All listings and products on eBay.co.uk must offer a physical, tangible item. Listings and products that don’t can be confusing for customers and can increase the risk of fraud.
What is the policy?
Intangible items or things that buyers can’t confirm that they’ve received are not allowed. For example:
- A ghost in a jar
- Someone’s soul
- Spells or haunted items
Activity on eBay is required to follow this policy, the eBay User Agreement and all applicable laws, as well as respect the rights of third parties. If it doesn’t, eBay may take action consistent with applicable laws and the eBay User Agreement, and may even be legally required to do so. Such actions may include, as an example only: Removing the listing or other content, issuing a warning, restricting activity or account suspension.
