I've Just Found Out That Ebay Are Going To Stop Selling Medicines.....

Yes there are some registered Pharmacists selling on ebay x

I didn't read it decom I was told yesterday by a registered pharmacist on ebay, that I regularly buy something from, for somebody else, who doesn't use the Internet, when they hadn't got the product I usually buy I asked them why and that's how I found out! x

I'm afraid I don't know anymore than I posted ShellyAnn but if I hear anymore I'll update, I hope it doesn't affect too much, you never know what you might want till you try and buy it! x

JoTarpley I finally had about half an hour spare to order some last night so it would appear these are not being banned. I take it for my fibromyalgia and really without it, I would struggle to walk I get so stiff in my joints and tired out. It really is a life saver for me.

ShellyAnn I have been told by another Seller too now ShellyAnn who said that was the last they had to sell and they wouldn't be re-listing, people are selling off their stock, I know what I've been told so let's just wait and see what happens! x

I started buying them on there too dholly39 , for somebody else again, for some reason there's a world shortage of, for example, Ibuprofen, if you look there are a few people still selling their stock, I'm not sure whether they can just sell the stock they've listed and not restock, I'm not sure how it's working but I should nip over quick and see what you can pick up, at the moment you can buy 32 Ibuprofen ok if you want more you have to fill in a questionnaire, it depends what sellers are still there and what you can get, good luck x

Well I've been told twice now by 2 different Sellers, why would they say that if it wasn't true, they want your custom, that's why they are there! x

JoTarpley Hi,

Falsified medicines are a major threat to public health and safety. Anyone selling medicines to the public via a website must be registered with MHRA and display an Distance Selling logo on every page of the website offering medicines for sale.

The aim of the Distance Selling logo is to help members of the public to identify websites that can legally sell medicines.

Perhaps your sellers are unregistered with the MHRA and eBay are clamping down on them. (I.e. the issue is that some sellers can no longer sell medicines on eBay, rather than eBay will no longer sell medicines). Or maybe they are falling foul of some other new regulations.

I found the following on Google: (from a year ago)

New requirements for selling medicine on eBay

As part of eBay‘s cooperation with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) there will be a new enforcement of an eBay Medicine and Healthcare products policy. This means that from the 21st of January 2019, if you sell over the counter medicine on eBay you’ll have to be registered with the MHRA.

Business sellers offering online medicines are required:

to be registered with the MHRA; and

to display the EU common logo by including the link to the MHRA register approval page on each listing offering medicines.

As of the 21st of January 2019, any seller that does not comply with the above requirements will be prohibited from selling medicines on eBay.

eBay haven’t specified what enforcement steps they will be taking, but it will be reasonable to assume that if your listings don’t fully comply by the 21st of January that they will be scanning listings selling medicine on eBay and taking them down.

Johnny I see all that Johnny but I've been buying from proper registered Pharmacist who have told me this, not jack the lads selling products where any old rubbish is in the ingredients, lets just see what happen! x
