·4 years agoThose other sellers haven't been caught yet, however you have been. It's like when you're driving and see everyone else speed, so you speed and get pulled over and are issued a ticket. You just happened to be caught breaking the rules. Not everyone will be caught.

·4 years agoAre you talking about Bubble Lights? That isn't water. Bubble Lights don't get hot enough to boil water and make it bubble. Methylene chloride used in all the old Bubble Lights and is still used by some manufacturers of them. Methylene chloride is poisonous if inhaled, swallowed, or if it gets on your skin.
If you don't believe me, read this:

or dozens more like those two.
Do I think they should be banned? Frankly, no. The world cannot be made risk-free. But I can imagine that eBay would ban them, nevertheless.

·2 years agoI know you posted this a year ago but you should repost it with the links I found them very interesting
I recently listed a set in the box and of course ebay pulled them
after 3 phone calls to ebay for an explaination I finally got a person that directed me to the community ( I probably haven't been here 5 times in 25 years)
Your post was the most helpful and ebay should send your links to each and every person who has a listing pulled
Thank you and now I will stop calling ebay over this listing
