What you can't sell here
Plain-language version 2026-11-10. Written by MM and waiting for review by a lawyer; if a lawyer changes anything, the new version gets a new date and only applies to deals opened after it.
No deal may break the law where the buyer or the seller is. On top of that, MM never takes deals for the things below, whatever the local law says.
Never allowed
- Drugs, including marijuana, and anything sold as a medicine without being one.
- Weapons, ammunition, explosives, and parts for making them.
- Stolen goods, stolen accounts, leaked or personal data, and access to other people's systems or accounts.
- Malware, hacking services, and anything meant to break into, overload or spy on a system.
- Fake or copied goods, and anything that infringes someone else's copyright or trademark.
- Adult content and sexual services.
- Gambling, lotteries, and paid contests of chance.
- Investments, securities, loans, credit, debt relief, and crowdfunding.
- Moving money as the deal itself: exchanging currencies, gift cards or crypto for cash, or paying someone to pass money on.
- Fake reviews, followers, votes or engagement, and anything else meant to deceive people.
- Identity documents, and services to get around identity checks.
- Game, social media and other online accounts whose platform forbids selling them.
- Anyone or anything under sanctions, and anything involving people being forced to work or sold.
- Hate, harassment, or violence for hire.
Card and bank deals
Card and bank deals also follow Stripe's own list of prohibited and restricted businesses. If a deal is allowed for USDC but not by Stripe, use USDC.
What MM does about it
MM may refuse a deal, pause it, or cancel it and refund the buyer if it breaks these rules. If you see a deal that does, write to support@escrowmcp.org.
