Prohibited items

Never allowed

These categories may never be listed, regardless of region: illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia; weapons, ammunition and explosives (except where lawfully eligible under Restricted items with the necessary approvals); stolen goods; counterfeit goods; fraudulent documents and credentials; malware and hacking tools; dangerous or radioactive materials; illegal services and human trafficking; content that is unlawful, hateful or exploits people; and endangered or protected wildlife and related products.

Pets and animals

For animal listings, prohibited: protected or endangered species; animals whose trade is illegal in the relevant region; animal fighting — including fighting animals and equipment for fighting; cruelty-related services; and listings that encourage abusive or dangerous treatment of animals. See also Animal welfare.

Regional rules

Some countries add restrictions that apply locally. Where a category has a region-specific rule, it is described in Restricted items.
