      Violence and violent criminals policy

      Listings that promote or glorify violence or violent acts, or are associated with individuals who are notorious for committing violent acts, are not allowed.

      What is the policy?

      Sellers can't list the following types or similar types of items or information:

      • Items that promote or glorify violence towards humans or animals
      • Films, images, or devices that contain or claim to contain real acts of violence, rape, execution, torture, crime scenes, morgues, dead bodies or body parts of dead persons
      • Items closely associated with or that benefit violent felons, their acts, or crime scenes within the past 100 years

      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?

      Out of respect for victims of violent crimes, this policy helps ensure that our marketplace promotes safety, trust, and respect, and follows government regulations.
