Sellers, please note that safety standards for toy skin care products have been updated on various eBay sites

Previously, eBay platform has introduced high mandatory regulatory standards for baby and children's products, and relevant regulatory agencies will conduct strict inspections. People familiar with the matter said that in 2021, all eBay sites will strengthen safety regulatory standards for children's products, toys, and beauty and skin care products.

eBay said it has established a series of "general requirements" for baby and children's products, which are requirements applicable worldwide. The global eBay platform prohibits the listing of any Cot Bumper baby mattresses and Baby Sleeper baby pillows that claim to "prevent or reduce the possibility of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome)".

The UK and US eBay sites also provide more specific standard information. The US site specifically reminds merchants that all products related to infants and young children must ensure that the products meet specific implementation standards. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have both put forward relevant requirements for infant sleep products.

Similarly, the UK eBay site also places special emphasis on strengthening safety standard supervision for related products such as baby walkers, bunk beds, child sleepwear, etc. Sellers of such products need to pay close attention to platform policy trends and understand relevant requirement documents such as the "Product Safety Guidelines".

In addition to baby products, eBay has also made requirements for toys and other products. From an overall perspective, the eBay platform requires merchants worldwide to ban the sale of children's plastic products and toys containing DEHP plasticizers. In addition, pressure products with certain dangers, such as water expanding balls/water beads, water balls and water beads toys, are also included in the list of dangerous toy products.

eBay also provides the latest safety standards for child safety seats for cars. Each eBay site states that such products must first comply with local "Motor Vehicle Safety Standards" and comply with relevant regulations of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

In addition to children's products, sellers of beauty and skin care cosmetics also need to pay attention. On eBay's US site, the FDA has strengthened its supervision of beauty cosmetics, and the products sold by sellers must comply with the US FD&C Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and its amendments, as well as packaging and labeling laws.

The EU said that cosmetics must comply with EU Regulation No. 1223/2009 on cosmetics , and manufacturers should also pay attention to new trends in a timely manner.
