How to sell permitted cosmetics and perfumes
Cosmetics and perfumes that we allow, including handmade cosmetics and perfumes, may be sold only if the products and their listings follow applicable laws and policies, including those of the cosmetics regulators. For example, cosmetic products and perfumes that are offered and sold using trademarks (such as names or logos) must follow federal and state trademark law and the Counterfeit item policy.
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 to ensure that sellers follow important legal regulations so that all eBay users can choose from safe and legally compliant products and any rights of third parties are protected.
