Prescription Drugs Controlled drugs that require a prescription from a licensed practitioner (such as a doctor, dentist, ophthalmologist or optometrist) are not permitted on eBay; this includes drugs prescribed by veterinarians for animals. Sellers may not list medications that contain pseudoephedrine or ephedrine on eBay. These medications now require a prescription from a doctor in at least one state, and the sale of these products is closely regulated by federal and state law.

Additional Information Members should refer to the FDA's tips for purchasing drugs online to be sure that they are not listing or bidding on prescription drugs or items.

Think safety and check with the FDA first. The Center for Veterinary Medicine maintains the "Green Book" online where members can search for information about animal drug products.
