Government and Transit Documents

Any article of clothing or identification relating to transport security or employment with the transport industry is not permitted on eBay.com.au. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Articles of commercial airline pilot's uniforms

  • Steward or stewardess uniforms

  • Baggage or airport service uniforms

  • Mass transit train or subway related uniforms

  • Official internal, non-public documents and manuals

  • Materials related to mass commercial public transport, including internal manuals published by commercial airlines, or entities operating subways, trains or buses

Vintage commercial airline clothing, such as ties, scarves, jackets and similar items, may be sold as long as the item description clearly states that the item is at least 10 years old, is no longer in use by the airline and does not resemble any piece of the airline's current uniform.

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

Some Examples

The following are examples of items that may not be listed on eBay:

  • Qantas tickets or flight vouchers, Qantas Frequent Flyer points or award certificates, Qantas Club guest passes

  • Blueprints or schematics of airports, subway systems or train stations

  • Design plans of commercial airline jets or engines

  • Airline or mass transit organisation uniforms

  • Manuals designed to teach usage of mass transit systems

  • Arial maps of sensitive establishments (decided at eBay's discretion)

Why does eBay have this policy?

eBay urges its sellers and buyers to comply with all governmental laws and regulations. Since the sale of non-public government and transit documents are prohibited by law, regulated, or may cause harm to eBay or its members, sellers may not list them on eBay.
