Certain items cannot be traded on eBay. These differ slightly from site to site. Please don't attempt to sell items on each site's Prohibited Items list as your eBay account could get suspended.
Prohibited Items lists of key eBay sites:
It's also important to respect the import laws of a buyer's country and your own country's export laws.
Here're some things you can do to avoid selling items that aren't allowed by law:
  • Research relevant import and export laws
  • Communicate with buyers in other countries to discuss potential problems before closing a listing
  • Communicate with buyers if an item you've despatched is having trouble clearing customs
A useful reference is the United States Postal Service® Web site. Here, you'll be able to check if your item is legal to import to a specific country.
