Prohibited items policy
Alleba is built for handicrafts, home-made goods and small-batch products. This is the list of things that may never be listed here, whether or not a buyer asks for them.
Last updated 17 August 2026
Food and perishables
Shelf-stable food is welcome — baked goods, preserves, snacks, coffee, condiments and similar items — as long as you follow local food-handling rules and label allergens and shelf life honestly. Freshly cooked meals and anything needing a cold chain are not supported, because Alleba has no delivery network to move them safely.
Illegal and controlled goods
- Illegal drugs, drug paraphernalia and precursor chemicals.
- Firearms, ammunition, replica guns, explosives and their parts.
- Bladed weapons sold as weapons rather than as tools or crafts.
- Stolen goods, or items you cannot show you have the right to sell.
Health and safety
- Prescription medicines, and any drug or supplement without FDA Philippines registration.
- Unregistered cosmetics, skin-whitening products with banned ingredients, and injectables.
- Medical devices requiring a licence to sell.
- Hazardous materials, flammable liquids, compressed gas and toxic chemicals.
- Recalled products of any kind.
Restricted and regulated
- Tobacco, cigarettes, vapes, e-liquids and heated tobacco products.
- Alcoholic drinks.
- Live animals, and any wildlife, ivory, coral, shells or plants protected under Philippine or CITES rules.
- Lottery tickets, gambling services and betting accounts.
- Cash, gift-card balances, load, cryptocurrency, securities and other financial instruments.
- Services that require a professional licence, such as medical, legal or financial advice.
Rights and identity
- Counterfeit goods, replicas and unauthorised branded merchandise.
- Pirated media, cracked software, account logins and streaming subscriptions.

- Government IDs, licences, diplomas, permits or uniforms.

If you are not sure
This list is not exhaustive. If your item sits in a grey area, ask us at hello@alleba.com before you publish it. We would rather answer a question than remove a listing.
Reporting a listing
Every shop page has a “Report this shop” link, and you can open a support ticket for a specific product or order. Reports are private — the seller never sees who filed one.
What happens when a rule is broken
- First, the listing is removed and the seller is notified with the reason.
- Repeated or careless breaches lead to loss of the verified badge and a temporary suspension.
- Illegal goods, counterfeits, fraud or anything that endangers a buyer results in immediate and permanent removal, without prior notice.
- Serious matters may be reported to the relevant Philippine authorities.
- You can appeal any action by opening a support ticket.
