Listed below are certain items that do not generally violate Wish policies but may violate the law and Wish Terms if offered in certain countries (“Restricted Items”). Some items are fine to offer in most countries but may create risk for customers, merchants, and Wish if offered in other countries.
The chart below displays a list of certain Restricted Items that Wish has been notified are often not lawful to sell, buy or possess in the corresponding countries. If Wish becomes aware of a Restricted Item offered globally on the platform (including in one or more of the countries below), it may remove the item as a violation of Merchant Terms of Service or it may block the Restricted Item in certain countries (“Geo-block”). If an item has been Geo-blocked, it will not show up in Wish app, the direct product listing URL cannot be viewed (404 Error message), and the product cannot be shipped to the corresponding countries.
Geo-blocking Restricted Items can help protect customers, merchant stores and the Wish platform. However, it is most important for Merchants to know their legal obligations, including restrictions on certain items in certain countries and regions, and to follow the law. Please frequently review the chart below, as it may be subject to changes from time to time:
