As many of you know, I have many interests. One of my primary interests is helping folks save money on gas by installing hydrogen generators and other electronic fuel saving controls. I build and sell hydrogen generators and sensor control devices to help lean out the air/fuel ratio to get the most out of your hydrogen system.
Over the past few weeks, ebay had begun deleting all of my auctions for my sensor control devices claiming they did not allow sellers to sell items that “intereferes with or by passes the catalytic converter.” Since my devices have nothing at all to do with catalytic converters I contacted Ebay to find out what the problem is.
The response was this:
” Thank you for writing eBay in regard to the alert you received.
We have reviewed the information you sent and the listings. The Vehicle
Related alerts should not have been sent. Please accept our sincere
apology for the mistake and the undue stress it caused. I also made a
note on your account stating that the alerts were sent in error.

We appreciate those members who are willing to work with us regarding
our policies, and thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

So after I got this email I figured everything was all good. Someone goofed and I should be able to sell my fuel saving devices in peace. I listed another batch of auctions and everything was fine for about a week. Then all of my auctions got deleted again for the same reason. The same reason that has nothing to with my auctions.
After I emailed everyone at Ebay I could find they finally got back in touch with me. Here is the response I got this time:
“Dear Jason,
Thank you for writing eBay in regard to your listings for the hydro
commander and Simple O2, etc. I apologize for the delay in responding.
I understand that you were advised by me on Jul 11 that the listings
that were ended on Jul 10 were ended in error. At the time that
information was actually correct. We have since reviewed these types of
devices as to whether we feel they should or can be listed on our site.
This review resulted in our determination that such devices, i.e. 02
adjusters, MAP Sensor Enhancers, and other oxygen to fuel ratio
adjusters for hydrogen generators or HHO systems, will no longer be
permitted on the site.
I understand that they are not related in any way to catalytic
converters, but at this time that is the policy under which we are
taking action for these items. We ask that you refrain from listing
similar items for sale on eBay in the future.
With regard to other violating listings, I understand your concern and
want to assure you that we don’t single out members. We are actively
working to remove all listings that violate this policy and inform the
sellers. When a listing is reported to eBay, we carefully review all
aspects of the listing. If we determine that the listing violates eBay
policies, we take appropriate action. Although some listings slip by, it
doesn’t reduce the seriousness of the violations or affect the action
that we take on the listings that we are aware of.
We also rely on reports from members to help us in our efforts to keep
eBay as safe and fair a place to trade as possible. If you encounter a
possible violation on eBay, we encourage you to report it through the
“Report this item” link found at the bottom of each item page. Your
report will be reviewed as quickly as possible, usually within 48 hours.
If we find that a listing violates our policies or guidelines,
appropriate action will be taken.
We appreciate those members who are willing to work with us regarding
our policies, and thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
Darell

Straight from the horses mouth. Ebay has banned the sales of all devices intended to help you lean out your fuel for the sake of saving gas with your own hydrogen hybrid. I have asked if racing devices meant to do the exact same thing will be banned and have yet to get a response.
So they apologized.. I relisted… then they banned these devices a week later.
Hydrogen works folks. Ebay is being pressured from somewhere to prevent the public from being able to use this simple technology. It is no surprise as Ebay is not a free market. It is highly censored marketplace that bends over backwards for big brother and other outside pressure.
It is not the first time ebay has banned revolutionary technology form being sold. Things that will truly allow you reduce your dependency on big oil… things that can help you be healthier for pennies a day… things like this have been banned and are still being removed from YOUR world.
Several years ago the FDA was putting a lot of pressure on Ebay to prohibit the sale of “colloidal silver” products. The FDA has run public smear campaigns against colloidal silver and rightly so… It can take billions out of the pockets of the big drug companies. Colloidal silver is the worlds most powerful antibiotic and you can make it your self at home… just like hydrogen generators… it is infact very similar technology.
Around this same time band aid companies had been marketing “silver healing” bandaids. They had silver fibers in the pad and would heal your cuts faster and prevent infection the expensive “silverlon” bandages hospitals use for burn patients. Months later silver band aids vanished from retail stores.
At this time Ebay banned sellers from selling anything realting to colloidal silver based on FDA findings. What did the FDA find about colloidal silver? The very worst side effect they have been able to come upwith is “you might turn grey”. In rare cases of folks with selenium deficiencies, silver particles can stain the skin called “argyria”. I use colloidal silver daily and have for years… I have tried to turn myself grey… No luck.
Speaking of side effects have you heard the latest 5 mile long list of side effects for most modern day medications?? whew… I think I will take my chances with turning grey!
Life saving technology is being filtered from the worlds largest marketplace? YES!
Now… in 2008… important technology which can help you use much less gasoline is being banned by the worlds largest online marketplace. Welcome to George Orwells NINETEEN EIGHTY FOUR! “They” don’t want you to know you can use less gas!
Help spread this around and help me share the good news of hydrogen hybrids. For very little money we can all reduce our gasoline consumption and clean our stinky emissions. Save green and BE green!
We should be outraged that Ebay has the gaul to prohibit the sale of devices which are proven to enable you to reduce your own dependence on foreign oil, especially during this time of economic havoc being brought on by the high oil prices.
Meanwhile, I will still enjoy the 45% increase in gas mileage my hydrogen systems are capable of achieving and I will continue to share this technology with the world.
