eBay Products Add To America's Drug and Opioid Crisis

Who will cleanup eBay's sleazy online marketplace?

May 1, 2018 - Los Angeles, CA – Already under fire as a haven for U.S. and cross-border scam artists to freely unload counterfeit, fake, replica and dangerous merchandise, eBay faces another credibility problem. eBay sellers are offering drug pill presses and prescription pill tablet dies to make counterfeit and replica Oxycodone, Alprazolam, Xanax, and other prescription drugs along with tablet binding powder on its website.

The obvious question; for what possible legitimate reason?

America is facing an opioid and drug crisis, yet eBay is enabling and facilitating the means for fraudulent and dishonest sellers to obtain the supplies to manufacture real or replica prescription drugs. eBay receives a transaction fee for each item sold.

Authentic prescription pills are shown below along with the pill dies and powders from current eBay listings.

Companies that facilitate criminal activity and profit from dishonest sales which impact consumer safety, jobs and public trust create a public perception of deception and impunity.

Congress has the obligation to act, and consumers can shop elsewhere. Will they?
