Ad Posting Rules

To keep ListGarum safe and useful for everyone, all ads must follow these rules. Ads that violate them will be rejected or removed.

Post in the Right Category

  • Choose the most relevant category for your ad - this helps buyers find it faster.
  • Do not post the same item in multiple categories.
  • Misplaced ads will be moved or removed by our team.

Write an Honest, Clear Title

  • Your title must clearly describe what you are selling or offering.
  • Do not use ALL CAPS, excessive punctuation (!!!), or spam keywords.
  • Avoid vague titles like "Good stuff" or "Call me for details".
  • Include key details: brand, model, size, or condition where relevant.

Set a Fair and Accurate Price

  • Always include a price. Ads with "Call for price" will be reviewed.
  • Set a realistic market price - inflated prices reduce buyer trust.
  • If the price is negotiable, mention it in the description.
  • Do not list free items with a price, or paid items as free.

Use Real Photos

  • Upload clear, original photos of the actual item you are selling.
  • Do not use stock images, screenshots, or images taken from the internet.
  • Photos must not contain watermarks from other websites.
  • At least one photo is strongly recommended for faster approval.

Prohibited Items

  • Illegal goods or services of any kind.
  • Weapons, ammunition, or explosives.
  • Counterfeit, pirated, or stolen goods.
  • Prescription drugs, narcotics, or controlled substances.
  • Adult content, escort services, or anything sexually explicit.
  • Live animals (exotic, wild, or endangered species).
  • Government-issued documents, IDs, or certificates.
  • Multi-level marketing (MLM) or pyramid schemes.

No Duplicate Ads

  • You may only post one ad per item at a time.
  • Duplicate ads will be removed without notice.
  • If your ad expires, use the free Relist feature instead of reposting.
  • Multiple accounts used to post the same ad will be banned.

Accurate Contact & Location

  • Provide a valid phone number or use our built-in messaging system.
  • Set the correct location - buyers search by area.
  • Do not include contact details inside the ad title or photos.
  • Ads with fake or missing contact info will be rejected.

No Spam or Commercial Bulk Posting

  • Personal sellers may post up to 10 active ads at a time.
  • Commercial sellers or dealers must contact us for a business listing plan.
  • Automated or bulk posting tools are strictly prohibited.
  • Ads promoting other websites or services will be removed.
