Illegal weapons are being flogged by third-party sellers on a stream of popular online marketplaces, according to a new consumer watchdog investigation.
A probe by Which? found the dangerous items being sold on AliExpress, Amazon Marketplace, eBay and Wish.
It says its discovery demonstrates why major tech firms need to take more responsibility and carry out better checks on banned weapons which are being sold at “pocket-money” prices as low as 49p.
