Child Restraints that do NOT meet Australian Standards being sold on Ebay

[possums1970]

Hello,

I was just wondering who is responsible for allowing so many child restraints to be listed on Ebay, that do NOT meet the Australian Standards or they are extremely old and should be destroyed and not sold ?

These are dangerous and are potentially risking the lives of our innocent babies and children !

I have been sending messages to Ebay for a long period of time and they do not reply or care to get back to me with this very important issue !

Can anybody help with this very concerning problem please ?

Thankyou

Janelle

If you have a look on the Baby Carseats section

There are plenty that come up

They are listed as Maxi Cosi Isofix or there are also some convertible carseats as well.

I messaged one woman by the name of beautifulbriana and she was beyond rude and told me she didnt give a ____ what happens after she sells it ..... such a sad person indeed !!!

0 results found for Maxi Cosi Isofix

I had a peep at the listings for the others but too many to go through for me to understand what the problem is. There is an option to only search Australia, plenty of the maxi cosi isofix in international choice.

If the seller is an Australian Business, why haven't you contacted the ACCC?  If the seller is a private individual, they can sell whatever they want as long as it complies with eBay Policy.

even so-called ebay policy doesnt over-ride federal law on banned items

Then its simple.  Familiarise yourself with the law and report the trader:

I'd be very interested to know what advice you received from the ACCC.  I'd be great if you could let us know.

i dont have the problem another poster does, however, we would never buy a second hand baby item in the first place.  a bit like buying a second hand bike helmet hey. some fools still do.
