Buyer standards

Policy version 1.0 · effective 7 Sep 2026

Buyers on BuyerReq must treat demand as real transactional inventory — not a free fishing tool for seller data.

Buyers must

Describe needs accurately and keep required vs preferred specifications clear
Set genuine demand (budget, quantity, condition, location at safe granularity)
Avoid prohibited and restricted items
Not impersonate another person or business
Not post fake requests to harvest seller contacts, prices, or inventory
Respond reasonably after accepting an offer (pay, provide delivery details, or cancel per policy)
Provide a valid delivery address or honor an agreed pickup plan
Inspect promptly inside the inspection window
Preserve evidence (photos, tracking, handover confirmation)
Use disputes honestly and not abuse chargebacks
Not solicit off-platform payment to evade marketplace rules or fees
Return items when a return is required under Returns

Fake buyer demand harms sellers and degrades matching quality. BuyerReq may remove requests, limit accounts, and retain evidence for abuse.
