New Live Animal Policy Update

Dear Seller,

We are writing to inform you of an important update to our selling policies concerning live animals on eBay that directly impacts your current listings.

As part of our commitment to ensuring a safe and responsible marketplace, and in compliance with regulatory guidelines, eBay has decided to limit the types of live animals that can be listed and sold on our platform. This change will be implemented 30 days after the receipt of this email, and we kindly request your cooperation in complying with this new policy.

The following insects and animals are allowed, including:

  • Bees
  • Feeder insects such as crickets, Dubia roaches, earthworms, and mealworms
  • Ladybugs
  • Hatching eggs provided that they aren't from migratory birds or endangered species and the seller provides domestic-only shipping.

Please review your current listings and remove any that don’t comply with our updated policy.

Thank you for your understanding and for selling on eBay. We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and your cooperation in maintaining the integrity and safety of our marketplace.

Regards,
eBay Customer Support Team

How are you all handling the new policy on Ebay? We are live fish sellers and this new policy will completely shut us down.

New Live Animal Policy Update

You may want to ask this on a section of these forums more geared towards discussion, as in this forum only designated volunteers can respond to you.  That said, I imagine your customers will be looking for other venues once those are no longer available on eBay, so you probably can find success selling them somewhere else (I am not familiar with what other options exist as a marketplace for live fish, though).
