I guess we can add them to the financially addicted. Despite their own policy, they didn't worry about it as long they were making money and not being threatened by a government official.

To be fair eBay has had that policy for many years I know that they have a designated list under vaping supplies however they're not supposed to if you do a deeper search you will still find some things I think that they just went through and cracked down on it because of the phony vaping scare
Selling vape on ebay.com (USA) has been prohibited for many years now. But ebay filters don't catch everyone and everything. They are probably just getting more serious about it now.
Amazon got pretty serious about it 3 years ago, they really put the smackdown on vape sellers. You might still find some, but not much and any listings you do find won;t be there for long. the more popular it is the shorter it will last. They seem to let certain accessories like vape bands and mod covers/decals go, though.
All the same, marketplaces are a terrible place to buy vape gear for so many reasons.
Ebay filters did not catch it because there were none in place. They created multiple e-cig/vaping categories on their site and also paid for advertising of those specific categories on Google. The amount of vaping hardware that was on ebay before this crackdown was overwhelming... I felt like a fat kid in a candy store every time I went there.
Found the cheap MT3 coil heads I've been relying on ebay for at wish.com

I was very fortunate buying vape gear on EBay. I validated on each item that was listed as Authentic and never came up with a dud. I bought some really nice stuff from there. I made a point of asking the Seller several times if the item was authentic so there would be a paper trail confirming I was buying the real deal and not a clone item.
The one and only time I bought something that wasn’t exactly as described was easy to return and get a refund.

OMG the prices on that site are crazy! Waaaay overpriced. I suppose if I searched hard and long enough I might find a decent price for some gear but I doubt I’ll be purchasing anything from there in the future lol!

Wow! Other than the Provari, all of those prices are crazy high, the hardware/coils are like double what they are elsewhere (juice prices are even worse, like 300-400% more)... And they hardly have anything at all for sale. Do you seriously use that site? Or do you own it and are trying to promote it? I am thinking it's the latter. lolForget eBay i use scam-site.com and for now its free to use

yes Yes I got sick and tired selling dealing with eBay and restrictions my sales were around $12,000 per month and within three months eBay said f***of so I decided to make my own site my rules, and i can sell whatever I want to whoever I want
So you admit you are a vendor promoting your own site. This is not allowed.
I never understood Wish. Every time I go there to check out a link someone posted, I can't use the site because I get an overlay requiring me to log in. No option to close it.
Why do I have to log in just to brows things? Or am I doing something wrong?
If you're doing something wrong, I'm also doing it wrong. I did once decide to go ahead and make an account and I found that they were constantly spamming me. Basically, I feel like their first little peek that they show you of products entices you.. Especially when you have no earthly idea what the hell that thing is. Then it demands that you make an account. You can't just look through stuff. If somebody does know of a way I would be interested to know.I never understood Wish.

I did a little research on google about wish.com and it appears that's how they work. You have to log in to do anything. Requiring people to log in just to "window shop" is ludicrous. Would love to know how many sales they lost over that stupid rule.
This dude completely lost it... Not sure who would do business with him
I used them once around October when the ebay ban went into effect because I could not find certain coils I needed in a specific ohm at a reasonable price... But I never got spammed by them. When I received my order, I thought I received the wrong product (but I was wrong, I was looking at the wrong spot on the box and jumped to a conclusion before looking things over lol), anywhoo their service in handling my issue was pretty prompt.
That's good to hear. I may create an account some day.
The idea of having to do so just to look at something "rubs me the wrong way", though, like steel wool.
Yeah, I don't give my email out just for a "free" account. I have worked in the software industry for about 40 years and that email address is the most valuable thing they get. Sales are nice but that email address keeps selling and selling for them!
I have not used them since, I forgot I even used them until you posted that. lol I think I found them via google, not here, when searching for those specific coils. I never thought to go back and search their site for anything. If they opened it up to people without logging in people they would for sure get more business.
And logging in with a social media account seems to be a bad idea, too.
Shopping site Wish shows your friends and co-workers the kinky .... you’re into
Not that I even had a social media account lol
