| Bonus,
Prize, Giveaway and Raffle Policy |
|
eBay does not permit
listings that promote giveaways, random drawings, raffles,
or prizes, because these promotions are highly regulated and
may be unlawful in many states. eBay itself may run such promotions
on the site, and may grant authorization to its partners or
third party companies to run promotions that comply with applicable
laws.
eBay does not permit bonus listings in which the seller does
not state the exact amount at which the bonus will apply,
or Multiple Item Listings in which the exact same bonus is
not offered to all buyers.
- Listing cancellation
- Limits on account privileges
- Account suspension
- Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings
- Loss of PowerSeller status

Bonuses
It is generally permissible for sellers to offer a bonus item
to bidders within their listing as long as the following requirements
are met:
- In all bonus listings, the seller must state the exact
price at which the bonus will apply. For example, it is
not permissible to state, "I will throw in a state-of-the-art
black and white TV if bidding reaches a high enough amount."
It is permissible to state, "I will throw in a state-of-the-art
black and white TV if bidding reaches $150."
- In Multiple Item Listings the seller must offer the
exact same bonus item to ALL buyers. Multiple Item Listing
rules require that all buyers receive identical items.
Conditional bonuses, free gifts, and other items that do not
significantly affect the value of the item for sale may not
be included in the title of the listing. |

| Why
does eBay have this policy? |
|
|
eBay urges its sellers and buyers to comply with all governmental
laws and regulations. Since raffles, bonuses, and giveaways
are regulated or may cause harm to eBay or its members, sellers
may not list them on eBay. |
