Generally, you may not list law enforcement badges or official law enforcement equipment from any public entity, including badges issued by the government of any country.
The following list contains a non-exclusive list of police-related items that may not be listed on eChinabid:
- Official current or recent issue police uniforms
- Badges from federal law enforcement agencies
- Military police badges
- Quasi-law enforcement badges (e.g., fire department badges)
- State or international badges
- Badges in Lucite
- Movie prop badges
- Identification cards
- Credential cases
- Raid jackets
- Emergency vehicle lighting and sirens
- Badges issued by private security companies
- Traffic light control devices
You may list a law enforcement badge on eChinabid if:
- The law enforcement organization that issues the badge states in writing that it does not object to the sale of the item, and
- You post a copy of that letter with a valid law enforcement contact (name and phone number) on the site with the badge.
There are a limited number of police items that may be listed on the site, provided they abide by any noted guidelines.
- Police uniforms. Uniforms must be obsolete and in no way resemble current issue police uniforms. This fact must be clearly stated within the listing description.
- Mini-badges (size approximately 1 inch by 1 inch)
- Historical badges that do not resemble modern law enforcement badges, provided that the item description must clearly state that the badge is a historical piece at least 75 years old or issued by a now-defunct organization
- Authorized general souvenir items, such as hats, mugs, pins, pens, buttons, cuff links, t-shirts, money clips that do not resemble badges, and paperweights that do not contain badges
- Badges that are clearly not official (e.g., plastic or cartoon badges)"
