Interesting item on ebay
Hello,
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Empty-bottle-1kg-label-Aluminium-p...
Do you think perhaps they would fleece you by replacing all that lovely air that would be in the empty bottle with something else (like Al?)
There's another here
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Empty-bag-Potassium-Nitrate-L-K-/1...
Seems to be the way to get around restrictions.

The feedback ratings (and pictures) suggest that there is indeed something in the packages. Not sure what they are hoping to accomplish by such a
dodge, though; delay detection and repercussions by a few months or a few sales? It's not like they can plausibly claim a busy trade in empty packages
once someone actually looks into their affairs.

Maybe in England where the seller is, they restrict Al and KNO3?

I've read the rules at ebay and I have never seen the rule that says that you cannot buy chemicals because they can be used in pyrotecnics. The only
rules of concern to sellers is the ORD-M rules.

He, and and number of others, were selling aluminium powder and nitrates for a long time before. I have bought aluminium powder from one of them and
it used to be listed as the powder with a picture.
It recently disappeared. I am guessing because it was too easy for kids to make thermite, flash powders and other explosives with it.
It seemed to disappear around the same time as the bomb in Norway.
This is the UK site yes.
There are also restrictions against components used in known prescription medicines. E.g. hydroquinone.
