Tried to bid, ebay need to validate my age
I wanted to bid on this - Vintage ERN Crown & Sword Open / Straight Razor on eBay, also, Barber Shop Shaving, Vanity Perfume Grooming, Collectables (end time 15-Jan-09 21:26:37 GMT) - but ebay keeps telling me that I need to enter my credit card details to validate my age, but to do that I appear to need to set up a seller account, and it -then- tells me that they need to 'phone my home phone number to verify my phone number!
Why does it have to be so hard! I will pass. What a pain in the ass! I have bid on other straights without problems!

Think you will need to be 18 To get a credit card unlike a debit card!
Aaaargh! Missed a bargain?

Great! I just tried to place a snipe bid on this

Old Cut Throat Razor called the Special B by Wade & Butcher Sheffield in original embossed case. as new condition.
Bid failed because of this stupid verification and it sold for £12.50.
Why should I set up a seller's account just to prove I am over 18?
In fact I haven't used my credit cards in a looong time, I'm not sure if they are even active. (I worked out that being in debt is a mug's game.)
Grrrrrrr!!!:mad::mad: My only Consolation was that I wasn't 100% sure the razor itself was really a W&B:

It seems to be triggered by something in the listing
I listed some DE blades & it warned me about knives and blades when I confirmed the listing???
BTW I will let you know if it is a W&B blade & not just the box.:w
