Ebay Enforcing ITAR
I have always been able, in the past, to order military vehicle parts from ebay.com and have the parts delivered to a US border company and bring the parts back myself. But as I attempt some new orders right now, ebay blocks me at either the "buy it now" stage, at the "commit to buy " stage, or else the "pay now" stage. It doesn't even matter if the parts are newly made by aftermarket companies....bidding is blocked.
Not sure if this is going to apply to older military vehicle parts (I am trying to buy for a HMMWV) but since many sellers will list multiple vehicles ranging from M38s up to HMMWV, I think this is going to be a problem.
Supposedly Donald Trump is going to lift a lot of the ITAR controls on Canadians, but we have to see if he lasts long enough to do it.
Man, is this frustrating. I was just able to place an order a couple weeks ago and no problem.
