A US government lawsuit accusing eBay of selling almost 350,000 polluting and environmentally harmful products — including pesticides and “defeat” devices that let motor vehicles evade emission controls — has been dismissed by a federal judge.

A federal judge dismissed a U.S. Department of Justice lawsuit accusing eBay of violating environmental laws by allowing the sale of hundreds of thousands of harmful products on its platform, including pesticides and devices to evade motor vehicle pollution controls.

A judge ruled the online marketplace was protected by a law that makes companies immune from liability over content posted by internet users.

Bay has removed final-value fees for domestic sales in the U.K., mirroring a similar move the company made in Germany last year.

In a world where consumers are grappling with rising costs, the removal of selling fees on second-hand platforms signals a significant shift.

As of today, eBay consumer-to-consumer (C2C) sellers in the UK will no longer have to pay selling fees for any domestic purchases. The company had first tested free selling for pre-owned clothes earlier this year.
