The U.S. Justice Department filed a civil complaint against eBay, claiming the online marketplace unlawfully sold and distributed hundreds of thousands of products like pesticides and motor vehicle emission-evading devices that violate environmental laws.

The complaint Wednesday claims eBay sold, offered for sale or caused the sale of more than 343,000 aftermarket devices that try to evade motor vehicle emissions controls.

In addition, the complaint claims eBay distributed more than 5,600 painting and coating removal products that include methylene chloride. eBay called the government's actions “entirely unprecedented,” and said that it planned to vigorously defend itself. eBay said that it's blocking and removing more than 99.9% of the listings for the products cited by the Justice Department, including millions of listings each year.
