• It is an offence for a person under the age of 18 to purchase or hire an air weapon or ammunition for an air weapon.• It is an offence to sell, let on hire or make a gift of an air weapon or ammunition for an air weapon to a person under the age of 18.
As you have no guarantee that the buyer is over 18 , you and all the other sellers on ebay are probably committing an offence .

Not sure about this as ebay policy says you need to be 18 to have an account. Not sure if there would need to be age verification as part of the delivery process though - same as when buying booze or knives online....

I thought ebay UK didnt allow the sale of knives either? I bought a kitchen knife from Japan on ebay and it wouldnt let me buy it. Thankfully the seller knew the problem and changed the listing to "kitchen utensil" and it allowed me to buy it.
