Sellers who list accessory items that are intended to be
compatible with specific brands and/or models may identify
those brands or models in the listing title. However, sellers
may not mislead buyers into believing they could be purchasing
a product made by the same company that makes the brand or
model with which compatibility is claimed. To help avoid
confusion regarding who manufactured the accessory, sellers may
want to include words such as compatible or fits preceding the
brand/model names. credit pacific service union
It is the sellers responsibility to write a title and
description that ensure buyers are not confused over who is the
maker of the products offered. Some Examples:

Comparisons:
Sellers are not permitted to make comparisons between
items in a listing title. In the description only, sellers
are permitted to compare the item being offered to the
functionality of one other similar product, so long as the
listing is not misleading in any way as to which company
made the item offered. credit report service
The titles Leather Handbag, like Chanel ,
Leather Handbag, Chanel style , or Leather

they make comparisons between the appearance of the item being

Additional Information
?Category Guidelines All words used to
describe an item, whether in the title or description of the
item page or any other way that may be found using Search, must
be strictly related to the item being listed and adhere to the
guidelines below. eBay allows other non-relevant text to appear
in listings as long as that text is not searchable, which could
manipulate eBays search engine. consumer counseling credit inc
Motors:
With vehicular compatible items (such as Xenon headlights
for an automobile), reference to various compatible
brand/products may be included in the title, provided the title
still accurately describes what is being listed. In the same
scenario, reference to 25 compatible brands/products may be
included in the description. card credit fleet service
Books and other printed media:
Books and other forms of printed media may use the necessary
means to describe their contents. However, these items may not
use excessive keywords to do so. card consolidation credit
Catalogs:
Catalog titles and descriptions may not contain extensive
lists of specific items included within the catalog. credit free online report

Filmographies, discographies and
bibliographies:
Specific names, locations, etc. may be included in a
listing for a book, movie, or album. However excessive use
of keywords will not be permitted. credit federal first service
Keyword spamming results in a poor shopping and finding
experience for buyers since keyword spamming returns listings
in which the buyer may have no interest. Keyword spamming also
results in an unlevel playing field for sellers who do not
keyword spam and may receive fewer potential buyers. consumer credit service

Outside-of-eBay Offer
- Offering the opportunity through eBay to purchase the
item or other merchandise outside-of-eBay. The eBay item
page may not refer to or promote the seller s
individual Web site (including home page URLs which
directly or indirectly promote an outside-of-eBay website),
sales outside of eBay, or other businesses. However,
sellers may include links to their eBay Store and eBay
Store items, provided that those links are not URL
redirects. Please see the complete Offers to Buy or
Sell Outside of eBay policy. credit service union worker
Unreasonable shipping or handling costs
- The seller may dd a reasonable shipping and handling fee
to the final price of the item, but may not charge excessive
shipping and handling fees, excessive required insurance fees,
or excessive (or not applicable) taxes in an effort to make the
item appear artificially inexpensive, to avoid eBay fees, or
for any other purposes. A shipping and handling fee may cover
the seller s reasonable costs for mailing, packaging, and
handling the item. Shipping and handling fees may not be listed
as a percentage of the final sale price. Please see the
complete Excessive Shipping and Handling
policy for more details. 1st credit service union
Listings with additional purchases
- Listing an item that requires or offers an additional
purchase. Outside of reasonable charges for shipping, handling,
insurance, and taxes, the buyer must not be required to pay an
additional amount or sign up for a service or any other
required action not relevant to the transaction for something
as a condition for receiving the item or receiving the benefit
of the item. For example, travel certificates that require the
holder to buy or pay for something (such as a hotel room for
seven nights) as a condition of receiving the benefit of the
coupon (such as free or discounted airfare). card chase credit customer
Multiple Item Listing (Dutch) Avoidance
- Listing a single item and offering additional identical
items for sale in the item description. In these situations,
the seller typically instructs buyers to indicate the number of
items they want, and states that they can get the same price as
the item in the listing. An example of a violation would be a
carpet seller listing one square foot for $6 and allowing the
buyer to purchase as many as they like at the same price. This
would be listing a single item and offering additional
identical items for sale in the item description. In single
item listings, you may not instruct buyers to indicate the
number of items they want even if you state that they can get
the same price as the item in the listing. Instead, you should
list a Multiple Item Auction, also known as a
Dutch Auction, or a fixed price listing with multiple
quantities. card chase credit service
Choice Listings
- A listing where a seller allows buyers to choose from a
selection of items. Choice listings can be problematic because
of the potential for fee circumvention, transactions outside of
eBay, and other issues. Choice listings are generally not
allowed and will be ended. For example, a seller offering an
auction-style listing and letting the winning buyer choose from
a selection of kitchen sinks would not be permitted. Each one
of the available kitchen sinks should be listed as a separate
item on eBay. Examples of listings that would be permitted:
choice of color only in a multiple-quantity listing (e.g. dutch
auction, multiple-item fixed price or store). Second, choice of
size in custom-made items or services that are made according
to the buyers specifications (including re-sizing of rings).
Please see the complete Choice Listings olicy

