Iodine may be secretly banned by Ebay

I've noticed listings for iodine being named discreetly. A listing for 250g of Iodine was removed and was listed with discreet verbiage. Numerous listings for I2 have been listed with discreet verbiage

Still available on amazon from laborladen.de, even though the website no longer sells it to private individuals.

Search “prill crystals” on eBay and you should find elemental iodine crystals. The sellers are just selling it under a different name.

I saw that. Ebay may be gradually moving toward a policy of restriction to chemicals for sale for private individuals. They label sulfuric acid as an explosives precursor which it is in several European countries and also expanded their poison policy so mercury salts and arsenic get removed even if it's less toxic as in cinnabar. Albeit cinnabar itself is still available

There's also some elemental I2 on Etsy, though getting reagents off of Etsy has been very hit-or-miss for me.

I just received prilled iodine today from lugolsnaturals.com Not cheap but at least I got it. Not like eBay where I never received the iodine or a refund.
