Shipping hazardous materials
Complying with hazardous materials requirements means correctly labeling and packaging your items in addition to abiding by eBay’s and your carrier’s specific hazmat requirements. Not following instructions could result in the carrier rejecting the package, delaying the delivery, confiscating the item and/or imposing fines.
