What you can't sell

The banned list

• Counterfeit or replica items — fake branded gear, knockoffs, and anything that infringes a brand's trademark. This is the big one: it's banned, full stop.
• Stolen items, or anything you don't own and have the right to sell.
• Recalled items and gear a manufacturer or regulator has deemed unsafe.
• Anything illegal to sell, ship, or possess where you live.
• Items subject to a lien or any other legal restriction on resale.

Listing rules that get enforced like bans

• Photos must be of the actual item you're selling. Stock photos and AI-generated images are not allowed.
• No white-background product shots — photograph your gear on a floor, bed, mat, or outdoors. If a photo gets flagged, WornRep will contact you and you'll get 48 hours to replace it, then one final 12-hour warning — after that the listing comes down automatically, and you can fix the photo and relist it from your dashboard.
• One item, one listing — the listing covers the exact physical item in the photos.
• Gear must be clean. Wash it or use an odor sanitizer before it ships; shipping dirty gear can cost you the sale in a dispute.

What happens if you list a banned item

The listing is removed. Listings can be flagged by members and by our review of brands and photos, and repeat violations lead to account suspension. If a counterfeit item is sold and delivered, the buyer can open a dispute like any other problem — the refund follows the dispute outcome under the same rules as every other case, and a seller caught selling counterfeits loses their account, not just the listing.

Not sure about an item?

If you can't verify it's genuine, don't list it. When in doubt, leave it out — one removed counterfeit does more damage to your account than a missed sale.
