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.

Some Examples

The following examples breach eBay's Authenticity Disclaimer policy:

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

  • "Vintage Handbag Chanel???"

Additional Information

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