FCC can’t really do anything about a Chinese person selling from China

  They can if someone is importing it.

    Most hobbyst (at least where I live) order directly from China on ebay or aliexpress. It's cheapest this way.

      That's what I do it almost all my equipment (not US, though)

      Customs services worldwide probably won't even come close to inspecting even 1% of that unending stream of tiny plastic envelopes containing some sort of electronics heading for thousands of local hobbyists. It's a logistical impossibility.

        They could blacklist everything and only pass-through stuff sent by trusted exporters I guess. Check 1% of the packages, if some exporter lied revoke his trusted status. But I highly doubt they will do it :)

  They can send a BOLO to CBP and have the devices seized on import.

    HAHAHahahahaa. An entire bucket of Chinese electronic components in my living room begs to disagree.

    Modules and components do not need FCC certification to be imported. CBP isn't going to do anything. Finished goods need FCC certification to be sold.
