Reading AuctionBytes: Online Auction Site eBid Bans Collectible Swords & Knives

The eBid online auction site has removed the "Collectables > Swords & Knives" category: "After reviewing the effectiveness of our keyword alert system for dangerous knives and bladed weapons it has been decided that this will be a never ending cat and mouse game with the sellers of these items. The sale of all knives, swords and machetes is now not permitted on eBid."
