If you will it... it is no dream

I don't think that weapons are allowed to be sold, or any sort of items that deal with hate groups.

Prohibited and restricted items

Prohibited and restricted items

Policies about listing items are often based on country and state laws. However, many restrictions involve the sale of controversial or sensitive items and are not necessarily prohibited by law. The limitations are a result of input by the eBay Community.

There are three aspects of item restrictions – prohibited, questionable, and potentially infringing items.

Prohibited –- These items may not be listed on eBay.

Examples of listings that are not allowed include:


  • Items that are illegal or that encourage illegal activity.

  • Items that are racially or ethnically inappropriate. For policy and examples, see Offensive Material Policy.

  • Listings that do not offer an item or service for sale. For policy and examples, see Listing No Item.

  • Services that are illegal, sexual in nature or that violate eBay’s User Agreement. For policy and examples, see Prohibited Services.

  • Listings that promote giveaways, random drawings, raffles, or prizes. For policy and examples, see Bonus, Prize, Giveaway and Raffle Policy.

Questionable –-These items may be listed under certain conditions .

Examples of listings that are not allowed include:


  • Listings of perishable items and do not identify in the item description the measures the seller will take to ensure that the goods are delivered to the buyer safely. For policy and examples, see Food.

  • Listing a reproduction of a Native American item and not listing it in the "Reproductions" section under the Native Americana category. For policy and examples, see Artifacts.

Other polices involving questionable items include Pre-Sale Listings, Vehicle, Vehicle Equipment and Device Listings, and Cell Phone (Wireless) Service Contracts.

Potentially infringing –- These items may be in violation of certain copyrights, trademarks, or other rights. Some items are not allowed, even though they may be legal, because they almost always violate copyright or trademark laws.

Examples of listings that are not allowed include:


  • Listings with counterfeit or bootleg items (counterfeits, replicas and unauthorized copies).

  • Listings that include disclaimers of knowledge of, or responsibility for, the authenticity or legality of the items offered in their listings. For policy and examples, see Authenticity Disclaimers.

To avoid creating listings that would infringe upon intellectual property rights, see Protecting Intellectual Property Rights. You can also take eBay's tutorial on Intellectual Property Policies and VeRO.

Important: Protection of intellectual property also extends to each member’s listings. eBay members are not allowed to use another eBay user's pictures or descriptions in their listings or About Me page without the owner's permission (see Item Description and Picture Theft).

Note: Even if you offer to give away for "free" (rather than sell) a prohibited, questionable, or infringing item, this will not relieve you of potential liability. This applies to both seller and buyer.

See Prohibited and Restricted Items-Overview.

Ravidor nailed the answer. Illegal items, racial items, no item, illegal services and promotion of giveaways. I think racial items may be sold if your listing does not metion racial slurrs. I think promotion of giveaways may also be sold, but the item for sale must be legitimate and worth monetary value. For example, sell 10 California lottery scratch offs that have not been scratched yet.
