Prohibited and restricted listings

Listings may not offer stolen property; counterfeit or fraudulently attributed goods; illegal drugs; weapons or components whose listing is unlawful; human remains; live animals; sexual content involving minors; recalled products presented for unsafe use; or material that directly facilitates serious wrongdoing.

Archaeological, sacred, archival, natural-history and culturally significant material must have lawful ownership and export history where required. A seller must not use Collectorium to bypass heritage, wildlife, sanctions, customs or export-control rules.

Alcohol, tobacco, medical goods, plants, animal-derived material, hazardous materials, currency-like instruments and age-restricted goods may be unavailable or require evidence depending on the discovery market and applicable law.

Collectorium may request photographs, ownership or origin records, permits, serial information or other proportionate evidence. Missing evidence can prevent publication without implying criminal conduct.

Changing wording, imagery, category or account does not make a prohibited item acceptable. Materially similar relisting after a decision may lead to account-level review.

Sport and event tickets that still provide admission, or whose admission status is unclear, are not eligible for automatic Board publication. They require human review of platform rules, transfer conditions and context. A physical collectible ticket for a past event that no longer grants admission is assessed separately. The word ‘ticket’ does not by itself prohibit every historical collectible.

Requests for illegal controlled substances, stolen goods, forged official documents, functional weapons or ammunition, personal data or account access, sexual exploitation or pornographic material and gambling may be rejected under Board rules. Other regulated objects may require context or evidence. A content decision is not a finding that a user committed an offence.
