Teacher’s Edition Textbooks

Teacher’s editions of textbooks and solutions manuals that are intended solely for use by teachers are not permitted by eBay.

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

  • Listing cancellation

  • Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings

  • Limits on account privileges

  • Account suspension

Some Examples

Items that are prohibited:

  • Solutions manuals for teachers, teacher(s) manuals, instructor manuals are prohibited

  • A hardcopy of a teacher’s edition of a math book

  • A PDF, TIF version of a teacher’s edition of a textbook

  • An eBook version of a Teacher’s manual on a CD-R

Items that are allowed:

  • Solutions manuals for students

Additional Information

Teacher’s Edition textbooks are often clearly labeled as such but if you have any doubts, you should avoid selling the item on eBay. Teacher’s Edition textbooks often have special answer keys, exams, teaching tips, and guides to be solely utilized by the instructors of those courses.

Why does eBay have this policy?

Teachers editions are intended for teacher’s use and eBay believes in limiting the resale of those items as we are not equipped to verify if the buyer is a teacher or not.
