eBay UK has decided to issue a blanket ban on knives and other sharp objects except for cutlery knives (kitchen knives) due to the country's complex laws on trading and handling of knives.
I used to know a guy who sold knives, daggers, katanas, etc. on Lelong, though I am not sure if he is still doing that right now because I didn't check his trading profile, and I told him that as far as I know, it is against the terms of Pos Malaysia to ship knives and other sharp objects like his daggers and katanas.
He did not believe me and told me that he has shipped numerous packages without a problem even between West and East Malaysia. Well, I don't know, some people just think too much about the profit and nothing else.
Although I know that it's not a big deal to break Pos Malaysia's terms of use, I believe that if there is such a ruling, there must be a reason for it. As for Malaysian law, we are breaking the law if we carry a knife exceeding a certain length in public. This guy never thought what would happen if his buyers misuse the knives that they bought from him!
