Listing pulled by eBay as a breach of their policy of not selling knives... for goodness sake, it's a manicure set with a pair of tiny nail scissors and a nail file. It doesn't have a knife blade! Total madness!!!

I didn't know you couldn't sell knives on ebay.  :o

You'd think they would read the description before taking it off, just one more reason not to use ebay.
