What CAN'T I sell on Ebay?
As I'm sure you have heard by now you can sell almost anything
and everything under the sun through ebay auctions. The key word
here is "almost". Yes that's right, there are some items that
are actually forbidden to sell on ebay and could risk you
getting a suspended ebay account.
Suspended ebay accounts may be the result of attempting to break
ebay's rules by trying to sell products that are immoral,
illegal, or just plain distasteful. In order to remain an active
ebay buyer or an ebay seller without ever having a suspended
ebay account then it would behoove of you to learn the sort of
items that you cannot sell.
If you have noticed while listing your item, there is a text
link that goes into detail about the things that ebay has
prohibited. A suspended ebay account could be the least of your
worries because if caught trying to sell stuff from this list
you may even face prosecution!
Below are a few examples of items that you cannot sell or else
face having a suspended ebay account:
1. You may receive a suspended ebay account for selling
fireworks. Because this item is illegal in most states and in
other parts of the world, they do not meet the criteria of ebay
and are forbidden.
2. You may receive a suspended ebay account for selling guns and
firearms. Ebay has forbidden any type of machinery that fires a
projectile object. Even if he gun is a collectible it is still
not legal to sell on Ebay.
3. You may receive a suspended ebay account for selling drugs or
drug paraphernalia. This is very self explanatory.
4. You may receive a suspended ebay account for selling alcohol
due to its complex taxation.
5. Last but not least, you may receive a suspended ebay account
for selling body parts and human remains. Crazy huh? But in 1999
there was indeed an auction for a human kidney and since then
all other human body parts have been forbidden with the
exception of skeletons and skulls. These are legal because of
the education purposes that they provide.
