With recent news Ebay have changed their policy and are now NOT allowing the selling or tropical fish on their platform.

Myself running my own business, this causes me a real inconvenience as will other businesses who depend on eBay for their income. This will ruin even more business who depend on this income and could impact the hobby even further.

As we know the aquatic market is already struggling and day to day we are seeing aquatic shops all over the UK closing due to the rising costs of rates and utility bills. But now this new policy has taken place it could mean the hobby has an even bigger impact and could cause the hobby to further decline.

Myself I want the hobby to thrive, even if eBay were to change the policy so that we as genuine sellers, have to provide eBay with copies of our pet shop licenses 

We need to stand up and against this change so that the hobby can continue, most business are based online now and with over head costs in shops, the aquatic industry is really taking a hit and now eBay have changed this policy, a lot of business will suffer because of this.

I ask that eBay change the policy back to how it was, for me I have a 100% impeccable feedback, its important they check these business, as now it leaves my business in the balance as to whether or not I will survive this sudden change in policy.

Please stand with me and ensure eBay understand this is not the best decision that they have made and will impact the hobby and genuine businesses like myself.
