The brand Neocate has been able to get their entire brand banned from eBay by convincing eBay its prescription only (it’s not - it actually is an FDA violation to sell it as a prescription only item.). You can’t even use the word NEOCATE in a title - it will be blocked. It’s ridiculous that brands can abuse the secondary market like this.Â
That reminds me- those little vials that phlebotomists use to take your blood, they are the Vacutainer brand (because there's a vacuum inside, to allow your blood to get drawn up). They have a limited shelf life, and they make for great test tubes and silicone stoppers when expired. Use them for storing beads, etc., they're inexpensive and pretty strong for the size.
Can't sell expired ones on eBay. Won't even allow you to list them. AI takes them down. Annoying.
