This policy was updated on 7 November 2024 with some minor amendments to the layout, but our policy guidelines are unchanged.
We don't allow our members to use eBay to encourage or enable others to engage in illegal activity.
What is the policy?
Items or information that might enable or encourage illegal activity are not allowed. Examples include:
- Blank rain checks
- Information on how to use or make illegal drugs, bombs or explosives
- Kill switch-activated electronic devices, including smartphones and tablets
- Lockpicking tutorials
- Products designed to fake the results of drug tests
Activity on eBay is required to follow this policy, the eBay User Agreement and all applicable laws, as well as respect the rights of third parties. If it doesn't, eBay may take action consistent with applicable laws and the eBay User Agreement, and may even be legally required to do so. Such actions may include, as an example only: Removing the listing or other content, issuing a warning, restricting activity or account suspension.
