Bids Kenya

Prohibited items

Bids Kenya is for genuinely pre-owned items. These rules protect buyers and honest sellers.

Never allowed

  • New, unused or new-in-box retail stock.
  • Mobile phones: new, used or refurbished.
  • Items misrepresented as used, or with misleading specifications.
  • Stolen goods, counterfeits and unlawful items.
  • Items the seller cannot legally transfer.

Extra review

  • Ambiguous devices such as tablets, smartwatches and laptops with cellular modems are reviewed by an administrator and declined unless clearly eligible.
  • Items where it is unclear whether they are genuinely used or retail stock.

If a listing breaks the rules

  • An administrator can reject, suspend or remove it, with a clear reason on record.
  • Repeated violations lead to account suspension.
  • Stolen or counterfeit goods may be reported to law enforcement, with evidence preserved.
