We're reminding sellers that small high-powered magnets that are separate or loose may be subject to a permanent ban in Australia when used in certain products.
Effective since 2012, the ban aims to reduce the risk of serious injury, illness or death from these products. If swallowed, small magnets can lead to serious internal injuries and also pose a choking hazard to young children.
Banned products must not be sold on eBay. For more information, visit the ACCC website:
If any products you are seeking to sell contain magnets, you need to ensure that they are not prohibited by the ban.
Our Product safety policy provides additional guidance on important government regulations and safety standards. Please ensure that you comply with our policy when selling on eBay.
