As a seller, you are responsible for reviewing and understanding eBidDirect selling policies, as well as all applicable laws and regulations as outlined in the User Agreement.

Learning about eBidDirect selling policies before you list an item will help you to avoid unintentionally breaking rules. eBidDirect selling policies are updated to respond to marketplace, Community and security issues, so it is important to check them regularly for changes.

- Listing cancellation
- Limits on account privileges
- Account suspension

Rules about Prohibited and Restricted Items:
|
- Policies about listing items are often based on country and state laws. However,many restrictions may involve the sale of dangerous or sensitive items and are not necessarily prohibited by law. The limitations are the result of input by numerous stakeholders, including the Community. For example, see Offensive Material Policy.
- When selling across borders, be aware of international trading and import restrictions.Certain items may be legal in your country, but may be illegal elsewhere.
- Just because a particular type of item is listed below, it does not mean that it is completely prohibited. For example, in the Medical Devices Policy, many items are prohibited (for example, contact lenses), but many others are allowed – under certain circumstances (for example some medical instruments). When in doubt, you should read the policy page carefully. The policy pages contain these details under Additional Information and Examples.
- It is also important to review the Rules for Listings and the Rules about Intellectual Property to check if your type of item has additional restrictions that would affect your listing.
