Ebay's response: "This is unprecedented!"; not "This is a lie!", or "We're not guilty!".

If your best response is that the EPA hasn't prosecuted you this large before, then you must be super guilty.

I hope the case results in the list of people who bought these things being forwarded to their states' authorities.

Lol no state has extra resources to do anything. Murica!

And where these are most popular, the police would choose not to do anything anyway.

Lol bootlicker. I don't agree with their purchases by anymeans but fuck snitching to the government , an arguably more corrupt system than private sector ecommerce

eBay has always sold shady stuff. They only stop when they get lots of pressure about a certain thing they're allowing. I used to buy $5 Windows 10 keys on there but they haven't sold them recently.
