Which is probably a relatively good thing generally but I haven't sold my ebike so it's a bit annoying!

Mine is a brand (Fazua) and safe but I guess limiting selling ebike to businesses will reduce problem bikes and batteries

But I'm a bit annoyed!!

Ooh, that's a coincidence...very strangely you popped into my head whilst I was out on my bike the other day and I wondered if you'd managed to sell your bike. Sorry to hear you haven't.
I saw the EBay change. I presume it is to protect themselves rather than anything else really. It is annoying if you have a good bike made from quality components. I wonder if they're going to extend this ban to other cheap electrical goods that might have dodgy batteries as I'm sure there's plenty of them!
Have you tried selling it to a shop? I was in an Ebike specific shop a couple of months ago and they had quite a few second hand bikes in stock so it might be worth a try.
Hope you find a solution. Such a shame after all the trouble you went to to get it. Are you still managing to ride your old bike ok?

You are best selling on Facebook marketplace, ive just sold my two without hassle. Though I did some heavy vetting!

I havent though @ThisHangryPinkBalonz it's been on Facebook and ebay for months

Hi @MrsAvocet my old bike only manages a round trip of about 16 miles so i cant do anything major on it - tbh I feel so betrayed by the whole thing
