Want Success on eBay? Avoid Selling These Items 🚫
🪑 Furniture or heavy items: One of the key things that novice sellers often forget is how shipping costs eat into profits. And this doesn’t just include the actual shipping charge itself, but all the requisite materials (boxes, bubble wrap, etc.) for shipping fragile items.
💧 Liquids: While eBay does have some allowances for selling wine, it’s generally discouraged from selling anything in liquid form on the platform. This includes beauty products, beverages, or anything that has the potential of spilling or combusting during shipment.
💻 Digital or electronically delivered items: The prominence of digital products such as online courses, eBooks, and software enhancements has skyrocketed over the past decade.
⚠️ Illicit items: Let’s just get the obvious one out of the way. This is a catch-all for listings that are explicitly illegal, forged, stolen, or deceptive.
📻 CB and HAM radios: eBay is truly a hobbyist paradise. Whether you’re into fixing broken computers, collecting interesting musical instruments, or sourcing vintage antiques, eBay has something for everyone.
🐾 Anything alive: It’s alarming that this has historically been a real issue, but please don’t try to sell your cat on eBay.
🍲 Foods: Anytime you’re shipping consumable products, you’re assuming more risk. Risk of spoiling, risk of getting customers sick, and liability with managing perishable inventory.
🌡️ Medical devices: Perfect candidate for eBay, right? Unfortunately, not. eBay strictly forbids listing these items or any medical item that requires a prescription.
🔫 Firearm accessories: While eBay strictly forbids the selling of fi****ms on their platform, they make certain allowances for firearm accessories.
