Selling Flea Treatment on eBay

Have some left over Frontline flea treatment for cats that I was going to eBay. I can't work out if it's allowed or not, rules just direct me to vetinary medicine website which isn't v clear. There are loads of sold items the same. But another previous listing says it was pulled even though he is authorised to sell? :confused:

Does anyone know anything about whether I can or not? Thanks very much.

    im not sure either.

    its not a prescription medicine anymore, but i do know you have to have a special licence to sell it normally so possible wouldnt be allowed.

    have you not got a friend who has a cat? you could see if they would want it if you cant sell it

    i know with frontline etc.. you need to be licenced to sell it..... so thats why only vets......chemists... and some feed/pet stores sell it....

    you have to go on an coarse... and then sit an exam... its the same license for horse wormers.. sheep dis etc.....
    i think its a pml licence.....( or something like that )

    so i would have thought it is very unlikely you will be able to sell it on ebay.....as it would be like selling prescribed drugs......


    the olny thing i can suggest is give to to an animal sanctuary.....

    Hi reverie,

    I listed some frontline on ebay a few months ago and ebay removed my listing so am guessing that its not allowed.

    I have bought frontline from ebay before with no problems, this was last year sometime, not sure if the rules have changed. And might i add that i paid £10 all in for it when my Vet wanted over £30 - shocking!!
