Categorisation of Listings
Items must be listed in the appropriate category. Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:
Limits on account privileges
Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings
Loss of PowerSeller status
A silver necklace should be listed in the jewellery category, not in consumer electronics.
A cookbook should be listed in the books category, not in sports memorabilia.
Services must be listed appropriately in the Services category and should not be listed in an item category. You may list a Service in more than one category within Services only.
Guidelines for listing items are outlined in the eBay User Agreement.
Australian members are not permitted to buy or sell items on the eBay, US (www.ebay.com) Mature Audience Category. Items listed on the eBay Australia site must be listed in accordance with the eBay Australia Mature Audience Material Policy.
Why does eBay have this policy?
Categorising items in an inappropriate category results in a poor shopping and finding experience for buyers since incorrect categorisation returns listings in which the buyer may have no interest. Incorrect categorisation also results in an unlevel playing field for sellers who categorise their items appropriately and may receive fewer potential buyers.
