Selling Tobacco Internationally on eBay:  Please be aware that the above policies apply only to items for sale on the U.S. eBay site (eBay.com). These policies have been implemented due to the complexities of United States federal, state, and local laws. eBay may permit sales of tobacco on international sites to the extent appropriate under local laws. Please consult the rules of each site to determine what is allowed on that site.

Selling Tobacco Collectibles on eBay:  There may be instances where the particular collectible tobacco package is unopened and still contains tobacco. These sales of collectible tobacco items will be permitted as long as each of the following are met and addressed in the listing:

• The value of the item is in the collectible packaging, not in the tobacco itself.

• The listing description should state that the package has not been opened, but that the tobacco within is not for consumption.

• The collectible tobacco packaging must not be available at any retail outlet, and packaging must have a value that substantially exceeds the current retail price of that tobacco product in the package.

• Sellers must take steps to ensure that the buyer of these collectibles is at least 18 years of age.

• Buyers and sellers are responsible for ensuring that any transaction involving tobacco complies with all applicable laws and shipping regulations in carrying out the transaction.

eBay urges its sellers and buyers to comply with all governmental laws and regulations. Since the sale of tobacco is highly regulated, or may cause harm to eBay or its members, sellers are restricted in their listing of it on eBay.
