Used clothing policy

If you intend to sell on one or more of eBay's international sites, you will need to accept, and we encourage you to carefully review, the User Agreement, policies, and other requirements of that site. You can continue to reach out to the relevant customer service teams on the respective eBay site of your listing or transaction, as may be applicable to the nature of your query.

 

Policy overview

Used clothing (except underwear and socks) can be listed on eBay with restrictions. The item must be properly cleaned and the listing must clearly state that the item is used. eBay strictly prohibits the sale of used clothing listed with inappropriate images or content. 

Make sure your listing follows these guidelines. If it doesn't, it will be removed, and you may be subject to a range of other actions, including restrictions of your buying and selling privileges and permanent suspension of your account.
