Below are some guidelines to follow when you're on eBay.
Adult Items
We have a listing category known as Adults Only. Like all listings on our site, listings in this category are the sellers sole responsibility, and we do not verify, endorse, or recommend any of the items therein.We created this category so that users could avoid (or seek out) this merchandise as they wish. We dont take a moral stand on the items which are listed on our site – we act only as a venue for bidders, buyers, and sellers to meet. Users concerned about adult items should not access this category.
Items listed in the adult items category are not included in the New Items page, but they still appear in chronological order with a NEW icon in the appropriate section. They are also not included in the Hot Items section, nor are they available via any title search.
Notice to Sellers About Adult ItemsPlease take responsibility for your actions when listing such merchandise. Various legal statutes regulate the sale and distribution of adult materials. As stated in the User Agreement, your breach of these laws is a breach of the user agreement.
Please do not act irresponsibly by trying to auction items that belong in the adult items area in other areas of the site. This will result in your auction being relocated or ended and may possibly cause your suspension from the site.
Notice to Bidders and Buyers About Adult ItemsVarious legal statutes regulate the sale and distribution of adult materials. Please exercise caution and obey all applicable laws when dealing with sellers in this category. Please do not visit the adult items area if you do not want to see explicit materials
Fraud
Illegal Items
Please contact members before you begin your transaction. Most fraud complaints tend to be misunderstandings about the product, shipping terms, or shipping addresses. You should clarify all of these elements before you bid, and definitely before you send money. However, fraud is a reality of doing business, both on and off the Web, and you should report it to the authorities if it happens in our community.
Some items are not legal to sell at eBay. Please do not list an item that is illegal to sell. If you see an item that is potentially illegal, please report it using our webform. You can access our webform at: http://pages.ebay.com/help/contact_inline/index.html.Before listing wildlife or items containing wildlife products/parts, registered users should contact their nearest U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Law Enforcement Office and state wildlife regulatory agency to determine the legality of offering certain species of wildlife for auction.
Spam
Members of eBay do not tolerate spam. Do not add a member's email address to your address book unless you have permission from that member. Spam is unsolicited, commercial email.Defamation
Please be careful of what you say about other people online. Once you post on the discussion board or in the feedback forum, you cannot erase or delete what you have written.
