What You Can and Can't List on VendeeX
VendeeX is a marketplace for requests and offers. To keep it safe, legal, and fair for everyone, some items, products, and services aren't allowed on the platform.
Before you post
Whenever you list something on VendeeX — whether you're requesting it or offering it — you're responsible for making sure it:
- Isn't on the Not Allowed List below, and
- Complies with all applicable laws, including the laws of the country where you live and the country the item will be delivered to or imported into.
If your listing doesn't meet these rules, we may remove it, and you could face restrictions on your account — up to and including suspension or termination.
The Not Allowed List
The following items, products, and services can't be listed on VendeeX — either as a request or an offer.

A few things to keep in mind
"Legal near you" isn't always enough. Because VendeeX connects people across locations, an item has to be allowed for both sides of the transaction. Something legal where you live may still be restricted where the other person is.
When in doubt, check first. If you're unsure whether an item fits the rules, it's better to ask or hold off than to risk having your listing removed or your account restricted.
The list can change. Vendee Labs may update this Not Allowed List at any time. By continuing to use VendeeX after an update, you agree to follow the revised list.
This guide summarises VendeeX's Not Allowed List in plain language. The official policy is the authoritative version and takes precedence in the event of any difference.
