Use real photos
Show the actual item or your own work. No stock photos of something you do not have.
Be honest
Describe the condition, what is included and the real price. No bait prices.
One ad per item
Do not post the same item several times or in the wrong category.
What happens if an ad breaks the rules
- The ad is held and is not shown to buyers. We tell you by notification and email.
- Our team reviews it. If it follows the rules, it goes live and you do not need to do anything.
- If something needs fixing, we tell you what. Edit the ad and it is checked again.
- Ads that cannot be allowed are rejected. Repeated breaches can lead to the account being suspended.
