Services policy

The sale or offer of services that are illegal or sexual, or violate our user agreement, are not allowed on eBay.

To ensure eBay remains a safe and lawful marketplace, we don’t allow the sale or offer of services for personal or sexual relationships, advice, friendship on social media or traffic-drivers for websites.

What is the policy?

The following services are not allowed:

  • Personal relationships, including in-person or online relationships
  • Dating, sexual contact or escort services
  • Offer to become “friends” or “followers” on social media sites
  • Personal advice or coaching
  • Website traffic-driving services
  • Multi-level marketing programs
  • Get rich quick schemes

Activity on eBay is required to follow this policy, the eBay User Agreement and all applicable laws, as well as respect the rights of third parties. If it doesn’t, 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: Removing the listing or other content, issuing a warning, restricting activity or account suspension.

Why does eBay have this policy?

This policy helps you follow important government regulations and eBay’s user agreement while ensuring the marketplace remains safe for all users.
