Prohibited and restricted items
Restricted inventory rules protect buyers, sellers, hubs, and staff by keeping unsafe or illegal goods out of listing, auction, pickup, and event flows.
Blocked Items
- Illegal goods, stolen property, counterfeit items, unsafe items, fraudulent documents, and prohibited weapons.
- Items that cannot be legally shipped, transferred, verified, or safely handled should not appear in the marketplace.
- Category pages should show accepted inventory separately from restricted inventory.
Listing Checks
- Restricted terms, weak photos, suspicious pricing, and category mismatch can move listings into review.
- Staff can remove listings from feed, search, auction, pickup, saved search, and promotion.
- Seller receives a clear reason and next step when an item is held.
Hub Intake
- Counter staff reject restricted goods before condition photos, packing, or pickup release.
- Rejected intake records keep item type, seller, reason, and staff note.
- Live drops only include eligible inventory.
Seller Impact
- First-time errors can route to education and listing correction.
- Repeated or serious violations can reduce visibility, pause listings, or block selling access.
- Operator queue keeps the evidence, owner, and escalation state visible.
Blocked Digital Items
- Whole accounts, shared accounts, recovery credentials, license keys, copied files, off-platform delivery, and screenshots offered as ownership proof are prohibited.
- Account-bound, soulbound, trade-locked, region-blocked, age-restricted, cash-equivalent, or publisher-unsupported items cannot be listed.
- Only an active publisher permission program and authoritative ownership and transfer service can unlock a supported digital item.
