##Guide to Buying and Selling Safely

##Rules

1. Your location must be at the beginning of the title.

Include [H] and [W] in your title. [H] is for what you have and [W] is for what you want.
Title Example: [USA-WA] [H] PayPal [W] 2019 Macbook Pro 16"
Do not put your price in the title unless your post has been removed for not being active enough. No price while not meeting accounts activity requirements means your post won't be approved.

2. All items being sold/traded must be listed under one (1) post, not individually.

3. You may only repost once every three days.

4. Handwritten timestamps must be on paper and include the date, your username and show the item powered on. (unless the item is Brand New/Still Sealed then you must post timestamps clearly showing the FACTORY seal)

5. Handwritten timestamps must be dated within 5 days.

6. PayPal Goods and Services and local cash are the only payment methods allowed. Understand the risks of using other payments method like Zelle or PayPal Friends and Family since these do not offer any protection against scams.

7. For all sale threads where any monetary value is accepted as payment, an asking price must be listed in description. This does not apply to trade only threads.

8. Don't delete your posts, this could result in being banned.

9. Accounts must have met minimum requirements to post and/or comment. See more

10. No 3rd party selling links are allowed (OfferUp, eBay, Mercari, Swappa, Craigslist, etc.).

11. If you are selling devices, you are required to state the repair/replacement history of each device to the best of your ability.

u/AppleSwapBot will message you once you make a sale post – reply to this private message; for example: “Repairs: iPhone XR screen replaced by Apple October 2019.”
