Prohibited & restricted items

BuyerReq maintains a two-layer catalog: never supported goods, and restricted / coming soon categories that stay unavailable until compliance and ops systems exist. This list is illustrative and subject to legal review and local law. When in doubt, do not list it.

Marketplace scope (v1)

Launch focus: ordinary physical goods in approved categories. Services, digital products, gift cards, tickets, subscriptions, property, vehicles, and wholesale are out of scope unless explicitly enabled later.

Never supported

Illegal weapons and explosives; illegal drugs and unauthorized prescription medicines; nicotine / tobacco / vapes where restricted; stolen goods; counterfeit goods; fraudulent identity documents; stolen accounts or credentials; malicious access tools intended for crime; pornographic services/content where prohibited by policy; live endangered wildlife and illegal wildlife products; counterfeit currency; dangerous illicit chemicals; and anything illegal the buyer/seller’s local law, or applicable export rules.

Restricted / unsupported during initial launch

Higher-compliance categories stay inactive (including public feed filters) until policy and ops are ready — for example alcohol, food/perishables, medical devices, supplements, high-risk batteries, regulated cosmetics, age-restricted goods, certain baby safety equipment, dangerous automotive safety components, and other jurisdiction-specific regulated products.

Public catalog note: Beauty & Personal Care, Health & Household, and Baby & Kids are marked coming soon and are not offered as active feed filters at launch.
