Handicapped Parking Placards

[glassworx]

Can someone please tell me why, ebay is allowing handicapped parking placards to be sold? It is a CRIMINAL ACT across ALL 50 states to posses or use one of these, that was not issued to you. The ONLY use someone could have for one, is to commit fraud, period. Basically, ebay is an accessory to a crime, every time one sells. I get so tired of corporations ACTING like they care, and then KNOWINGLY engaging in completely unethical and immoral actions.

all of what I can see are holders/plastic sleeves for hanging.........

I see 1 expired pass and the rest of the listing seem to be for holders.

I think all your indignation is misplaced, I dont see any either, just plastic holders.

I agree - the sale and use of such is illegal. But like the others, I only see holders, not the placecard itself.  If you do see an ad which really is selling these, please use the report link in the ad to officially bring it to eBay's attention. Although some pictures seem to be a bit misleading IMO. Woe be unto the one who buys and tries to display/use a fraudulent card.  Thanks for being a 'consumer watchdog' here and a passionate advocate supporting those of us who are handicapped.  I wish you well.

Reporting listings doesn't do anything. If there are illegal goods on the site contacting the appropriate authorities or company involved in theory will get more results.

Is that why Nike told our eBay buyer who received fake Nike Shox to take a hike?

Then you're NOT looking closely enough and spotting the scam. "Holder WITH PLACARD" is there repeatedly, just not obviously

[glassworx]

Look CLOSER and spot the scam

[glassworx]

Look closer, spot the scam. Been on ebay since 1998, I know what I'm saying

I only saw ONE, and it's a generic card where you have to write in all of the info like plate # and PERMIT #.

I agree, I saw one that said something like "you get everything you see"....implying buyers would get the "permit" itself, I suppose........  the rest showed outdated permits and mentioned nothing on that order.......

Sadly, there are a lot of things on eBay that shouldn't be sold. Keep in mind that eBay has millions of items listed and they rely on AI (computer software) to catch such listings (unless someone reports them, which means they have to get to it). There is no way they have the manpower to actually check listings every day. Especially if the listing is specifically vague or meant to confuse AI.
It's upsetting, but on a site of such magnitude it is to be expected. Criminals always figure a new way to do things...

How about over 1.5 billion listings worldwide?

I stand corrected 😉
