Blades no longer on sale at eBay

[pjgh]

Amazon had already implemented needing to see ID before delivering.

Amazon need to confirm age when I order 0.0% beer. Nonsense.

I sent them a message that a few things from their eBay are not on their website, they then updated them.



Loads of esoteric blades will go, some great ones like the Lancet, and so on. Lesser known Treet blades have gone, it's not possible to buy the 7 Days blade now. A few days ago it was a card for a tenner.

The 7 Days blades were the ones I was most mindful of

I get most of my vintage DE blades from ebay.
I don't know if etsy will follow suit with the policy but although they have some good stuff their prices are quite high.

Wow.

I placed an order for some Treet Platinums and they cancelled my order.

I've been buying things from eBay for a while, and this has never happened.

That is why I never use them. The users see themselves as artisans (in general) and price accordingly. They will also be subject to the same laws as everyone else

What is artisan about selling razor blades?
Did they make them themselves from the finest locally produced ingredients?
I have seen a few things on there I really want but not at silly prices.

Any explanation? @donnie_arko

Nothing at all on eBay (or Amazon) ... or the Daily Mail with one of their "Britons will no longer be able to breathe" kinda stories. The link from the other forum is from April last year. Nothing happened (of note) back then. Why today?

I just ordered some Personna DE blades from La Barbiera. A fairly limited range but no postage charges if you're in the UK. They've always proved reliable when I used them in the past.

Nothing artisan....just the environment

A great seller that I’ll continue to use for a long time yet.

Nope, explanation but the payment was taken.

A very odd situation indeed.

I've sent a few messages to the fella at Big Deals Mart and they have put up a lot of blades from their eBay and included mass purchases of 200,300 and so on.

He told me eBay pulled their listings this weekend without any prior warning.

Seriously, if you see a blade which you like, buy them in mass as they might be lost to the landscape entirely or possible to buy at 4 times the price.

the bladepocalypse has begun. I knew I hoarded all those blades for a reason

Problem is......a lot of blades will just disappear. I like Treets and Indian Blades....most of which are not available from normal retailers

Didn't really think of it like that

I normally use a blade once and bin it but now this got me thinking twice lol

You know I got a sampler pack with loads of blades from razor blade club, will use each brand multiple times before binning now

Wow not looking good for us shavers

Meh! Screw eBay. Go somewhere else. That's how open markets work.
