eBay's Blocking Refrigerant Listings
eBay
If you need (or sell) R12, R22, R134a refrigerants (basically any HFC) eBay's starting to block sales and remove listings.

Just had a couple listings removed and confirmed with support staff they're no longer supposed to be allowing sales.

Not for nothing, You can thank the current government for this.
Soon there will be millions of older cars with no access to R134a....what happens then? Junk them and get e new car with YF1234? And then in 5 more years, that will be outlawed and on to the next up and coming refrigerant?

Do the environmentalists have any idea how much energy goes into manufacturing a brand new car, I wonder

I read last week that a certain top-tier FEDGOV official wants to eliminate ALL refrigerants and air conditioning systems. So this latest news doesn't surprise me.
