Lap Band & Port Pulled from Ebay



Recommended Posts

someone tried to sell a band on ebay? New I hope!

several years ago a human liver was listed, it got to over a million $ before ebay pulled the plug on it.

Good! I hope Inamed gets their hands on whoever did it. Gray market medical supplies should NEVER be listed on ebay.

I am almost positive they had something to do with it. Too many of us reported the issue to them. They assured me via email they were on top of it. So I am sure they had it pulled.

I know my surgeon was aware of the items on ebay for sale. He emailed Inamed and they were already aware as well! Obviously, a good decision.

I have a friend that works at ebay in the investigation and fraud department. She said that she was not aware of it being a problem unless they get complaints from the company. They sell a lot of medical equipment and it probably did not raise any red flags because they weren't familiar with the band. They have so many lists on ebay they can not check every single one, and since there were no key words that would be questionable they would not check it out unless they had complaints. So I don't think the seller would be suspended.
