I just got this from EBay. I listed one bottle yesterday. I made no claims with the listing, only the contents of the bottle (steam distilled H2O, silver colloids) and a description of the bottle. There were several CS products already listed prior to my listing.
---------- From: [email protected] Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2001 16:26:37 PST To: [email protected] Subject: PI Notice: eBay Auction(s) Cancelled - INSERT TEXT HERE Dear Connie ([email protected]), eBay appreciates the fact that you chose to list your auction(s): 1663900863 Colloidal Silver with us. However, it has been brought to our attention that the FDA has found colloidal silver products to be unsafe. The FDA has classified colloidal silver products to be misbranded because adequate directions cannot be written so that the general public can use these drugs safely for their intended purposes. They are also misbranded when their labeling falsely suggests that there is substantial scientific evidence to establish that the drugs are safe and effective for their intended uses. Based on this information, eBay has determined that the sale of items containing colloidal silver will no longer be allowed on our site. Therefore, these auctions have been ended and all associated fees have been refunded to your account. For a complete text of the ruling by the FDA in this matter, please view the following page: http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/ANSWERS/ANS00971.html Please use the following link to view the FDA's About Me Page for more information: http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/usfda/ Per our current policies for prescription drugs and food products, eBay does not permit the listing of any components of prescription or over-the-counter drugs unless the sale of such components without a prescription has been approved by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA). In addition, eBay does not allow listings containing drug claims - that is, a claim that the item is intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease in humans and/or animals (e.g., pharmaceutical drugs, contact lenses, misbranded dietary supplements). For more information, please review the following pages: http://pages.ebay.com/help/community/png-prescription.html and http://pages.ebay.com/help/community/png-food.html Please view our guideline page for a better understanding of our auction guidelines and how they affect the way you list your items: http://pages.ebay.com/help/community/png-list.html For information on infringing or illegal items or for other eBay listing guidelines, please view: http://pages.ebay.com/help/community/png-items.html For more information on why eBay has ended an auction, please visit: http://pages.ebay.com/help/community/png-endauction.html Future auctions listed that fail to meet our listing guidelines will be ended early and repeated violations may jeopardize your account status. We value you as a member of our community and wish to continue this relationship, so we must ask you to refrain from any violations of the Listing Policies or User Agreement in the future.<TAB> We thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.
