EBAY STATES SALES WITH MATERIALS THAT INCLUDE MAGNETS WILL BE CANCELLED
Summary: ambros_51 described a situation where eBay canceled sales of horn tweeters shipped within Canada but meant to go abroad, claiming they posed a risk due to containing magnets. Customer service explained that items with magnets might be problematic for international shipping. marnotom! shared information about shipping magnets by air, suggesting that eBay may follow strict guidelines even for consumer-grade items. byto253 noted similar issues and questioned whether mentioning magnets in the description caused the cancellations. ambros_51 confirmed mentioning magnets in one description, expressing frustration with eBay's actions.
twice i experienced a strange issue , i am located in CANADA and sold 2 pairs of horn tweeters ON DIFFERANT OCCASIONS that were shipped to the same CANADIAN addres , on 2 differant occasions EBAY both times cancelled the sale and on each occasion refunded the buyer in full and i got to keep the sale and also customer service said that i am protected from any negative feedback that might be left to me .
i asked for an explanation ! the explanation is as follows ! even though i shipped to the same canadian address the items were destined to go to the US OR ABROAD ! the tweeters contained magnets and that somehow posed a risk ! in other words the HORN SPEAKER TWEETERS WITH MAGNETS , POSED A DANGER ! i guess now shipping speakers using the GLOBAL SHIPPING is going to be cancelled because they have MAGNETS !!!! .
HAS ANYBODY ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS WEIRD ISSUE ?

·3 weeks agoVery weird. It has been over a year since I sold speaker parts - woofers and tweeters but I have sold a good number of them without a problem. Must be something new or AI gone crazy. Did you have magnet anywhere in the title or description, or item specifics? e.g. Alinco magnets?

·3 weeks agoI found a post on the .com community boards from a UK buyer who was distraught over the fact that fridge magnets seemed to be an issue for eIS.
As for industrial magnets, I suggest you read these pages:

·3 weeks agoThe speaker parts are strictly consumer grade, not industrial.

·3 weeks agoYup, but if eIS is going so far as to restrict fridge magnets, they may be going off these guidelines.
