* Representatives from reputable direct sale companies (such as Avon, Tupperware, Watkins) are permitted to post one (1) ad in the most appropriate Services Category of their closest Kijiji City, advertising their presence, or any new product lines or promotions that are available. Any ads in the Buy and Sell sections, or any ads attempting to recruit new representatives will be removed.

I think it should be allowed but I can also see why they don't want any liability tied to the sale of questionable items, particularly weapons.

wow ,that's a big list of banned ads.! I can see the point of many being banned , but the sale of guns ,as we know must have fac permits etc. The sale of knives seems to be a little overkill , but I suppose someone would try selling a switchblade . So, they have to be careful in case a weapon or something else restrictive ends up in the wrong hands and a law suit happens . So , if you want to sell a gun , I wouldn't post a picture and only use terms like "semi-auto Winchester, Remington , Mossberg etc.) :th_fudd:....................:ph34r:.................:ArcherySmiley:.......:santa:

I would think that since they are banned even trying to slip one past the censor wouldn't be a wise marketing idea. People wouldn't be looking for guns on Kijiji if they know they are banned. If I was looking for a gun I would be going to site I knew sold guns not one that bans their sale.
