Regulators allowed to directly remove dangerous eBay listings
Tom BurtonGovernment editor
Online marketplace eBay is allowing trusted Australian regulators to directly take down listings from its online market where regulators have evidence of a risk to consumer safety.
These include novelty cigarette lighters, mini jelly cups containing konjac, chewing tobacco and snuffs, yo-yo water balls and tinted headlight covers as well as goods that do not comply with Australian safety standards such as folding cots, hot water bottles, bean bags and quad bikes.
