VERO and restricted products

App guide · Product safety

Dropship Calendar checks products before they are added or posted to eBay. If a product could create a policy or account-safety risk, Dropship Calendar may prevent it from moving forward.

VeRO is eBay’s Verified Rights Owner program. It helps protect intellectual-property rights such as trademarks, copyrights, and product designs. Rights owners can report listings that may use their property without permission.

Dropship Calendar may prevent a product from being listed when it is connected to a known internal VERO restriction or intellectual-property risk.

eBay may describe a notice as Intellectual Property Policy, VeRO, or Counterfeit Policy. These labels can overlap, but they are not interchangeable. A Counterfeit notice does not necessarily mean a VeRO rights owner reported the listing.

A product marked eBay VERO in Dropship Calendar.

Some products cannot be listed because of their product type, category, marketplace rules, or Dropship Calendar’s product-safety requirements.

When a product is restricted, it cannot be added to Import List or posted through Dropship Calendar.

Dropship Calendar checks a product again as it moves toward eBay. A product that appeared in Item Finder earlier may be stopped later if its information or safety status has changed.

This protects your store from posting a product that is no longer considered safe to list.
