After I have been seeing that the US eBay has developed a policy that prohibits sellers from selling general service incandescent lamps due to the 2023 incandescent lamp ban in the USA, I am wondering if USA market general service incandescent lamps are now considered “rare” as of 2024.

Additionally, is it true that the ban has also required unsold stocks of incandescent lamps affected by the ban to be destroyed?

I am wondering about this because I have seen many examples of US eBay sellers selling incandescent lamps at very high prices while eBay sellers in other countries seem to sell incandescent lamps at more reasonable prices even though they have been banned in those countries.

As strange as it sounds, I bought lamps at dollar general back in November of last year. So no, they don’t have to throw them out.

Well Ebay makes it harder sell lamp.  People are not stupid  to distroy lamps.   Keep in mind  i you can still find packs of them
At  estate sales  that people  tucked away.   Heck were still finding old packs of com ed bulbs from 50-to early 2000
 All over the US.   I threw that in there as a example
    As proof. 

 There's still tons of regular incandescents on eBay .