Email address, phone number or domain name in the
title, subtitle, item location, or images
? Listings with ontact information?including home page
URLs which directly or indirectly promote an outside-of-eBay
website) in the title, subtitle, item location or images are
not permitted. Exception: This will be
permissible only in listings that are offering a domain name
for sale. credit plus service union
Catalog Sales
- Listings of catalogs from which buyers may directly order
items are prohibited. In these situations, the seller will
typically offer the catalog for low bid prices and complete
sales outside of eBay for items found in the catalog. Old or
collectible catalogs (from which you can no longer place an
order) are permissible. For example, a Sears catalog from 1931
would be considered an old and collectible catalog because you
can no longer order items from it. However, a current catalog
from Eddie Bauer (or one where items may currently be ordered)
is not permitted. Please see the complete Catalog Sales
policy for more details. credit farm service
Reserve Fee Avoidance
- Canceling bids and ending a listing early because the
seller s desired price has not been met. Sellers who do not
want to sell an item below a certain price should use the
reserve price option or set their starting price at the minimum
price they are willing to accept. Please see the complete
Reserve Price Violations policy. 1st credit federal service
Want ads and trades
- Listings that advertise a desire to buy or trade items are
not allowed. The purpose of the listing page is to describe the
item for sale and not to trade for or look for other items.
Listings that are advertisements for buying or trading items
provide a poor buying experience and make it harder for all
members to sell items. To address members desire to post want
ads, eBay created the Want it Now area, where these types of
postings are permitted and encouraged. Please see the complete
Want It Now policy for more details. credit paychex service tax
Payment Surcharges
- Although sellers may offer a discount to the buyer for
preferred forms of payment, sellers may not charge eBay buyers
an additional fee for their use of ordinary forms of payment,
including acceptance of checks, money orders, electronic
transfers or credit cards. Furthermore, some forms of payment
surcharges, such as credit card surcharges, are forbidden under
the laws of many states, including California. Please see the
complete Payment Surcharges policy. credit service tax
Miscategorization of items
- Listing items that are outside of the appropriate category
and belong in a flat fee category, such as homes and vehicles,
is a form of Fee Circumvention and is not permitted. aeon credit service
Extension of Listings
- eBay listings (both auctions and fixed price
listings) have a fixed duration. eBay may on rare occasions
(for example, as the result of a site outage) extend the
duration of a listing. Extension of listing duration by a
seller, via either manual actions or the use of automated
tools, is not permitted. Extension of listings by a seller for
any reason is not only a form of fee avoidance, but also harms
the finding experience for buyers. credit one service union
Warranties
- A warranty is an additional purchase for the buyer. You
may offer an optional warranty or service (e.g. installation)
to complement the item in order to provide better service for
the buyer. However, the optional warranty or service must be
directly related to the item and may not: substantially alter
the value of the item, be an additional item, be excessive in
price, or cause the listing to have an artificially low price.
Additionally, eBay members who offer items on eBay valued at
more than $15 and who offer either a written warranty or
service contract with the items, must in their item
descriptions provide one of the following: bad cell credit phone service
The full text of the written warranty counseling credit debt service

Additional Information
?Although there are legitimate reasons for ending
a listing early, eBay will investigate sellers who
abuse this option. Note: Posts made in eBays

posts that violate this policy may be removed. Repeated
violations may result in suspension. You can report a Want It

Why does eBay have this policy
?Listings that circumvent (avoid) fees may provide a poor
buying experience and always unlevel the playing field by
putting sellers who pay all their eBay fees at a disadvantage.
These listings undermine the trust and legitimacy of eBays
marketplace. Additionally, even though offers to buy or sell
outside of eBay are not always made with the intent to defraud,
there is always a significant level of risk involved. Please be
aware that items purchased as a result of an outside of eBay
