Listing Airbags

Question

Hello guys! I wanted to ask about listing on eBay.. I do not have a license to ship them, but was wondering if I could just list them for local pick up only? I'm scared that if I do list one that eBay would or will restrict my account. I just part out many cars and the airbags never get bought through Facebook marketplace. So please let me know thanks!

Hi @partsforsale-12 in general you cannot list them on eBay without being an approved seller. Per eBay policy:

https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/prohibited-restricted-items/vehicle-parts-accessories-policy?id=4293Airbags and their parts or accessories may only be sold by approved sellers under the following conditions:

Airbag listings must include the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of the donor vehicleâ€‹
Only used airbags that have never been deployed are allowed
Must not be part of an equipment recall. Sellers are responsible for proactively maintaining their inventory to remove any recalled items
Must be shipped in accordance with applicable regulations using hazmat shipping and a carrier other than the US Postal Service
Must include the following statement in listing descriptions: "I certify this airbag is not subject to recall and will be shipped in accordance with hazmat shipping requirements"
Sellers must maintain Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA) Certification
