The sale of tobacco is highly regulated, and may cause harm to eBay members, so we do not allow tobacco products to be listed.
What is the policy?
The following or similar items are not allowed:
- Cigarettes, cigars, nicotine pouches and loose tobacco
- Herbal cigarettes or herbal tobacco (sometimes called nicotine-free or tobacco-free cigarettes or shisha)
- Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) including e-cigarettes, e-liquids and e-cigarette parts
- Accessories for e-cigarettes
The following are exceptions that can be listed:
- Collectible/vintage packages
- Nicotine patches or gum
- Tobacco seeds
Activity on eBay is required to:
- Follow all applicable laws
- Respect the rights of third parties
- Follow the eBay User Agreement
- Follow this eBay policy
If activity doesn’t meet these requirements, 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: administratively ending listings or canceling transactions, hiding or lowering the placement of listings in search results, lowering seller rating, restricting buying or selling, forfeiture of fees, loss of buyer or seller protections, restricting access to member communication and rating tools, removing feedback, and account suspension.
