Recalled toys sold on eBay

You have probably heard about the recent massive toy recall. But just because those toys are off the shelves, it doesn't mean that they are out of circulation.

A study published in "Injury Prevention" magazine found that many items that have been recalled over the years find their way onto eBay. Further, most parents who have bought these toys have no idea that they were recalled. Take the time to see if your child's toys have been recalled on our product recall clearinghouse page.

What do we do if we find out that we purchased a recalled item on eBay?

When an item is purchased on eBay that has been recalled, the buyer has the right to ask for a refund. Also, if you purchase through PayPal, you can request a refund through PayPal. With recent changes to eBay's rules, buyers can no longer be given negative feedback. Buyers can only be given positive feedback by sellers, so there is no fear of retaliation for giving a seller negative feedback for selling recalled products.
