Online retailer eBay has joined other major platforms in prohibiting the sale of airbags and related components, citing concerns over counterfeit or faulty aftermarket parts. The move follows growing scrutiny over the safety risks posed by unregulated third-party supplies in the automotive industry. Buyers seeking replacement parts may now face additional challenges as options shrink on leading marketplaces. The decision underscores broader industry efforts to tighten controls on potentially hazardous automotive accessories.
eBay became the latest online retailer to ban the sale of airbags and many of their components. Aftermarket parts can be risky if they turn out to be fake or defective.
