EBay is banning the sale of air bags and air-bag parts on its website, beginning next month, following multiple reports of fatalities involving components believed to be counterfeit and installed in used cars. The e-commerce platform said that air-bag inflaters—which ignite and rapidly fill an air bag during a crash—will no longer be permitted to be sold on eBay by any seller, nor will air bags themselves. “This decision was made following a comprehensive review of the risks these products may pose to eBay users,” the company said in a statement announcing the move.

CEO Jamie Iannone highlighted that over 70% of gross merchandise volume (GMV) came from these strategic priorities, with each growing more than 20% year-over-year
