Posting Rules

To make the buying and selling experience enjoyable for everyone, all users are expected to follow these rules when posting items on SnappinSell.

SnappinSell has the sole discretion to remove any content that violates any of our guidelines or Terms of Service. In cases of severe or repeated violations, we may deactivate an account or take further action.

Accounts

  • Use your true identity and honestly represent yourself in your user account and in all communications with other SnappinSell users.
  • Represent yourself respectfully when creating your account and custom profile link.
  • Have only one account per user or business (not multiple accounts).
  • Don’t create accounts designed to impersonate someone else.
  • Don’t use throw-away email addresses. This may be considered fraudulent behavior.
  • Don’t use emulators or third-party sites to post. You must be the owner of your item.

Photos

  • Always include a photo of the item. Listings without photos or with only text are not allowed.
  • Use high-quality, well-lit photos without extra stickers or text.
  • Do not add writing, phone numbers, email addresses, or physical addresses to photos (except for verified businesses, dealers, or sale event listings).
  • Post a photo of the actual item, not a catalog or stock image.
  • Use your own photos. Don’t infringe on the intellectual property rights of others.

Duplicate Posts

Multiple posts showing identical items from the same seller can be confusing and are discouraged. Even if you have more than one of the same item, please list them one at a time. Do not post the same item in more than one listing or in multiple categories.

Item Location

List an accurate geographic location so local buyers can arrange pickups. If you want to sell outside your area, offer nationwide shipping.

Titles, Descriptions, & Prices

  • Be clear and honest in your titles and descriptions.
  • Don’t use keywords or prices meant to manipulate search results.
  • Don’t set prices clearly above market value.
  • Don’t include finance pricing in the Price field. You may include financing info in the description as long as the listed price is the full price.
  • Don’t solicit risky payment methods (like Western Union or Moneygram).
  • Don’t link to websites or post URLs.
  • Don’t provide personal info (phone, email, address) except for certain verified business or dealer listings.
  • Garage/yard/estate/moving sale listings can include event location and time, but not phone numbers or emails.

Messaging & Communication

SnappinSell messaging lets you connect without sharing personal info. Avoid refusing to message, using automation for messaging, or using listings as advertising platforms. Messaging that directs users away from SnappinSell may result in removals or account suspensions.

Prohibited Items

Most items are allowed, but some are prohibited for legal, safety, or community reasons. See our Prohibited Items Guidelines for details.

Fee Avoidance

Actions to avoid paying fees are strictly prohibited. If you don’t pay required fees, your listings may be removed.

Maintaining a Safe Marketplace

  • We remove listings and take action on accounts that violate our policies.
  • We work with law enforcement to support investigations.
  • We update product features to create a more trustworthy experience.
