As eBay bans the sale of live fish from its platform, a new aquarium fish marketplace opens to ensure people can safely buy and sell fish online.

United Kingdom, June 21, 2025 -- Aquadiction, a trusted name in the fishkeeping community, has officially launched a global online marketplace dedicated to the secure sale of life tropical fish, shrimp, aquatic plants and snails. It’s being called an Aquarium Fish Marketplace by members of the community - and it arrives at a crucial time in the online fish-selling landscape. 

eBay and other major marketplace platforms have recently banned the sale of live fish online. This has created a hole for hobbyists and small sellers as there isn’t currently a modern & reliable alternative. Aquadiction hopes that its new marketplace fills this gap and makes it easier for collectors and enthusiasts to buy and sell online once more. 

A Solution for the Aquatic Community

The discontinuation of live fish listings on eBay means that fishkeepers and members of the online aquatic community are left in the dark. From the outside looking in, it seems like an unfair move that alienates a friendly community and makes it harder for them to enjoy a simple hobby. 

Aquadiction's new marketplace is the ultimate solution as a response to these changes. It’s designed by fishkeepers, for fishkeepers - which makes it an even better platform than eBay ever was. The fact that enthusiasts built the platform means it contains all the key features needed when buying or selling fish online, and it allows independent breeders and aquarium shops to connect directly with buyers across the UK and beyond. 

Unique Features for Safe Sales

This aquarium fish marketplace is equipped with a host of important features, including: 

• Specialised listings for livestock and plants
• Verified seller onboarding with optional Stripe and PayPal payments
• Live animal shipping support with flexible delivery options
• Integrated customer messaging and reviews for transparency and trust

Marcus, the founder of Aquadiction, notes that, “Our community needed a solution, somewhere ethical, reliable, and built with the specific needs of fishkeepers in mind.” He went on to say, “When eBay shut down live listings, it left a hole in the hobby. We built this marketplace to give both buyers and sellers a proper home.”

As a result, the Aquadiction Marketplace offers independent sellers the ability to set up a shop quickly, list livestock or aquarium products, and reach an engaged audience. There are no upfront fees; just a small transaction fee per sale. Sellers retain control over pricing, delivery methods, and shop presentation. 

Now Open to Buyers and Sellers Worldwide

Hobbyists can browse listings by species, shop location, or category, and securely purchase from reputable sellers. Shops are verified and supported with built-in payment options and modern storefront tools. 

Aquadiction is now open for anyone who’s interested in buying or selling live fish and the like. Further details can be found on the website here: https://aquadiction.world/.
