E-bay may seem to have everything a buyer would need or want.
However, not all things are provided on E-bay for sale. There
are things that are prohibited in being displayed in E-bay due
to infringement of some existing laws.
This list of prohibited items should be strictly noted unless
it's okay for the seller to be banned from the E-bay listing or
his or her account suspended. He or she may even face some
criminal charges relative to the violation of the law.
These prohibited items are as follows:
1. School-related software.
This refers to any kind of school-related software that is being
sold to students or researchers at marked down amounts.
2. Law-related items like brand names misused just for personal
gain; copyrighted materials, unauthorized recording or footage
of a live show; beta software or software that are used to test
and assess a software's over-all performance; any software or
hardware used to extract different audio and video files in a
CD, VCD, or DVD; or items that a seller cannot provide proof of
authenticity.
3. Wildlife creatures and animals.
Any kind of animals being sold in E-bay is strictly prohibited.
There are certain laws that govern the illegality of selling
wildlife animals especially those that are classified as extinct
or nearly extinct.
4. Tickets or contracts of concerts, shows, or any kind of
performances.
Selling of these items is strictly prohibited unless the seller
is permitted to do so by an approving officer. Sale of such
legal agreements may result to breach or violation of the law.
5. Fake items such as counterfeited currencies. These are not
only prohibited in E-bay but are highly punishable by law.
6. Any downloadable media.
These refer to any kind of software that was only made available
for certain people. If the seller is not the sole owner of the
rights of said downloads, E-bay will not accept such items for
sale. In such cases, these items will only be allowed provided
that the seller can provide proofs of copyright ownership and
that this must be stated when posting the item for sale.
7. Goods that were prohibited from other countries.
8. Signatures, faces, or names of people without the owner's
permission.
9. Any kind of ammunition or weapon.
10. Government licenses, identification cards, or any pertinent
document related to the government.
Usually, E-bay updates or modifies this list of prohibited
items. And so, it's important for every buyer and seller to get
hold of an updated copy of the list of prohibited items on
E-bay.
