While we recognize that some historical grave markers may be privately held within families and legal to sell, eBay is concerned with vandalism that has occurred in graveyards across the world, and consequently prohibits their sale.
What is the policy?
Used funeral items such as headstones, markers, or urns are not allowed
Sellers can list new funeral items as long as they’ve never been used, such as:
- Burial plots
- Caskets
- Gravestones
- Headstones
- Tombstones
- Urns
Activity on eBay is required to follow this policy, the eBay User Agreement and all applicable laws, as well as respect the rights of third parties. If it doesn’t, eBay may take action consistent with applicable laws and the eBay User Agreement, and may even be legally required to do so. Such actions may include, as an example only: Removing the listing or other content, issuing a warning, restricting activity or account suspension.
Why does eBay have this policy?
This policy helps discourage the vandalism of graveyards and ensures our buyers and sellers follow government regulations.
