Your eBay account has been restricted: Emissions control defeat devices policy
eBay
Its important that we keep our marketplace safe for everyone
Hello glenngorman,
We wanted to let you know that your account has been restricted because of activity that didnt follow our Emissions control defeat devices policy.
What happened
Products that bypass emission-control systems are not allowed.
eBay now prohibits the sale of all tuners, devices or software that can modify vehicle performance, even if it does not remap the ECU or ECM or is described as diagnostic. This is to ensure compliance with our policy prohibiting products that defeat, bypass, or shut down emission control systems under our Emissions control defeat devices policy. Thanks for your understanding.
What this means for you
We need you to take action to avoid listing items like this again.
Listings that don't follow this policy have been removed. These listings are still in your Active Listings folder in My eBay and Seller Hub so you can view them. However, new buyers can't purchase them, shoppers can't see them, and you will not be charged additional listing fees for them. You can end them to move them out of Active Listings. - We have credited any associated fees, except for transaction fees for your sold listing(s).
Because you haven't followed this policy in the past, a temporary 3-day selling restriction has been placed on your account (starting on the date of this notice), and your other listings will be hidden from search during this period; these other listings will automatically be restored and show up in search results after the end of the temporary restriction.
Listings that don't follow this policy in the future will result in similar actions, including a 7-day restriction on your account.
This determination was made by a customer service agent. This came to our attention through automated detection.
The easiest way to avoid this in the future is to ensure that your current and future listings follow this policy. Please don't relist items that aren't allowed.
More about this policy
Products that bypass, defeat or render inoperative emission-control systems aren't allowed, either on their own or when combined with other hardware or software. See the EPA Enforcement Alert for more information.
Examples of such products include, but aren't limited to:
- Tuners, services, software or devices that modify the performance of vehicles, such as cars, trucks and off-road vehicles
- Aftermarket standalone (non-OEM) electronic control unit (ECU), including full electronic fuel injection (EFI) conversion kits
- Powertrain or exhaust parts intended for race only or off-road only
- Active fuel management/Dynamic fuel management or auto start-stop disablers
- Blocking plates for emission control systems
- Products that remove factory catalytic converters (CAT) or diesel particulate filters (DPF), selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF)
- Exhaust servo eliminators
- Devices intended to bypass or reduce flow to oxygen sensors
This policy helps our buyers and sellers follow government regulations.

There is a reason.. It's a company. An individual can sale it.
The EPA can fine companies up to $4,819 for each non-compliant part sold in violation of the Clean Air Act.
A dealership can be fined $10,000 for removing a catalyst from the exhaust.
You can do it however. Now if you live in a inspection state, may not want to especially if your system has a behind the cat oxygen sensor.
