@stupidbird needs to be delisted from Poal. He contains leaded solder.

We have desolder technology. We can unbuild him. It will however cost 6 million.

Funny never realized the six million dollar man was 6,000,000 till now.

Give him a break, we all inhaled some of that good stuff. No worries, it gets absorbed by the Asbestos.

He can stay if he is converted to RoHS compliant lead-free solder. He must be trans-soldered in order to comply with safety policies.

I'm sure he'll love the idea, it shows we care. Speaking of, let's not forget about REACH compliant flux.

Sir or madam as the case may be,

You may take RoHS and kindly shove it up your ass until it comes out of your nose.

I beg to remain, Your personal watchbird, Stupidbird.

I really don't get this. There are plenty of vendors on ebay selling solder of all ages. I've bought a lot there over the years, and just bought some.

For me, I don't care if that roll of Multicore is 20 years old. I understand that it's no longer traceable and it's expired - but for a hobby guy it's still just dandy. And it's usually cheap.

It's probably an ID10T issue on jewbay's side.

From comments:

Its not just solder. eBay has (had?) an international shipping program where they'd confiscate/divert anything deemed "hazardous", refund the buyers, and then have a 3rd party re-auction it to domestic-only buyers.... they'd confiscate anything with vacuum tubes under the assumption they're all full of mercury (they're not, only certain tubes- maybe less than 1% of them do).

Another one:

It's probably lead based solder that's the issue .... I buy all my solder from ebay and my Rosin to, several different types of each one, so it's NOT as if solder is just banned

ugh. At least I'm still free to buy and eat the stuff here.
