So i have been asked to sell a range of 7 birds, owls, pheasants etc and also 1 squirrel. All around 100 years old- however without any documentation/ paper work
OK so i have looked into eBay and the T&Cs state
Source - http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/policies/wildlife.html
But... there are many listings on eBay selling the exact same as me even bears and DOGS!!!
So i could list the items and risk getting reported and therefor banned or sell elsewhere however i am really struggling...
Any thoughts or advice?
Thanks Chris

Stuffed birds
eBay urges its sellers and buyers to comply with all laws and regulations. Since the sale of migratory birds is in most cases prohibited, sellers are restricted in their listing of them on eBay. All native UK birds, along with their nests and eggs, are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Similar provisions are to be found in Irish law under the Wildlife Acts, 1976-2000. Many rare native and non-native bird species are also protected under the EU Wildlife Trade Regulations.
Allowed - Stuffed domestic farm birds like chickens or ducks
Restricted - No native birds may be listed on eBay unless members can produce documentary evidence confirming that they have not been taken from the wild illegally, and this evidence is included in the listing. A list of native bird species can be found on the British Ornithologists' Union's website.
No bird species listed on Annex A of the EU Wildlife Trade Regulations may be listed on eBay unless accompanied by an Article 10 certificate issued by the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), or the Irish Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. Read more about the species on the Annexes
Not allowed - Any eggs from wild birds cannot be sold, regardless of age or condition.
