Listings of catalogs
from which buyers may directly order are not permitted.
Old and collectible catalogs (from which you can no longer
place an order) are permissible. However, the title or description
may not contain extensive lists of specific items included
in the catalog. Sellers wishing to list these catalogs should
review the �Additional Information� section below and adhere
to its policies.
Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions,
including:
- Listing cancellation
- Limits on account privileges
- Account suspension
- Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings
- Loss of PowerSeller status
|
|
|
- �Current Spring Catalog, Buy It Now (BIN) for $0.99�
is a violation because it is a current catalog from which
a buyer may directly order.
- �Catalog from 1939� is permitted because it is an old
or collectible catalog where items can no longer be ordered,
and the listing does not contain an extensive list of
brand names, items, categories, or prices.

Requirements for selling catalogs
Old and collectible catalog listings must abide by the following
guidelines:
- The seller of old and collectible catalogs may not benefit
from any subsequent sales from suppliers.
- No extensive lists of specific brand names, items, categories
or prices may be used in the title or description of the
item listing (e.g. Sony, Prada, Gucci, Handbags for $29.95).
Any additional information or categories sellers wish
to provide should be provided through a �further information�
link allowed on all listings. Before adding a �further
information� link to your item listings page, please review
the eBay links
policy. Old and collectible catalogs may not
be combined as a bonus item with any other listing.

| Why
does eBay have this policy? |
|
|
Listings that offer catalogs clutter the site making it harder
for buyers to find relevant items and harder for sellers to
sell actual items. Furthermore, these listings undermine the
trust and legitimacy of eBay�s marketplace. |
