Enabling Duplication of Copy-Protected Material
| In this article |

Policy overview
Sellers can't list any items that enable people to duplicate copy-protected materials like music CDs, movie DVDs, video games, and software. Also, sellers can't encourage the use of items designed to bypass copy-protection measures.
Make sure your listing follows these guidelines. If it doesn't, it may be removed, and you may be subject to a range of other actions, including limits of your buying and selling privileges and suspension of your account.

Why does eBay have this policy? We require our members to follow all laws and regulations. Since the duplication of copy-protected materials is against the law, regulated, or may cause harm to our members, sellers can't list items on eBay that encourage such duplication.
