Marketplace Standards

What are AuctionZip's Marketplace Standards?

AuctionZip prohibits the sale of any items that glorify or promote hate. AuctionZip recognizes the historical significance of World War II and understands that some artifacts represent important periods of human history, including those plagued by great injustices. We believe these items should be preserved for study in museums and monitor the sale of them on our marketplace. Modern reproductions or new items that are emblazoned with Nazi symbolism or other hate groups are not permitted on our marketplace.


We also have prohibited “assault-style” semi-automatic rifles, Class III weapons, bump stocks and Rhino horn from the marketplace. If an auction house's catalogs contain such items, bidders will see a blank screen until the auctioneer moves on to the next non-restricted item in the sale.

I'm trying to bid in a sale, but I keep seeing a blank screen. Is live bidding not working?

It's possible that the auction you're participating in contains items that are prohibited under AuctionZip's updated Marketplace Standards policy. If an auction house's catalog contains such items, bidders will see a blank screen until the auctioneer moves on to the next non-restricted item in the sale. We thank you for your patience as the auction house moves through their catalog.

I am an artist or copyright holder. How can I report an item that is in violation of my copyright?

AuctionZip is committed to providing a safe marketplace for buyers and sellers. If there is an item for sale which infringes on your trademark, copyright, or celebrity's right of publicity, please email us at [email protected]. Please complete and send us this legal form which affirms that you are the intellectual property owner, or authorized to act on their behalf and include a link to the item in question.
