Why was my Hearing Aid Listing Removed?

[odrasalj]

My Hearing Aid selling listing was removed by Ebay.

There are many listings for Hearing Aids on Ebay exactly the same as mine.

@odrasalj   As a fellow seller I can't say why the listing was removed.

Did you include the required disclaimer in your listing? 

• "Listings for hearing aids must include the following FDA disclaimer:
  "According to the FDA, it is in your best health interest to obtain a professional medical evaluation before purchasing a hearing aid and you are encouraged to do so before bidding on this item. If you choose to not obtain a medical evaluation before purchasing this item, I am required by law to provide to you and obtain from you a signed written waiver of the medical evaluation, and I am required to provide to you a copy of the User Instruction Brochure for a hearing aid, review the contents of that brochure with you, and afford you time to read the brochure. You must provide to me either a signed statement from a physician or a signed waiver before I will deliver this item to you. Upon your request, I will also provide to you a copy of the User Instructional Brochure for the hearing aid or the name and address of the manufacturer or distributor from whom a User Instructional Brochure for the hearing aid can be obtained."

Your listing was found, checked out and removed for violating the Medical Devices policy. The fact that other sellers are listing the same prohibited items and have not followed eBay's listing policy correctly doesn't mean you can do that too. It just means they haven't been caught yet.

Here's the part of the Medical Devices Policy you didn't follow:

• Listings for hearing aids must include the following FDA disclaimer:
  "According to the FDA, it is in your best health interest to obtain a professional medical evaluation before purchasing a hearing aid and you are encouraged to do so before bidding on this item. If you choose to not obtain a medical evaluation before purchasing this item, I am required by law to provide to you and obtain from you a signed written waiver of the medical evaluation, and I am required to provide to you a copy of the User Instruction Brochure for a hearing aid, review the contents of that brochure with you, and afford you time to read the brochure. You must provide to me either a signed statement from a physician or a signed waiver before I will deliver this item to you.
