eBay is trying to stop incandescent sales « on: March 25, 2025, 11:59:12 AM » Author: Silverliner
Lately, they’ve been removing many listings of A19 incandescent bulbs within hours of listing, but they’re not perfect as there are still some up. All this thanks to the 2023 ban. Just take a look around for yourself. Lots of LED, not as much incandescents as before.

Wow, that's ridiculous! You can't buy or sell them! It's easier to get weed! Didn't Trump unban them or something?

Man, It should be the other way round- LEDs get banned and Incandescent get to be sold. I have no clue why are they trying to get rid of these incandescent bulbs even though they have no mercury + toxic gases in them. The only thing what I see a negative in them is that they get very hot and maymelt if current gets too high. Otherwise, these nasty things should be

Usually I collect bulbs (Mostly LED) and some HID ones. I also own a couple of streetlights, but most are made in Poland.

However, I mostly prefer SOX bulbs. LED bulbs in their efficacy will never beat SOX bulbs, in my opinion.

I've seen a few different ways around this .  Not using the word Incandescent in the listing , spelling it wrong I.E. Incande$cent , Not LED , Old Style light bulb , ETC.

Yep, I've been selling lots of things on eBay lately and the word "incandescent" is flagged. You have to remove it to successfully list lamps for sale.

It's actually simpler than that... I get around the ban by simply marking the category as "Business & Industrial → Facility Maintenance → Lamps & Lighting Parts" or whatever the subcategories are called.

There was a different culture back then. There was less government, and the people were expected to make the right choices. Now it is assumed that the erroneous, dumb masses will not make the right choices, so the good, smart politicians must make sure that they do.
