whisky

They actually had the gall to suggest that I decant the contents and resell the

Empty bottles ???

You may need to post by signed mail or have some age test or something so a minor can not buy it.

As to the 18+ thing , how many 18+ would be able to afford a bottle of Whisky valued at Over $2000 ??

This thread is 4 YEARS OLD.

Unless you have a Liquor Licence you cannot sell alcohol on ebay...or anywhere else for that matter.

If I was buying a $2000 bottle of Scotch I wouldn't be buying it through eBay. or anywhere else online. And I'd be especially concerned if the seller couldn't even spell Scotch.

There are reputable auction houses that handle such items. Mind you, they require proof of authenticity.

Might be four years old but you still replied !.People looking for help not criticisms

Try graysonline I'm sure they will sell for you no problems at all . Seeing as Ebay are just W*****.

5 years now. I would stake a bet and say the ones with issues selling plonk have probably sorted it out by now.......or drank it. Probably mixed with coke.

Your purpose for dragging up a dead thread was? You do know you can't mention other selling venues on here don't you? Violation of forum rules. Might pay for you to read up on them.
