ITEM POLICY
What Sellee can list for you.
Sellee lists things that ship in a box. Before anything goes live, we check it against this policy, and if we can’t list it, we text you why.
Last updated 10 October 2026.
Everything is shipped
Every sale goes through carousell.ai checkout and is shipped by USPS, within the United States. There is no local pickup yet, so an item has to fit in a box:
- up to 70 lb once packed
- no side longer than 30 in
The buyer pays for shipping. You pack the item and drop it off, or book a USPS pickup.

How we check
We look at the category of each item and at the words in its title and description. Some items inside an allowed category are still refused, such as a replica watch or a recalled toy, so this page is a guide rather than the full list of rules.
When we can’t list something, we tell you in the chat, and your draft stays saved. Listings must also meet the rules of carousell.ai and of any marketplace we post them to.
