What is the stolen item policy?
The sale of stolen items is against our terms of service and not allowed on OpenSea.
We take allegations of theft seriously, and when we are notified of potentially stolen items, we disable the ability to buy, sell, or transfer the items via OpenSea to make sure we are complying with legal requirements and protecting users.
Why does OpenSea have this policy?
This policy helps keep OpenSea a safe and trusted marketplace.
What happens if my items are stolen?
If you believe your wallet is compromised, the best action is to immediately move your items in your wallet to a non-compromised wallet. Some of our users do this directly by using tools and apps like Etherscan and wallets like MetaMask.
You can also mark your OpenSea account as Compromised, this disables your account from further buying, selling, and transferring via OpenSea. For instructions on how to use this tool, please read this guide.
Once affected items have been identified, our Trust & Safety team will assist with disabling the ability to buy, sell, or transfer the items via OpenSea.
