Not sure what to do with equipment

Did you list a disclaimer that it's for 10 meter use and not 11 meter use?

I doubt eBay sits and sifts thru what's being sold. As I pointed out, more often than not, it's a ham operator who decides to report what they believe to be someone selling illegal Cb gear.

I listed a Palomar 300 Elite once but didn't add the disclaimer....got pulled. I eventually sold it on Craigslist. Then later I sold a SS158EDX export on eBay. No one bothered reporting it.

 

If you look on ebay's site you will find some of these items for sale. It's how you word the listing. You need to re-list them.

 

ANY amp that is not certified is not legal to sell ....
Any radio that is both CB/HAM is not legal

The FCC has a banned list ....

Ever wonder why most HF rigs aren't on the list? It is just as easy to convert them to cover the CB/freebands as it is an "export" radio.

You will have to ask the FCC about that one...

 

So that's the town in China where the cheap radios are made?

OTH, don't you think it might have something to do with the encroachment of CBers into the ham bands that causes these hams to get PO'ed and do that? Sure, it isn't all of it, but it does have a bit to do with it! One needs to look at the totally different outlook on radio from the standpoint of the ham and his regulations as opposed to that of CB. Lots of CBers feel that all is well, and EVERYBODY should be able to to just fire up whatever kind of junky piece of radio on ANY frequency he wants, so long as it makes him "LOUD 'N PROUD". Sometimes they've snipped, clipped and turned pots so you can't understand what he's SAYING! But he's "loud & proud" alright! SHURRRRRRRRR............!

It is THESE kinds, and the attitude of "I'll talk on ALL them channels if I want to" that goes with it that gives CBers a bad rap. OTH, the amateur bands are MUCH more regulated with little tolerance for foolishness, BAD, splattering equipment, or ignoring of regulations that makes some hams mad enough to do that. Now, for me, I ain't got time to sit around on Ebay the livelong day worrying what somebody's got illegally to sell. But it DOES make the hams very MAD to spend all this time EARNING their privileges, buying or BUILDING good equipment only to hear, "BREAKER ON TH' CHANNEL" on 10 Meters. OR to hear "fuzz" in their receiver. Following it down the dial, he finds a "loud 'n proud" outlaw, all controls to the right, radio snipped and clipped, splattering not only the CB band, but everything between there and 28.600 MHZ! So, SOME will try to get even by ratting out the sellers of the illegal equipment.

There IS an admitted attraction to some people for the illicit, the illegal, that which irritates others like being wrongly atttracted to a poisonous snake! Others are straight-laced and prone to follow the letter of the law. Most hams feel that they are RIGHT in that the outlaw mentality of (some) CB is simply WRONG, and that the law is to be followed as opposed to the "wink-wink", well-it's-wrong-but.............if I don't get caught it's OK.

That explains some of it! IF the outlaws would stay OUT of the ham bands, there'd not be all this anger and "revenge" going on, and fewer hams 'ratting out' auctions.
