Live animals prohibition policy...

[tinyfishes567]

Hi all!

I was one of the people selling aquarium snails on here and a month ago received an email from eBay that stated that live animals (explicitly mentioning snails) will be prohibited from 17th of March, and that I need to take down my listings with snails in them.

I have now "ended" all my snail listings and they are in my "ended" list.

Am I correct to assume that is all I needed to do?

Or do I need to "delete" them from the "ended" list too?

Only asking this as this very policy was completely reversed for US sellers, and the same might happen in the UK (or one can hope). If that was to happen, I could relist them from "ended" while keeping all the stats.

Before these policies have been randomly put in place a lot of people relied on these sales for income! We have a right to be outraged. Why are you commenting if it clearly doesn't effect you?

Any ideas for alternatives?

Can always try the band app. Or like i have done get yourself a web site.

Well said. Like you say this has been a big problem for a lot of people who rely on ebay for a business or side hustle. Was hoping it would be overturned like in the states but it hasn’t.

How come there's still lots of the listings up?

Because eBay are only removing ones that are reported and sellers are taking no responsibility for their policy breaching listings by removing them themselves.
