eBay bans private ebike sales

Due to fire risk apparently you won’t be able to sell ebikes on fleabay. Slightly annoying given they’ve just removed fees I guess.

Presumably telling mainstream bikes from direct Chinese dodgy ones is too much like hardwork. I realise ebike fires and the like are all the rage in the news but I assume they’ll still sell spares or repair card and parts with zero safety checks?
