I've copied this from a post on another Rover forum:
"A heads up on some new rules being brought in on ebay regarding Environmental Permitting Rules.
If you are selling used parts on any platform, it appears you now have to have a environmental disposal licence, ie a breakers licence.
Basically if you are not a licenced breaker, you are not not allowed to strip cars and sell the parts. To enforce this, the environment dept has found a back door way to enforce, by getting ebay to take down any used parts listings that do not disclose that the cars are stripped on a licenced premise.
This will affect a lot of sellers of used car parts, and could also mean that it will be harder to get hold of used parts apart from buying from a breaker. I am not sure how this will effect some of us here on the Forum, but any of the traders who are selling used parts without a licence may fall foul of the law."
It's apparently being driven by the Environmental Dep't rather than Ebay themselves. Another method of making the running of older cars more difficult from the powers that be.
