What You Can not Sell on eBay
Most people think that you can sell anything on eBay. But let me put a big ‘ALMOST’ in the sentence. You can sell ‘almost’ anything on eBay. Yup there are some policies that you must understand before you try to sell.
Of course there some obvious things banned like drugs or stolen goods, and most of the banned items are because there is a law against it. But if you review the list of the items you may say naaaah how could it be! (but trust me there are in the list because people list those items, and other buy it).
Here is the Complete List of Prohibited and Restricted Items
For example the ‘Used Clothes’ category you may sell Diaper covers (as long as it has been cleaned and the listing clearly states that the clothing is used) But you can’t under any circunstance sell used underwear, so if you are planning on selling your last season thongs, don’t.
Embargoed Goods and Prohibited Countries. This apply to US mostly, you can’t sell items from prohibited countries, yes, that’s apply to the cigars and the Rum from Cuba. and also you can’t sell things to them thats mean no computers to Sudan, and no Plutonium to South Korea.
Human Remains and body parts, this may sound obvious but will be surprise on how many people has tried to sell a kidney.
Also you can not sell your Brad Pitt’s autograph if you don’t have a certificate of authenticity.
You can’t sell your Pokemon’s toys if there was intented to sell only in Japan.
You can’t sell firearms, assault weapons or knives, sorry Rambo you simply can’t.
No, you can’t sell eagle’s eggs either or panda’s fur.
No, you can’t sell to a phillipine guy a ticket for today’s madonna’s concert in New York.
You can’t sell New Zeland or Disneyland
What Could Happend if I try to sell those things
Well beside the fact that the auction will be cancelled you may also suffer for this things:
- Listing cancellation
- Limits on account privileges
- Account suspension
- Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings
- Loss of PowerSeller statusm
As you can see, you may check on the prohibited and restricted listed before you list your precious items to sell.
