Most things may be sold on DUZO. This is the list of what may not. It applies however the item is described, and it applies even when the item is legal to own — some things are legal to have but not to resell this way. If you are unsure: ask us before you list, not after.
Firearms, weapon parts, ammunition, gunpowder and primers may not be sold here — nor may starter and signal pistols, gas weapons, or replica weapons that can be mistaken for live ones. This applies even if you hold a licence: DUZO does not broker licensed trade.
Knives and other stabbing weapons covered by the Swedish Knife Act may not be sold: switchblades, flick knives, butterfly knives, throwing stars, batons, knuckledusters and the like.
Electroshock weapons and tear-gas devices — pepper spray is one — are treated as firearms under the Swedish Weapons Act and may not be sold here, not even when they are called self-defence, defence spray or anything else.
What you may sell: ordinary utility and hunting knives, kitchen knives, tools, plus empty cartridge cases and deactivated objects that clearly no longer function. Historical pieces may be sold only if permanently inoperable, and the listing must say so. Personal attack alarms and protective equipment such as gas masks are fine too.
Alcoholic drinks may not be sold by private individuals in Sweden — that is Systembolaget's monopoly. This applies to a single bottle from an inheritance or a collection too.
Tobacco, snus, e-cigarettes and nicotine products may not be sold here, in any quantity.
Listings may not contain marketing of tobacco, nicotine products or alcohol.
What you may sell: empty bottles, collectable labels, caps, wine corks, cigar boxes, pipes, ashtrays and other accessories and collectables with no contents.
Prescription and over-the-counter medicines may not be sold by private individuals. The same goes for narcotics, controlled substances, doping agents, hazardous substances, and anything marketed as "research chemicals".
Equipment principally used for drug taking may not be sold.
What you may sell: unopened supplements and vitamins that are legal to sell in Sweden, medical equipment containing no medicine (crutches, a blood-pressure monitor), and empty medicine tins as collectables.
Copies of branded goods may not be sold — not as a "copy", not as a "replica", not as "inspired by", not "in the style of". Saying in the listing that the item is a copy does not make it allowed; it only makes the infringement deliberate.
The same applies to pirated films, games, music and software, unlawfully copied books, and licence keys or accounts resold against the maker's terms.
Listings breaking this are removed. Anyone doing it repeatedly, or selling copies at a scale that looks commercial, is permanently suspended and may be reported to the rights holder.
What you may sell: genuine branded goods, including used and worn ones. Vintage and homage design carrying nobody else's trademark is fine.
Stolen goods may obviously not be sold. Buying or selling something you suspect is stolen is receiving stolen property, and is a criminal offence even if you did not steal it yourself.
We remove listings where the origin looks unclear — particularly new boxed goods in quantities that do not match a private home, bicycles and electronics without serial numbers, and items whose serial number or marking has been filed off.
If you bought something in good faith and later learn it was stolen: contact us. We will help with the police contact, and you will not receive a strike for it.
Live animals may not be sold here. Nor may products from species protected under the CITES convention: ivory, tortoiseshell, coral, certain skins, furs, feathers, taxidermy, and bones and teeth from protected species, as well as certain exotic woods.
Protected plants, their seeds and parts of them may not be sold.
What you may sell: items from common species — leather, wool, fur from legally hunted game — and older items from protected species where you hold a valid CITES certificate. The certificate must be mentioned in the listing; without it the listing is removed.
Material inciting hatred or violence against a group may not be sold. Nazi and other extremist symbols and propaganda may not be sold for glorifying purposes.
Material depicting sexual abuse, or abuse of animals, may never be sold and is reported to the police.
What you may sell: historical objects and militaria for documentary or collecting purposes, where the listing is factual and does not glorify. Literature and film with historical content are allowed.
Counterfeit notes and coins may not be sold, nor "prop money" that can be confused with the real thing.
Payment and credit cards, bank security tokens, BankID and the like may not be sold or transferred.
What you may sell: genuine collectable coins and notes, including withdrawn currencies, and clearly marked toy money nobody could mistake for real.
Gift cards, discount codes, tickets and vouchers may not be sold here. They are hard to verify, can be spent before the buyer redeems them, and are one of the most common fraud patterns on second-hand marketplaces.
