We were just given boxes & boxes of assorted folding pocket knives, all new. Is there anything special I need to know about selling knives on ebay? I have noticed that most auctions for knives will only ship within the US. Any age limit on selling these to? If anyone can give me some feedback I would greatly appreciate it.

This should help.... From Ebay
* The item is sold by sellers who are located * The item location is also in the United States.
Note: US sellers must offer only domestic shipping on these products, since offering global shipping will make the product available in countries where these items are prohibited.
Weapons listed on eBay U.S. must comply with the California Penal Code covering the sale of weapons. Otherwise, these items are not permitted on eBay.
Knives: Knife listings are generally permitted on eBay, with certain exceptions:
* Switchblade knives:Switchblade knives with a blade over 2 inches are not permitted on eBay. A switchblade knife is defined as any knife that resembles a pocketknife with a blade that can be released automatically or by use of a trigger. Other names for switchblades include spring-blade knife, snap-blade knife, gravity knife, and butterfly knife.
* Disguised Knives: Knives disguised to look like a harmless item are not permitted on eBay. These items include but are not limited to belt buckle knives, lipstick case knives, air gauge knives, and writing pen knives.

If it's really "common" sense, why do so few people actually have it?
