    Another sad day for the Automag

    Well, not so much a sad day...more like a sign of the times.

    Ebay no longer has an Automags category....

    It used to be: Sporting Goods > Paintball > Markers > Automags

    Now there is only: Sporting Goods > Paintball > Markers > Other

    Kinda sad AND kinda stupid considering there are still specific marker categories for Diablo (0 items), BT (0 items), 32 Degrees (1 item), and several others that have far fewer items than the Automags category used to have. I hate to see one of the most prolific and revolutionary marker platforms in the history of paintball be lumped in with "other".

    Maybe I'm making too much out of this, but I used to love finding great deals in that category from people who would use "Auto Mag", "68Automag", "Mag", etc.. in their listing titles instead of "Automag".

    At least there is still a specific category for Automag barrels...

      Its easier to sell a mag on AO or another PB forum and not have to pay the Ebay fees. Mag owners are smart.

        At least you have the sections we don't have any as the sale of markers is banned on my ebay, though parts and equipment are allowed.

            *Assuming this was directed at my reply*. Don't take this the wrong way but I wouldn't. I don't need another one nor do I need any parts. www.ebay.co.uk has banned all replica weapons, which they have decided paintball markers falls under. So anyone who lists a marker (of any make) soon gets the auction pulled. I have yet to see a barrel listed with a free what it screws into though I am sure it has been tried.

            *If the quote was directed at the thread starter* Yes, I agree search would work well enough.

                it was meant to be for the thread starter, i read your post and understand that you cant use ebay to buy or sell paintball markers, and is it like that throughout europe or just in the UK?

                      noooooooo, this is an outrage! an insult! (relatively)

                      how does it hurt them to keep the mag category? especially when there are 0 in other categories like you said... blasphemy.

                        Why doesn't someone email eBay and explain this to them in a professional mannor and maybe we will have an explanation from them...

                          professional mannor is by no means our style
                          and besides i think that in the back of all mag owners minds they enjoy being the odd man out that people think is shooting some kind of old shocker.

                            I would rather purchase from pbnation or here.

                            I honestly never used the differnet sections, I'd just search for "Automag" or something like that, but it would always come back with the crappy spoof auctions of

                            and the like.

                            I hate ebay for that reason, however selling I always liked to use the correct category.

                              So report them for improper use of keywords, it is grounds for the ad being removed at the very least and the user getting kicked from ebay if they keep doing it.

                              Just the UK, you have to remember that the Gun Laws for real weapons in the UK are rather restrictive where as in Europe it isn't so much of an issue.
