Government and Transit Documents

Any official internal, non-public documents, manuals, or other materials related to mass commercial public transportation, including internal manuals put out by commercial airlines, or entities operating subways, trains, or buses are not permitted on eBay.

Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:

  • Listing cancellation

  • Limits on account privileges

  • Account suspension

  • Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings

  • Loss of PowerSeller status

Some Examples

The following are examples of items that may not be listed on eBay:

  • Blueprints or schematics of airports, subway systems or train stations

  • Design plans of commercial airline jets or engines

Why does eBay have this policy?

eBay urges its sellers and buyers to comply with all governmental laws and regulations. Since the sale of non-public government and transit documents are prohibited by law, regulated, or may cause harm to eBay or its members, sellers may not list them on eBay.
