Prohibited and Restricted Items
The Marketplace maintains a list of prohibited or restricted items (certain regulated materials, counterfeit goods, items requiring special licensing) — vendors are responsible for knowing and following these restrictions, not assuming any product is automatically allowed.
Intellectual Property and Authenticity
Listings must represent genuine, authentic products — misrepresenting a replica or unofficial product as an authentic branded item is both a policy violation and a serious trust breach with buyers.
Consequences of Policy Violations
Policy violations can range from listing removal to account suspension, depending on severity and whether the violation is a first occurrence or a repeated pattern — understanding this range helps vendors take compliance seriously from the start.
Staying Current With Policy Updates
Marketplace policies can be updated over time, so vendors should periodically review current policy rather than assuming the rules they learned during onboarding remain unchanged indefinitely.
