eBay is pretty good at enforcing their policy banning sales of medical equipment requiring a prescription. They yank any listing for a CPAP very quickly.


Took me literally 30 seconds to find one:

They even have a category for "Medical equipment > ventilators". If they do have such a policy, they enforce it very poorly.


I guess it varies by country. In the US they pull CPAP listings very quickly.

A lot of stuff is over the counter now so why aren't cpaps and other durable (overpriced) medical equipment?
