Warranties

eBay members who offer items on eBay valued at more than $15 and who offer either a written warranty or service contract with the items must in their item descriptions provide one of the following:

  • The full text of the written warranty

  • A statement explaining how a free copy of the written warranty can be obtained upon written request

  • A link within the listing that takes members to the warranty details

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

Additional Information

Members should read more about The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a federal law enforced by the Federal Trade Commission.

Why does eBay have this policy?

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