Services may not be sold — the platform is built for goods that are shipped or collected, and buyer protection rests on there being a parcel to track.
Purely digital goods with no physical delivery are not sold here for the same reason.
Pre-selling and dropshipping are not allowed: you must have the item in your possession when you list it. "Ordered in when sold" is not a valid listing.
Registers, address lists, customer databases and other collections of personal data may not be sold.
Identity documents — passports, driving licences, id cards, diplomas, certificates — may not be sold, genuine or fabricated.
What you may sell: old photographs, letters and documents of historical or genealogical value, where the people in them are no longer living.
Airbags and seat-belt pretensioners may not be shipped as parcels — they contain pyrotechnics and are classed as dangerous goods.
Equipment whose only purpose is to circumvent the law may not be sold: radar detectors, emissions defeat devices, chips that remove the speed limiter on a moped or A-tractor.
What you may sell: vehicles and ordinary spare parts. Note that the Vehicles category is entirely commission-free — see Pricing & fees.
Fireworks, explosives, pressurised gas cylinders, corrosive and flammable chemicals, pesticides and asbestos-containing material may not be sold.
Loose lithium-ion batteries may not be shipped as ordinary parcels. Batteries fitted inside a device are fine.
What you may sell: ordinary household chemicals in original packaging, and electronics with built-in batteries.
A listing may not be a lottery. Selling tickets for an item, raffling it among bidders, or letting chance decide who gets to buy it is a lottery under the Swedish Gambling Act, and it requires a licence from the Swedish Gambling Authority (Spelinspektionen).
Unscratched scratchcards, lottery tickets and betting slips that can still win may not be sold here, nor may gambling accounts, shares in betting syndicates or "sure" betting tips.
What you may sell: board games, card games, video and computer games and any other game that is not gambling, and scratched or used lottery tickets and old betting slips as collectables.
Products recalled by their manufacturer or by an authority, and products the EU's Safety Gate alert system has identified as dangerous, may not be sold here — not second-hand either, and not "as is" or "for parts".
Before you sell, for example, children's products, toys, chargers, electronics or cosmetics: search for the item in Safety Gate (ec.europa.eu/safety-gate-alerts) and among the Swedish Consumer Agency's recalls at konsumentverket.se. It takes a minute.
Laser pointers in laser class 3R, 3B or 4 — stronger than 1 milliwatt — may not be sold. A permit from the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority is required to sell, buy or own one.
If we learn that an item in a listing is recalled or dangerous — from an authority, from Safety Gate or through a report — we remove the listing and tell the seller why. If the item has already been sold here, we contact the buyer.
What you may sell: second-hand products that have not been recalled, and products that have been remedied under the manufacturer's recall — replaced or repaired, for instance — if the listing says so. Laser pointers in class 1 and 2, at most 1 milliwatt, are fine; state the laser class and output in the listing.
Photos should show the item. They may not contain nudity or sexual content, graphic violence or injured people, or material plainly intended to shock.
This applies even when the item itself is allowed. A lawful item photographed that way will not be published — the rule is about what is shown, not about what is sold. Think as well about what ends up in shot by accident: other people who do not know, addresses, receipts, or screens with names on them.
What you may sell: anything otherwise allowed, photographed plainly. We do not judge photo quality — blurry, dark or crooked pictures are entirely fine.
Ask us first. An email to support before you list costs a day; a removed listing and a strike cost more.
If you see a listing that does not belong here, or that you believe is illegal — report it. Anyone can, with or without an account: through the Report listing link on the listing page, through the Report illegal content page (duzo.se/anmal), linked from the footer, or by email to info@duzo.se. Include the link to the listing, why you believe the content is illegal, your name and email address, and that you are giving the information in good faith. A report of child sexual abuse material can be made without a name or email address.
A person reads both the listing and its context. If you reported through the link or the form and gave your email address, you get a confirmation that your report has arrived, and then the decision with the reasons for it. The person you reported is not told who you are, unless the law requires us to disclose it. You can ask for the decision to be reviewed within six months, through the link in the message. A report sent by email is answered by support by email, without the automatic confirmation and the review link — if you want those, use the form.
The list is updated as we meet new cases. Changes apply going forward: a listing that was allowed when it was posted is not removed retroactively, but may not be posted again.
