eBay Adds Vehicle-Related Items to Its List of Prohibited Items
By Ina Steiner AuctionBytes.com January 14, 2003
eBay has added to its list of items that its sellers are prohibited from selling on the auction site. "With the considerable growth of the eBay Motors site and in accordance with our ongoing cooperation with government agencies, we have recently added Vehicle-related policies to our Prohibited and Questionable Items List page," the eBay announcement stated.
The new vehicle-related policies deal with items such as used airbags, odometer modification devices, radar detectors, imported & emission non-compliant vehicles, license plates and catalytic converters.
eBay's list of prohibited and questionable items includes "Human Parts and Remains" and "Offensive Material." Several days ago, eBay pulled an auction that listed a "family of four." Write Steve Young was hoping to attract a patron and provide a family in return, complete with homemade birthday cards from his two children and other "family" services.
