Grrr prohibited medical accessories that (don't) need a prescription

Recently listed cpap accessories that do not require a prescription, and then Ebay says, oops, you can't list these (although hundreds of other sellers have) because they require a prescription. Except they don't. My question is, why have *categories...

0% feedback after lengthy absence

I haven't bought or sold anything on Ebay in at least 10 years. I have a few things I want to list but since it's been so long my feedback reset to 0%, although it does show in parentheses the number of transactions done in the past before I went on ...

How do people make money after the Final Sale fee?

Selling adult items

I'm trying to list some adult men's magazines from the 90s. Some are Playboy but there are others as well. I get a message stating that these magazines are restricted and cannot be posted but I see other postings for the exact same magazines on Ebay.

Blocking sanctioned individuals or individuals on the terrorist watch lists

I had an order several years ago who purchased from me in USA and he was in Ireland. I was paid, shipped the item out then several weeks later or so it came back and as I recall it said blocked person or something written on the package. So I was out...
