Prohibited items
Last updated August 6, 2026
What this covers
Some goods can't be listed on EZHomesteading at all, regardless of how they're described or labeled. This is separate from Listing accuracy, which covers how a permitted listing has to be described.
Prohibited categories
- Home-canned low-acid goods — home-canned vegetables, meats, and other low-acid foods carry a real botulism risk without commercial processing controls. Home-canned high-acid goods like jams and pickles aren't affected by this rule.
- Alcohol, firearms, and other regulated goods — anything that requires a license or permit the platform doesn't administer, including alcohol and firearms.
Why these are banned outright
These aren't accuracy or quality issues a listing's description can fix — the risk (or the licensing requirement) exists independent of how well the item is represented, so they're excluded rather than flagged for review.
Reporting a listing
If you see a listing that looks like it belongs to one of these categories, report it from the listing page. Reported listings are reviewed and removed if they violate this policy.
Enforcement
A prohibited listing is taken down on discovery. Repeated attempts to list prohibited goods are treated as a community guidelines violation and can affect a seller's ability to publish.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated as the marketplace changes. The date at the top is when it was last revised.
