Following a brief unavailability period for TikTok in the U.S., entrepreneurs began listing phones with preloaded TikTok on platforms like eBay for prices ranging from $340 to $50,000. Although exact sales figures remain unclear, listings that target lower price points seem to attract more bidders. The situation arose amidst questions regarding TikTok's future and potential bans, as President Trump directed a pause in enforcement of the ban, leaving many unsure about the app’s availability. TikTok remains popular, boasting around 170 million users in the U.S.
People are listing phones preloaded with TikTok for tens of thousands of dollars on eBay, Facebook marketplace and other online storefronts.
Some entrepreneurial spirits are selling phones and tablets that have TikTok—and other apps from its parent company ByteDance.
While it's not clear how many such phones have sold, the ones selling for hundreds have received the most bids.
TikTok has about 170 million users in the U.S. The ban does not target individual users, who are technically free to use it.
