Used clothing (except underwear) may be listed on eBay as long as the clothing has been thoroughly cleaned according to the manufacturer's instructions. Listings that contain inappropriate descriptions will be ended.
Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:
Joe lists his old sweater for sale on eBay. A buyer won the item and Joe sent the sweater to the winning buyer. Unfortunately, Joe did not have the sweater dry cleaned before he sent it to the winning buyer. In this case, Joe has violated eBay policy.
Henry listed a pair of his used underwear on eBay. Since this is not permitted, Henry has violated eBay policy.
Used underwear including, but not limited to boxer shorts, panties, briefs and athletic supporters are not permitted
Why does eBay have this policy?
eBay urges its sellers and buyers to comply with all governmental laws and regulations. Furthermore, due to hygiene concerns, eBay does not permit the sale of used underwear. Since the sale of used underwear or unwashed clothing may cause harm to eBay or its members, sellers may not list them on eBay.
