    Since it's not tobacco, do I need to do anything special to sell hookahs on ebay, like get a license or anything?

    Why don't you just email ebay just to be extra sure, I can't see the problem with it but it's ebay you want to be asking.

    I know that ebay allows me to sell them, my question was that since I am selling an item used to smoke tobacco do I need any sort of special licenses or anything.

    It's pretty safe, until and unless it's "Tobacco Free".

    and i am sure that you are not selling "Tobacco" with it.

    Just be sure to look into the laws on a per state basis. Some don't allow what they consider paraphernalia..

    That's how Tommy Chong got in trouble.

    A lot of states do not allow sale of drug paraphernalia.

    If you are selling well designed and artistically appealing hookahs, you can always pass off, selling them as collector's item.

    Though selling them for real purpose of smoking tobacco, might get you into trouble in some countries! :(

    the simple answer is No. you dont need a license if you are not selling the tobacco.

    You can't sell tobacco on ebay anyway even if you do have a license to sell tobacco products.

    i can tell you that the local head shops need a license to sell there hookas, water pipes, and "tobacco" bongs. and no state will stop you from selling them as long as you specify for "tobacco" use only [​IMG]

    I never did say that you were selling tobacco on ebay I was just saying even if you did have a license you couldnt sell it anyway because it's against there TOS.
