Prohibited Items

Illegal goods, products banned from supply in Australia, recalled products, dangerous materials and other unsafe products are strictly prohibited on Bidra.

Sellers must check current Australian product bans, mandatory safety standards and recalls before listing. A second-hand item is not exempt merely because it was previously sold lawfully.

Regulated items requiring licences, permits, age controls, warnings, labelling or legal approvals may be removed unless compliance can be verified. Bidra may prohibit a category even where limited lawful sale might otherwise be possible.

Listings involving hazardous substances, unlawful equipment or items prohibited under Australian law are not permitted.

Weapons and weapon-like items that create safety risk are prohibited unless clearly allowed by law and platform policy. Bidra may remove borderline listings where user safety is at risk.

Vapes, e-cigarettes, vaping liquids and other nicotine products are prohibited on Bidra regardless of packaging or claimed nicotine content.

Alcohol and alcoholic beverages cannot be listed or sold on Bidra.

Sexual or fetish products, and other adult content items, are not permitted on Bidra.

Any item reasonably suspected to be stolen may be removed and escalated through moderation pathways.

Counterfeit, replica or intentionally misrepresented branded goods are prohibited.

Live animals are strictly prohibited on Bidra.

Prescription medicines, illegal drugs, unsafe therapeutic goods and products that require professional supply or regulatory approval are prohibited. Other health, cosmetic or chemical products may be removed where ingredients, warnings, hygiene or lawful supply cannot be established.

Stolen or transferable identity documents, financial accounts, payment credentials, access codes, event tickets represented deceptively, and other products that create a material fraud or account-access risk are prohibited.

Listings that primarily promote unsafe services, unsafe or regulated goods, risky payment workarounds or off-platform behaviour may be removed.

General business advertising is not a saleable Marketplace item. Businesses should use Bidra Businesses for their public business profile, while actual goods for sale should remain separate Marketplace listings.

Listings must not use fake photos, hidden defects, deceptive descriptions or manipulated pricing intended to mislead buyers.

Breaches may result in listing removal, warning strikes, temporary restrictions or stronger account action. Bidra may use automated and human review to detect repeat attempts to relist unsafe or prohibited products.

If you see a prohibited, recalled or unsafe listing, submit a report from the listing page using Prohibited item or Safety risk and include enough detail for review. Urgent danger should be reported to the appropriate emergency service or regulator.
