What don’t we sell at Sellpy?
What don’t we sell at Sellpy?

We do sell most items, but there are exceptions like certain defects, too low resale value – as well as safety, legal and hygiene reasons.

Updated this week

At Sellpy we evaluate each item individually based on parameters like brand, type of item and condition. This results in an estimated second hand value and each item worth 5 EUR or more is put up for sale. But there are certain types of items that we are unable to sell regardless of worth – due to legal, safety or hygiene reasons which are stated in detail below. By always packing whole and clean items you increase your chances of getting as much as possible sold. Defects reduce the value of your items.

Defects that significantly reduce the value of an item and often result in it being sorted out:

  • Broken

  • Dirty

  • Pilled

  • Washed out

  • Bleached

  • Shrunken

We never sell items with any of the following defects:

  • Traces of vermin/pests (e.g. moths, fur mites)

  • Distinct smell of smoke

  • Smell of damp and/or mold

  • Trademark infringement

For trademark owners - Here you can report trademark infringement and get in touch with the quality department: NOCI

Animals and plants related objects

CITES

CITES is an agreement that produces a list where animals and plants are ranked based on their vulnerability. CITES regulates trade in endangered species. The County Administrative Board, or the equivalent authorities in a given country, examines permits for businesses that trade in species listed in the CITES agreement. If you are going to sell products from animals that are endangered, you may need to apply for a CITES certificate or CITES permit. Local rules and regulations may apply.

CITES is divided into different annexes depending on the vulnerability of the species.

Appendix A

A-listed species are species that are endangered as a consequence of trade. These species require the most protection. It is prohibited to trade species that are listed in Annex A. There are exceptions from the prohibition. In those cases you need a CITES-permit. There are also exceptions from the requirement of CITES-permit.

Appendix B

B-listed species are species that risk endangerment if the trade is not controlled and regulated. To trade with species listed in Annex B, documents proving the legal background of the item is required. The document can for example be a copy of the import permit, documents from the purchase or from the breeder. A receipt alone is not enough. Without the documents proving the legality of the item trade is forbidden.

Appendix C

C-listed species are species that are endangered in a certain country. All species in the C-appendix are linked to an origin country. To import a species from the listed country you need a CITES-permit issued by the origin country. For internal trade in the EU and within EU-countries, permits are not mandatory.
