Can you sell a used crib, car seat, or stroller online?
Check the product and the marketplace rules first. eBay prohibits used cribs and used child car seats. Eligible sellers can list new ones that meet the specified standards. A stroller needs its own recall, condition, and eligibility checks. A marketplace accepting a listing does not establish that the product is safe.
Which nursery products should I keep out of a listing?
CPSC’s resale rules also apply to individual sellers, who must not offer recalled or unsafe products. Check cribs and strollers in the CPSC recall database. Both full-size and non-full-size cribs must meet applicable federal crib standards. CPSC warns that cribs made or sold before June 28, 2011 are very likely noncompliant. An absent recall result does not establish compliance. Confirm the model and its compliance with the manufacturer before considering resale.
What does eBay require for new cribs and car seats?
Only eligible sellers can list these products. A new crib must meet the 2011 CPSC standards. A new child car seat must meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213. The listing must state the relevant compliance. Good condition does not make a used crib or car seat eligible on eBay.
Can I use Facebook Marketplace instead?
Check Meta’s current commerce policies for your product and location before listing. Do not use another seller’s listing as evidence that your item is permitted or safe. Complete the manufacturer and recall checks first. Choosing local pickup does not remove those checks. If you cannot establish the item’s safety or eligibility, do not list it.
Where do I check recalls for a car seat?
Use NHTSA’s recall search for child car seats. Search with the manufacturer and exact model from the seat label. Use CPSC’s database for cribs and strollers. Also check the manufacturer’s notices and instructions. Read any applicable recall notice and contact the manufacturer about its remedy before considering reuse. A CPSC search alone is not a complete car-seat recall check.
Which car seats should never be sold for reuse?
Do not sell a seat for reuse after a moderate or severe crash. Disclosing that crash does not make reuse safe. For a minor crash, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and NHTSA’s full minor-crash criteria. Do not sell a seat for reuse if its history is unknown or its manufacturer’s expiration has passed. Confirm the model and manufacture-date labels, all required parts, and the instruction manual. Missing information requires a check with the manufacturer, not an assumption that the seat is safe.
What should I check before selling a stroller?
Match its model and manufacture date to recall notices and manufacturer instructions. Check the frame, folding lock, brakes, harness, wheels, and required parts. Stop if a part is damaged or a safety check fails. Photograph the actual condition and included accessories. For pricing, compare completed sales for the same model and condition instead of assuming a fixed percentage of its original price.
Where does Reclaim fit into selling baby gear?
Use Reclaim to identify and price an item and prepare its listing after completing the safety and marketplace checks. Reclaim does not certify product safety or verify recalls, crib compliance, car-seat history, or expiration for you. A price estimate does not establish that an item can be sold.
