What are you trying to list?

Some used items are prohibited - for example, you can't sell a secondhand cot or a partly used fragrance on the site.

They are not allowed.  Only eligible sellers can list cots.  The used cots you can see are either from non-UK sellers or have been listed in the wrong category to avoid being removed.

 

New cots: Eligible sellers can list new cots that meet BS EN 716 standards. Sellers must say in the listing that the cot meets these standards. Used cots aren't allowed.
