Contracts policy overview
When you list an item that comes with a contract, you're responsible for following the rules of that contract. Since eBay isn't a party to these types of contracts, we don't review contracts, adjudicate or take sides in any contract disputes. eBay also doesn't search for items that may raise these types of issues or enforce terms from third parties restricting the resale of an item.
Please bear in mind that listing or selling items in violation of your contractual obligations could put you at risk of legal liability. Before listing an item, we recommend that you review any relevant contracts or agreements to ensure you can legally sell it on eBay. You are responsible for ensuring that your transaction is lawful.
If you have any questions about your rights or obligations under a contract or agreement, get in touch with the company with whom you have the contract or talk to a lawyer for advice.
