How can your Listings breach their policy?
List a badge or ID which isn't allowed on Feebay. Genuine or fake badges and identification cards for the police, fire brigade, ambulance services, and private or public security services may not be listed on Feebay.
Items that aren't allowed include (but aren't limited to):
- Current or recent police/emergency services badges
- Military and international equivalents (i.e., Interpol) What!!!
- Replica and fake badges
- Badges issued by private security companies
So why are they pulling perfectly legitimate UK Military Badges which have nothing what soever to do with Law Enforcement?
Is this a sign of meltdown on the Darkside of Feebay?
When I have been trading in old and new badges for over 6 years on their site, with very little problem until recently.
No rational explaination from them just threats to ex-communicate you if you do it again, is that anyway to treat honest hardworking sellers, farewell Feebay!!!:mad:

Thank you for contacting us regarding your concern about military
badges. I understand your unhappiness for the issue.
Please note that military items are considered as an governmental items which are taken in one of our policy i.e. Law Enforcement Items. At the request of military and government bodies we are obliged to remove all the items which are connected to them with the only exception of being obsolete. None of our rules are changed with few amendments as updated from government which is our basis to remove the items on FeeBay. So, we do not need any proof from your side as we are being updated regularly form both military and government bodies and simultaneously we update you.
If you still want to list such items I suggest you to read our policy

So why are Feebay still allowing listings of Current Military Badges/Uniforms whether they be Military or Police?
Since when did Her Majesty's Forces (RN/ARMY & RAF) become Law Enforcement/Police Units's?
Can anyone advise us who in Her Majesty's Government we need to contact to get to the bottom of this situation, because dealing with Feebay's Policy Department is like dealing with a bad Dentist, one visit and you don't want to repeat the performance/situation.:mad::(:confused:
