Well due to some ridiculous rules and policies .com.au i cant list my items which has put me in a pretty bad spot financailly. However it's completely allowed on .com (US). So hoping to partner in with a relative from overseas.
I've got some pretty bad news for you, I'm afraid. If we're talking about e-cigarettes or "personal vaporisers" then I can tell you that they are absolutely and unequivocally NOT allowed to be sold on any eBay site, regardless of its location. If you look at the list of banned items on the Australian site, it mirrors that of the US (and all other) sites as well. In fact, the explanation which disallows the listing of e-cigarettes makes direct reference to the FDA which is the US Food & Drug Administration, who have no jurisdiction in Australia.
I've already received one MC036 and a 1 day selling suspension for listing e-cigarettes locally so I looked into it and I've argued the point with Trust & Safety and informed them that we're governed by the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) and they told me that if I could provide written permission from the TGA, then they would allow me to list e-cigarettes on the AU site, knowing full well that such permission would not be forthcoming.
I also pointed out that there are at present literally thousands of listing for e-cigarettes on the AU site and I was simply told that they're slowly getting around to all of them and removing all current listings, and that if I tried listing mine again, I'd receive a lot more than just a 1 day suspension next time. They are not allowed on Gumtree either, but I did notice quite a few listings for them on Quicksales, which being Australian owned, is probably why they're allowing listings for e-cigarettes to continue.
