Question for epay sellers

[04mustang]

Hi,
I've been trying to list my hmmwv for sale on the popular auction site and keep getting a message. The message is below. I've done everything its suggested but still cant list it. Even if I directly copy other hmmwv listings from the same site I still cant list it. Has anyone else ran into this issue with hmmwv's and if so what did you do?
Thanks,
Corey

It looks like there's a problem with this listing.

• The item that you tried to list can only be sold on the U.S. eBay website (eBay.com) by sellers located in the United States.
  Please edit your listing to offer shipping to the United States only and take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with our firearms, weapons and knives and International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) Part 121 to ensure your listing complies with applicable laws.
  Thanks

I guess NC. is not in the USA.

Try offering it for sale only in the US like the message says or maybe even contacting someone selling one and ask how they did it.

My first time listing one was a complete pain. I finally had to contact Ebay because of the exact message you are getting, and it was because I was using the term HMMWV or M998 in the title. Can't remember which one. But once I removed that from the title with the tech on the phone with me, it worked.

Make sure your on the US eBay site....I once had a similar issue as I was trying to list an item on eBay UK.

You might have to add 11 zero's or all one's in front of your vin, fleebay will not recognize the 6 digit Vin as a valid vin, only 17 digits are allowed

I'd contact ebay to get the correct answer.

I've never received the wrong answer directly from them.

That was it, stupid algorithm.

Figured. I bashed my head against the wall trying to solve the issue. And in the end has nothing to do with shipping methods or anything like that.

Glad you go it listed.

So, if you can't have HMMWV in the title, and I search for HMMWV, am I going to see it?

 

[Bocephus]

I believe you can have word in the item description, so if you "include description" in your ebay searches, and he has it there, yes you will.

I also believe it has to do with category as well. Because you will see plenty of items with "HMMWV" in the title. Makes no sense to me.

So what is the listing number?
Where is the pictures for the General?
Not on here, just send me a PM.

 

[Suprman]

I usualy list them as am general m998 humvee military truck. People can find it like that.

I'm not sure I'd list the full VIN number anywhere online for securities sake. Does Ebay require it?

I see it all the time. I sometimes wonder why folks blur out license plates in pics. I can go look at your vehicle in a parking lot and get the VIN and tag number.

I wonder that same thing, haha. I see so many people list stuff for sale blurring out their plate, yet you drive around in public with it all day long. What is someone going to do with my plate number or vin?

I've always wondered this............. you can google a license plate and it won't come back with anything.
