Items You Can’t Sell On Ebay
You can sell almost anything under the
sun on eBay, but there are some items you cannot sell. Even being the biggest
online shopping mall, it has its own limitations. You'll find an endless list
of categories available for products you can sell on eBay such as art,
antiques, baby, boats, business, camera, clothing, accessories, cell phones,
computers, DVD’s, gift certificates, music, real estate, etc., but there
are 12 specific items, which you just cannot sell at eBay.
The
‘Can’t Sell’ List
It is important for you to follow the
guidelines as selling items from the Cant Sell list might lead you straight to
a federal prison. Now that is as serious as it can get. Let us look at the cant
sell items:
- Bootlegs
Bootlegs are
generally the rare music CDs, rare movie footages etc. But bootlegs are also
movies shot through a home video camera by a person who for all you know is
your next-door neighbor. There is a large-scale production going on in Asia and
US jurisdiction does not apply there. So No bootlegs are allowed on EBay.
- Copies
Copies of computer
software are abundant and you can find them in Asian markets. It is not just
the software but the black markets also sell copies of some of the best PC
games too. These copied items are not allowed on eBay. Whatever you sell on
Ebay has to be original.
- The Replica Market
This
is quite similar to copy and yet different. Many people would replicate a Gucci
handbag or a RayBans sunglass. Although they are openly sold in stores all
across the US, but they are definitely forbidden for sale at eBay.
- Stealing Copyright
Many
people even go to the length of stealing copyright material from other sellers.
This kind of material is a no-no at eBay.
- Alcohol
Sale of alcohol
and alcoholic beverages are banned at eBay.
- Smoking is injurious for
health
EBay does not allow sales of cigarette or any kind of tobacco
products.
- Firearms
Weapons of
destruction as we call it are regulated by US law and cannot be sold on eBay.
- De-scramblers
Satellite
de-scramblers and cable TV de-scramblers cannot be sold at eBay.
- Animal Products
There are
organizations fighting to save wild animals and birds from near extinction. It
is not allowed to sell any product made from animals or their skin on eBay.
- Tickets
There are state
laws on tickets such as a Florida law that states tickets cannot be sold for
more than the face value plus $1. Since there are state-to-state restrictions,
hence they cannot be sold at eBay.
- Catalogues
Selling one
item is one thing but selling an entire catalogue is a different ball game. The
only catalogues that can be sold at eBay are those dealing with collectible
items.
- Prizes
Last but not the
least, putting up prizes at eBay are prohibited.
So What Can You Sell on Ebay

research, products purchased by women account for the largest growth. Some
popular products that have recently logged more than 10% of overall sales are
computer hardware & software, travel related stuff, books are a favorite
always, consumer electronics, cosmetics, toys, fragrances, video games, gifts
etc.
Then there is the eBay pulse where you will get to see the top 10
searched categories, list of stores, most watched auctions etc. You can even
have your own online garage sale on eBay. The avenues and opportunities are as
big as the market is. There are no limits to what you can really sell and how
much you can really earn on eBay.
