  2. Legal Compliance: Ensure that your listings comply with all relevant New Zealand laws and regulations.
  3. Accuracy: Provide accurate and honest information in your listings. Misleading descriptions or false information is not allowed.
  4. Appropriate Content: Do not post any inappropriate or offensive content. This includes but is not limited to, obscene language, adult content, and illegal items.
  5. No Spam: Avoid posting repetitive listings or spam. Each item should only be listed once.

Listing Items

For Sale Listings (“Sell”)

  • Clear Descriptions: Provide clear and detailed descriptions of the items you are selling. Include important details such as condition, size, colour, and any defects.
  • High-Quality Photos: Upload high-quality, well-lit photos that accurately represent the item. Avoid using stock images.
  • Fair Pricing: Set fair and realistic prices for your items. Consider researching similar items to determine appropriate pricing.
  • Swap Option: If you are open to swapping the item for something else, indicate this clearly in your listing.

Wanted Listings (“Buy”)

  • Specific Details: Clearly describe the item you are looking for, including any specific requirements or preferences.
  • Budget Indication: Indicate your budget or the price range you are willing to pay.
  • Swap Option: If you are willing to swap an item instead of purchasing, mention what you are offering in return.

Swapping Items

  • Mutual Agreement: Ensure both parties agree on the terms of the swap before proceeding. Clear communication is key.
  • Fair Value Exchange: Try to ensure that the items being swapped are of comparable value to avoid any disputes.

Safety Tips

  • Meet in Safe Locations: When meeting someone to exchange items, choose public places during daylight hours. Avoid secluded areas.
  • Bring a Friend: If possible, bring a friend along when meeting someone for the first time.
  • Trust Your Instincts: If something feels off or suspicious, do not proceed with the transaction. Report any suspicious activity to us.

Reporting and Feedback

  • Report Issues: If you encounter any problems or notice any violations of our guidelines, report them to us immediately. Use the report function available on each listing or contact our support team.
  • Leave Feedback: After completing a transaction, leave feedback for the other party. Honest feedback helps maintain the integrity of our community.
