Understanding how intellectual property can impact you

What you need to know
Whether you're listing new items, resolving a removal, or just staying up to date on eBay’s policies, understanding intellectual property (IP) is key for any seller. eBay’s updated the Help and Seller Center pages with tools and tips to protect your business from potential violations, from using brand names correctly to the importance of only listing authentic products.
Intellectual property compliance
Brand names, logos, images and even product descriptions owned by a third party are all examples of IP. eBay, as required by law, gives brands, manufacturers, and rights owners control over how these assets are used by allowing them or their representatives to report listings they believe infringe on their IP rights.
If a listing is flagged or removed because of an IP violation, you’ll get a clearer explanation and better guidance on ways to resolve or appeal the decision.
Protecting your listings
eBay's always working to make it easier to navigate the complexities of intellectual property, and maintain transparency and fair treatment for eBay sellers. Here are a few things to remember when creating your listings:
- Use your own photos or photos you have the rights to when creating your listings
- You can also pull from the eBay product catalog for images and even product descriptions
- If you sell brand-name products, review the relevant VeRO participant profiles for guidance on proper use
- Keep your listings clear and accurate so buyers know exactly what to expect
Next steps
Check out eBay updated Help and Seller Center pages to learn more, and get familiar with eBay Intellectual property policy.
