Nicotine patches on e-bay

chatta

Does anyone know why I cant get Nicorette patches on e-bay. I can buy lots of other brands. Even if they get listed they appear to be removed, and i get e-mail from e-bay saying item has been removed and my bid cancelled. I did ask them why but referred me to their rules page which doesnt tell me specifically why nicorette patches are banned.

Because they're a drug?

maybe because they are prescriptioned (arent they)? that was the reason they removed some contact lenses i put up

I think it may have something to do witth the fact that smoking related itens are banned

no sorry if you look there are loads of things to help give up smoking. Every patch, gum etc except Nicorette.

Perhaps the manufacturers of Nicorette don't want their products being sold on eBay.

Are companies allowed to stop their products being sold on e-bay after all if I have bought something surely I can sell it anyway I want. I dont know just seems so strange to me.

There are many brands and/or products that are prohibited from being sold on eBay and as a result listings can be removed. Many brand owners register and become a participant in the VERO programme to protect their brand and products.

Thanks for all replies, I always learn something here......

They have some odd rules. Nicorette can't be sold on ebay... but Nicotinell is apparently acceptable.

Yes this my point why not nicorette. I did look at VERO though and saw nothing there.
