Will the next millionaire be someone who produces custom decorative NON N95 masks? Listening to the news I would hazard a guess that facial masks and coverings will be recommended for some level of protection against virus transmission via infected droplets ... and if I know my Americans the hardware store single color paint mask just ain't gonna cut it. Like T-Shirts Americans will want to make a statement with their facial gear ... they may want the Darth Vader look or Predator or a dog's snout, big smile, or some catchy phrase or statement ...
In preparation for this eBay needs to make sure their computer bots are NOT taking down NON N95 mask listings ... if they don't they will be doing a disservice to sellers offering all different kinds of masks as well as hurting themselves with the ability to make more fees on sold items.

I have the same reservations as you do. But t unfortunately I do not have a choice in the matter come this September. I will have to make a couple of business trips, to the other side of the country later this fall in order go keep my buisness going. But I am already starting to think about how to best protect myself during these flights.
This is my most extreme consideration at this moment in time. Or at least something close to it.

Believe it or not, that outfit might not meet the airlines' criteria. Respirators like that are designed to protect the wearer from dangerous stuff that they might inhale, whereas the stated purpose of the airlines and other mask requirements is to protect others from you by blocking whatever you are breathing out.

Also, masks for drive-by prom:

It does indeed. Masks are going to become the #1 fashion commodity while at the same time creating a whole new fashion industry. I am glad to see that eBay decided to get on the bus.

Oh I get that part but my #2 concern is my own personal inhalation.
My #1 concern right now though is how do I get the contract to sell masks at every major airport.😁
