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.
  • Lists of personal data, contact databases and scraped user information.
  • Government IDs, licences, diplomas, permits or uniforms.

Content and conduct

  • Adult or sexually explicit material and services.
  • Items that promote hate, violence or discrimination.
  • Human remains, body parts and bodily fluids.
  • Multi-level marketing recruitment, chain schemes and get-rich-quick offers.

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.

Alleba is operated by Alleba Advertising and Events, 58 Luisa Street, Juna Subdivision, Matina, Davao City, Philippines. Questions about this page? Email hello@alleba.com.
