Authenticity Disclaimers


Sellers may not disclaim knowledge of, or responsibility for, the authenticity or legality of the items offered in their listings.

Sellers should take steps to satisfy themselves that their items are authentic before listing them on eBay. If you cannot verify the authenticity of an item, do not list it.

Examples
The following examples violate eBay's Authenticity Disclaimer Policy:

  • "I cannot guarantee the authenticity of this item, so please bid accordingly."
  • "Vintage Handbag Chanel???"

Warning
The repeated use of authenticity disclaimers could result in the ending of your listings and possible suspension from eBay.
