Why does Tradera have rules regarding weapons and weapon-related items?
Weapons and many weapon-related products are regulated by law and may in some cases require a permit to be sold or possessed. Some products are also subject to transport restrictions and therefore cannot be shipped through standard shipping services.
To ensure a safe marketplace and to avoid the sale of regulated or dangerous items, Tradera has limitations on which weapons and weapon-related objects may be sold on the platform.
