CBD is Not Allowed on Amazon

If you take a look at Amazon UK’s seller information website, you’ll see that CBD and other cannabinoids are prohibited, which means you cannot sell them. This means that any “hemp oil” product you find on Amazon does not contain CBD or any other cannabinoid.

However, Amazon does allow sellers to list hemp seed oil — an oil that is pressed from hemp seeds. Hemp seed oil is NOT the same thing as the oil extracted from the hemp plant and does not contain any CBD. Unfortunately, that hasn’t stopped shady sellers from listing products they call “hemp oil” and passing it off as if it’s the same thing as CBD oil.

Indeed, a quick search for “CBD” or “CBD oil” on Amazon UK will bring up dozens of products. What you’ll quickly notice, however, is that none of them so much as mention CBD.

In other words, Amazon UK sellers who list “hemp oil” and claim that it has health benefits are misleading customers into thinking their products contain CBD.

Another way these sellers deceive buyers is by including the term “full spectrum” in the product name or description. This term is typically used to describe CBD oil that contain the complete range of beneficial cannabinoids, terpenes, and other compounds in hemp.

By using this term with hemp seed oil, these sellers are further tricking people into thinking they’re buying CBD-rich hemp oil.
