It is important to familiarise yourself with eBay's listing policies before posting an item. You'll have a safe and fun selling experience knowing that your listing complies with community standards and guidelines
 Fee Circumvention
What is this policy?
Members may not use systems or techniques to circumvent eBay fees.
How does this policy get violated?
- Offering in a listing the opportunity to purchase the item or other merchandise outside of eBay.
- Listings with low prices but unreasonably high shipping or handling costs.
- Listing an item that requires or offers an additional purchase. Example: travel certificates that require holder to buy or pay for something (i.e. 7 nights hotel room) as a condition of receiving the benefit of the coupon (i.e. free or discounted airfare).
- Dutch Avoidance - listing a single item and offering additional identical items for sale in the item description. In these situations, the seller typically instructs buyers to indicate the number of items they want, and states that they can get the same price as the item in the listing.
- Listings with an e-mail address or domain name in the title. Exception: This will be permissible only in listings that are offering a domain name for sale.
- Catalogue Sales - listings of catalogues from which buyers may directly order items are prohibited. In these situations, the seller will typically offer the catalogue for low bid prices and complete sales outside of eBay for items found in the catalog. Old, collectable catalogues (i.e., those that you cannot order from any longer) are permissible.
- Offering items for sale in a manner that circumvents eBay fees
Violations of this policy may result in one or more actions, including:
- Listings that circumvent eBay fees are not permitted and will be ended
- Disciplinary action may result in the indefinite suspension of a user's account, temporary suspension, or a formal warning
- eBay will consider the circumstances of an alleged offense and the user's trading records before taking action
*** The insertion fee will be automatically credited for that listing.
