"To prevent illegal sales of antiquities on the eBay marketplace, members should ensure that they have fully understood their obligations to report many antique items under the terms of the Treasure Act. eBay works closely with the Portable Antiquities Scheme (funded by the The Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA) and run by the British Museum) to stop the sales of such items. We have got together to create the following guidelines to help you have a safe and successful experience when buying or selling antiquities on eBay."
