It doesn't matter if you were saying real or authentic or not. Ebay doesn't allow fakes or counterfeits to be sold.
This is not Ebay's fault. Ebay expects sellers to know policy as to what is allowed to be sold here and what is not. If you don't, you can always search the help pages to find that info.
From the Policy/Help pages:
When you sell on eBay, be sure your items aren’t replicas, counterfeits, or unauthorized copies.
To report listings that offer counterfeit items or replicas, please contact us.
We have lots more detail on the types of products that are considered unauthorized in our guidelines below, but please be aware this isn't exhaustive list.
Selling such items can infringe on someone's copyright or trademark, which is against the law and eBay policy.
Frequently Asked QuestionsIf any listing has a false or misleading description of what the item truly is, then we will consider it to be fake, and is therefore not allowed on eBay. For example, if a listing for a DVD of a popular TV series claims to be an original, but is actually a pirated copy.
How do I know whether my item is an unauthorized copy?Sometimes it's hard to know whether something is unauthorized and consequently not allowed on eBay. If you're not sure, here are a couple of ways to think about it:
- If the product bears a brand name or logo, was it produced either by that company, or by an official partner of that company? If not, then it's unauthorized.
- For digital products, is it something you made and own the rights to - a photo you took, or a software program you wrote, for example. If so, then you can sell it. If you didn't snap the photo, or write the program, it could be an unauthorized copy.
You can also contact the rights owner to find out whether you are authorized to sell the item. Learn more in our Verified Rights Owner Program and intellectual property policy.
What should I do if I see a listing with a counterfeit item?Please report listings that offer counterfeit items or replicas.
