Our principles

Honesty

Accurate listings, real photos, clear pricing, and no deception.

Safety

No scams, no threats, no dangerous or illegal activity.

Community

Support local sellers and keep communication constructive.


What we expect from everyone

  • Be respectful in messages: No abusive language, bullying, discrimination, or unwanted sexual content.

  • Be honest in listings: Describe items accurately and do not mislead buyers.

  • Be responsive and fair: Don't ghost after agreeing on terms. If plans change, communicate.
