This is illegal, right?

I was looking on ebay, and I saw this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=245137871

Isn’t that illegal? Selling the medications, not the info, I mean. The person selling it says it’s legal, but I doubt it. (Not that I have any intention of ever taking Xenical, with or without a prescription.)


Life is a tragedy for those who feel and a comedy for those who think.

Here is the best I can come up with after a bit of searching:

From: http://www.usdoj.gov/criminal/cybercrime/fong9907.htm

It’s illegal.

Frankly, if it were legit, I doubt they’d have used that shade of pink.

Come on guys. Did you not read the whole thing.

It says

They answer it right there in the write-up.

Don’t do it and it will not matter.

It is actually either a scam or a trap.

Scammer trying to get you to pay for nothing.

Or some agency trying to get people to do it to trap them.

you should report it to ebay and they will remove it

With around 100,000 new auctions a day, it takes alittle time for them to get around to cancelling it.

Also, search tehre for, ‘opium’ ‘marijuana’ quite a lot of listings :slight_smile:

Cocaine? Opium? Christ! If Ebay doesn’t get their act together, they’ll get shut down by the Feds. Who would do the plug-pulling? The DEA? FBI? ATF?

What is Xenical?

It’s a drug that prevents fat absorption. Nice side effects. What I remember from the radio commercial is “increased bowel movements, an urgent need to have them and an inability to control them.”

You forgot to mention “gas with oily discharge”. I bet that’s a lot of fun. :slight_smile:

I prefer the term ‘anal leakage’

Buying prescription drugs through the mail is illegal as hell, but you’re unlikely to get caught. Usually if they do intercept the goods, you won’t get busted for it. This according to a New York Times article on the subject from earlier this month. Mostly they concetrate on domestic enforcement, rather than intercepting prescriptions shipped from other countries to the U.S. NYT even suggests a web site to buy your illegal prescriptions from. How nice of them :slight_smile:

I don’t think the ATF would get involved. My guess would be either DEA or FBI.

A friend of mine tried Xenical, but he failed to follow the starvation diet recommended with the product. Now he’s fat and has oily spotting. Double bonus! (He says the oily spotting looks like taco grease. As if you wanted to know that.)

I doubt the ATF would get involved. In fact, are they involved in anything since Mt.Carmel? (waco)
If they did get involved, they’d probably screw it up too.

Actually it’d be U.S. Customs. The DEA doesn’t touch anything that isn’t considered big-time drug trafficking, and IIRC the FBI rarely touches drug cases at all unless there are violent crimes associated with them.
