EBay’s Policy Change: What It Means for Fish Sellers and Buyers

As of March 20 2025, eBay will no longer allow sellers to list live fish or aquatic invertebrates. This change affects both sellers who rely on the platform for income and buyers who depend on it as a convenient place to source fish for their aquariums.

The Impact on Sellers and Buyers

Sellers are facing the challenge of losing a trusted marketplace, potentially cutting into their revenue streams. Buyers, meanwhile, must seek out new places to purchase their fish, which can cause confusion and inconvenience.

Looking Forward

This shift means both sellers and buyers need to explore alternative ways to connect. Many in the aquarium community are now turning to local pet stores, aquarium clubs, and dedicated aquatic retailers for their needs. Establishing direct relationships with knowledgeable suppliers can provide the same quality and variety that many came to expect from eBay.
