Why this list

Maxx moves money through PayPal, which restricts some categories in its Acceptable Use Policy, such as gambling, cryptocurrency and digital value, and prescription items. Marketplace law also requires us to act against illegal goods. We may remove an offer or suspend a seller for breaking these rules, and we may cancel and refund related orders.

If you see something that should not be sold, report it using Report content and appeal a decision, or write to support@maxx.example. We act on credible reports quickly.
