Prohibited Items Policy
Version 1 · Effective 21/9/2026
Listing a prohibited item will get it removed — and may get your account banned
The following are never allowed on Perfume Marketplace, regardless of price, description, or disclaimer in the listing itself.
Counterfeit and fraudulent items
- Counterfeit, fake, or replica perfumes represented as genuine.
- Products with fake, altered, or reused batch codes, boxes, or seals intended to misrepresent authenticity.
- Fake or altered receipts, invoices, or proof-of-purchase documents.
- Listings that use photographs of a different item than the one actually being sold.
Stolen or unlawfully obtained goods
- Any item you do not have the legal right to sell, including stolen goods.
- Items obtained through fraud, chargeback abuse, or other unlawful means.
Misleading or unsafe listings
- Materially false descriptions of brand, condition, remaining quantity, or authenticity.
- Items that have been adulterated, contaminated, decanted into non-original containers and represented as original, or are otherwise unsafe for their intended use.
- Testers or retail-exclusive bottles not disclosed as such.
Other prohibited content
- Listings for anything other than pre-owned or partially-used perfumes (this is a perfume-only marketplace).
