Stolen property policy
Policy overviewWe don't allow the sale of stolen property on eBay because it violates local and international law. We also strongly support efforts by law enforcement to investigate attempts to sell stolen property on our site. If we see this activity taking place, we'll proactively work with law enforcement and help in their efforts to investigate and prosecute members who violate this policy. Make sure your listing follows these guidelines. If it doesn't, it may be removed, and you may be subject to a range of other actions, including limits of your buying and selling privileges and suspension of your account. What are the guidelines?
If you think another eBay member has stolen your item descriptions or pictures: See our images and text policy. If you think your intellectual property rights have been violated: Find out more about our Verified Rights Owner (VeRO) program.
We urge sellers and buyers to comply with all government laws and regulations. Selling stolen items is against the law, and we don't allow these items on eBay. | ![]() | Contact usHave a question?
