Adult Only Category Policy

Materials adult in nature or otherwise inappropriate for minors (individuals under 18 years of age) may not be listed on the main site, but may be permitted in our Everything Else: Adult Only category (previously called Mature Audiences category).

Mainstream media (movies, music (CDs, MP3s), video games, books, magazines) are treated differently by this policy. eBay may use industry catalogs and rating systems such as the MPAA, IMDb, and ESRB to define which items are mainstream. For example, movies with an X rating and video games with an Adult Only (AO) rating are not permitted on the main site, but may be listed in Adult Only. Any media item available in the eBay pre-filled catalog is acceptable.

Profanity

eBay will permit media titles and descriptions (such as a CD name and track list) that contain profanity on the main site and in Adult Only. This profanity is only permitted if the original production company title or description contains the profane terms. All other profanity is prohibited. This exception applies to media items and does not apply to any other items.
What types of items are permitted on the main site?

Some examples include:

*

Pre-1980 Playboy, Playgirl and Penthouse magazines. These magazines may be listed only in the Magazine Back Issues: Other category.
*

Video games rated Mature.
*

Unrated DVDs that originally had an MPAA rating.
*

Profanity if it is the original part of the title or description of a DVD or CD.
*

Any media item available in the eBay pre-fill catalog.

What must be listed in the Everything Else: Adult Only category?

Some examples include:

*

Any items that require individuals to be 18 or older to view or purchase those materials.
*

Any items designed for use in sexual/adult activity, including items used for bondage, S&M or other similar activities.
*

Post-1980 Playboy, Playgirl, Penthouse and other adult magazines.
*

X-rated movies or movies designed for an ?Adult? audience.
*

AO video games.
*

Any listing that contains images of frontal nudity or of any form of sexual activity, with limited exceptions.

Important: PayPal and ProPay may not be used to pay for any item listed in eBay?s Adult Only category. Personal checks and money orders are permitted as payment methods for this category. For more details, see Accepted Payments Policy.

The eBay website is used by people from around the world. Many countries have laws regulating adult material that are more strict than those in the United States, and the law regulating the sale of such items through the Internet across national borders is not always clear. eBay is concerned that some items listed in Adult Only may raise legal issues in some of these countries, and for protection of its members does not permit our international members to access the adult portion of the site. In addition, for those adult items permitted on the main eBay site, we require that sellers select only shipping to the United States.
Requirements to use the Adult Only category

eBay requires members to provide credit card information or alternative verification to access Adult Only, which helps ensure that minors are not freely accessing adult material.

Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:

*

Listing cancellation.
*

Limits on account privileges.
*

Account suspension.
*

Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings.
*

Loss of PowerSeller status.

Accepted Payments Policy

eBay wants to help ensure that the marketplace offers buyers safer online payment choices.

Enforcement grace period for sellers: Starting October 20, 2008 only permitted payment methods will be displayed in the payment details section of listings. Sellers will need to remove all references to non-permitted payment methods from item descriptions. We know that this is a busy time of year for sellers, so to allow sufficient time to change templates, we will wait until January 15, 2009 before we begin taking action against sellers soliciting non-permitted payment methods within the item description of listings.

Misleading & Discouraging Payments

Sellers must clearly state the payment methods that they accept and may not include generalized statements soliciting buyers to contact them for additional payment methods.

Sellers who state in their listing that they accept certain payment methods must not selectively offer those payment methods to buyers or discourage buyers from using those payment methods.

This means that sellers must always accept payment from buyers through the payment methods they have selected in their Payment Details section of their listing, including PayPal, and must not act in any way to discourage buyers from paying by these methods.

This policy is not only limited to communications made in listings, but also includes all correspondence between a seller and buyer that relates to an eBay transaction.

Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions including:

*

Listing cancellation
*

Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings
*

Limits on account privileges
*

Loss of PowerSeller status
*

Account suspension
