Commercial posting rules

Opportunities are welcome when the business intent is transparent and the information is useful to a real buyer, seller or service provider.

  • State whether you are the buyer, seller, manufacturer, distributor or service provider.
  • Identify the exact item or service, condition, quantity, MOQ and required specifications.
  • Include location, shipping scope, timing, pricing basis and important commercial terms.
  • Disclose your company relationship. Do not hide an advertisement inside a technical answer.
  • Post in the most relevant marketplace or industry category and avoid duplicate pitches.

  • Remove personal data and confidential third-party information from photos, documents and logs.
  • Hazardous electrical, mechanical, chemical or pressure-system advice must include appropriate safeguards and qualified-personnel requirements.
  • Verify counterparties, specifications and payment terms independently before a commercial deal.
  • Report suspected fraud, abuse, unsafe advice or content that violates the community purpose.
