General Guidelines for using the market section

Users violating the market section rules will be given 1 warning for a period of 1 month.
With a 2nd warning the user gets auto banned, so a consecutive violation within 1 month of last violation will lead to an auto ban.

TE Market Rules

1. You must have the product you are selling in possession at the time of sale.
2. No proxy sales on behalf of banned members.
3. You are taking responsibility of the sale even if you are selling it on behalf of someone else. You will be held responsible for smooth completion of the deal.
4. No boxed/sealed products, only personally used items are permitted, in light of issues.[1]
5. You must provide 2 clearly visible pictures of the product along with your TE username and date written by hand on a piece of paper next to the product. Pictures of empty Boxes do not count. Try to provide picture of bundled accessories if any.
   Here are few examples of how one should post the pictures of their products. ( Click thumbnails for larger view )
   
   If a thread is created without the required picture as mentioned above, that thread will be trashed (with a warning/infraction). So make sure you have the pictures with you when you create the thread.
   Members are required to make a FS thread within 3 days of having taken the photographs of the product(s) they wish to sell.
6. Quoting Price is mandatory. Bidding or auction is not allowed.
7. Avoid empty Bump posts. Only Info updates.
   Total bumps across all threads should not exceed ONE in a period of 48 hours. TE is not a reverse auction site either. So use your bump wisely.
8. Updated pics of the item on sale (with current date) is mandatory in case of the sale thread being active for more than 2 months from the day it was started.
9. The market section is intended for sales alone and not Product discussion which is to be carried out in the technical forums.
10. Trolling and off-topic messages by members will be deleted on sight without explanation. However it is up to the discretion of the Staff to either delete or retain posts.
11. Selling any items that are illegal in nature is strictly prohibited. Products or Software which are adult in nature are also disallowed from market.
12. OEM software sale not allowed, unless bundled with the same hardware it was installed on/supplied with.
13. The Market section on TechEnclave is provided for the convenience of its members to off load any 'excess baggage' they have.
14. TechEnclave does not provide any express warranty on the items sold nor does it claim responsibility for trades conducted on the market. Both parties involved in a trade should ensure trade does not go bad.
15. For added convenience we have a trader rating system in place where you can check a members past record on the TE Market.
16. By trading in TE market, you confirm to have read and understood all the above and agree to abide by the above mentioned rules.

Any threads not conforming to the above will be closed/trashed on the discretion of a market moderator.

TE Market Guidelines

1. Try to communicate clearly and confirm the deal and terms before accepting money or making payment from the other trader.
2. Try to exchange contact information in advance before going through the deal. IF the trader is very new to TE, try to do face to face deals.
3. Validate the identity of the buyer or seller before going through with the deal. Keep all the Personal messages / emails till sale is complete.
4. Do not entertain any requests of providing samples for testing.
5. Keep track of financial and shipping details until the trade is complete.
6. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Please follow some common sense while dealing in market.
7. Make sure you give proper and valid trader feedback once the sale is complete.
8. If you find something fishy about the buyer or seller, contact moderators. We will help you out as much as we can.
9. The personal information shared while trading like address, email, IM, phone numbers are sensitive information. Do not share it with others unless you take permission beforehand.
10. It is mandatory to mention the reason for sale.
    
11. Any post which does not fall within the following category will be deleted and the user infracted.
    • Price Bump - The seller (or his specified representative in his absence) can update the price with a new post
    • Express interest - the prospect buyer must clearly express the intention to buy and can ask any relevant questions about the sale
    • Technical and Supportive - It should add value to the discussion between the seller and the prospective buyer (all suggestions and negotiations on asking price and market price must be done via PM)
    • Rule check - Sensitize the seller (thread starter) if he is breaking any market section rules
12. Creating threads for iTrader feedback after already selling an item is not permitted.

Bulk selling / Reselling is not allowed in Classifieds.
