Where does one go to ask admin questions please?

[Synapse]

I want to know whether I am allowed to sell a Swiss Army Knife (in its box).  It's not an illegal weapon - more a multitool - and can be carried legally in the UK.

Thanks.

If you are on the app, click on "more" (on the right of the green strip at the bottom of this page).

Then click on FAQ. The page on the screenshot below comes up.

Then click on "How can I contact the forum admin".

Then click on the link which comes up (the  "contact us page")

There might be a quicker way, but that should work.

Thank you Sue.  I am not on the App but your post signalled me to the FAQs and I can contact Admin there.

Isn't it because any bladed item now needs to sold with a new set of legal conditions (age verification etc) which this forum doesn't have?

Even if there's a tool to remove stones from a horses hoof, and a tiny pair of tweezers its still got a blade.

sorry Admin and duly noted

Just to summarize my email response to the original poster:

Selling sharp bladed knives online, including utility knives, is now regulated (more info here). Age verification needs to be performed at the point of delivery.

Whether this applies to 2nd hand person-to-person sales (like selling on EDF) is a bit of a grey area. However the fact that EBay completely bans listing of knives in the UK (source) suggests that their legal expertise has decided its not allowed, so its best for us to follow suit.

So unfortunately, no Swiss Army knives for sale in the For Sale board and the rule stands.

Thank you very much for taking the time to clarify, Admin.
