Why is Ebay allowing the sale of plastic straws from hundreds of sellers ? It's illegal to sell them

[luminousdon]

Plastic sraws are now banned from sale in the UK because of the widespread pollution and injury and death to wildlife they cause. Ebay seems not to give a fig, and allows hundreds of sellers to continue to sell them.

It isn't 100% illegal to use them as diabetics and some others do need them.

But these have to be requested from a registered pharmacy. 

But as you rightly point out it is against the law to sell single use stirrers, plastic cotton buds and plastic straws.
