Listing Policy for Sellers
It is your responsibility to ensure you are legally allowed to sell items you list.
This includes but is not limited to ensuring that the item does not breach any copyright,
trade marks, registered designs, patents or other intellectual property rights.
You must also abide by the following rules:
- Prohibited Items
must not be listed, please check before listing. Listings fees (if applicable) for
any prohibited items listed and removed as violating, will not be refunded.
-
When using HTML or scripts within your item you must abide by the rules in our HTML and JavaScript Policy.
- Linking to Other Web Pages: The naming, promotion of or links to
other web sites where products can be purchased is not allowed, with the following
exceptions:
1) Linking to your feedback page on eBay.
2) Displaying (not linking) your own Web site home page address if you have a link
back to http://www.quicksales.com.au from your home
page.
You may link to a page that further describes the item you are selling as long as
products/services cannot be purchased from that page directly or indirectly.
You may not show your web site address in the item title, subtitle, description,
pictures uploaded, payment instructions, postage instruction and refund/return policies.
- Categorisation: Items must be accurately represented, described
and listed in the most appropriate category.
Note: Misuse of this policy will result in your items being removed without a refund
and or account suspension. Removal fees of $1 per item will apply to repeat offenders.
- Identical Listings: You may not list more than 1 identical item
in any more than 3 individual categories. This rule is in place to improve
the user experience. Also, because quicksales offers FREE listings, we need to ensure
that identical listings are not excessive and therefore abusing the FREE listing
policy.
If you have a multiple quantity available, please enter the quantity available when
listing the item. See Multi-Auction items in the
Listing an Item help topic for more information.
Items are considered identical based on such information as the title, pictures
and description (including items with different variations). Although you may have
added the different variations via your descriptions, subtitles or pictures, this
will not be sufficient if your titles are exactly the same. Titles
will need to be different, even by the addition of just the one differentiating
word, such as 'Small', 'Medium' or 'Large'.
Where there are more than 5 items which appear to be duplicated
(1 item with more than 5 variations in title, description or pictures), we require
the variations to be clearly advertised within the item description instead of the
title. We DO NOT ALLOW items with different variations to be listed with different
titles more than 5 times. Only 1 listing will be allowed with a description outlining
the variations.
Example: Let's say you sell Men's T-Shirts and have 10 colours
and 3 sizes available. You are entitled to list 3 separate listings representing
your items (Small, Medium and Large). The colours however, can ONLY be outlined
within the description of each listing.
Title: Men's T-Shirt Casual Wear BNWT Large
Description: Available in: RED, BLUE, GREEN, YELLOW, ORANGE, BLACK,
WHITE, GREY etc.
Note: Misuse of this policy will result in your items being removed without a refund
and or account suspension. Removal fees of $1 per item will apply to repeat offenders.
- Stock: If you drop ship (you do not keep goods in stock, but instead
transfer orders to a wholesaler) you must outline the expected time of delivery
as well as clearly stating the item will be sent from overseas (if being sent from
overseas) in the Postage instructions section. Do not list items
that you or your supplier do not hold in stock. We have this policy to prevent a
buyer purchasing an item and then being told that the item is no longer available.
- Listing No Item: Listings not offering an actual item or service
for sale cannot be listed. For example, listings with the primary purpose of advertising.
- Selling on Multiple Venues: You may not list the exact same
item for sale through another venue which offers instant purchase/auction. This
is to prevent the possibility of two buyers winning the exact same item. For example:
You cannot list your computer on quicksales and eBay at the same time. Note: This does
not apply to
Classified items or an item that you have a sufficient quantity available.
-
Pre-Selling Policy: If you are pre-selling an item, it must be clearly stated within
the description of that item that it is a pre-sale, including the date the item is available. You may not pre-sale an
item where the available date is longer than 30 days.
- Services: Services must be listed in the "Business
Services" category.
- Keyword Spamming: Title "Keyword spamming" (adding brand
names or non related keywords to gain attention) to manipulate search results is
not allowed.
- GST: All prices are to be shown in Australian dollars and unless
otherwise clearly stated, all prices are GST inclusive. GST can only be added to
the final price if the payment instructions CLEARLY state that GST will be added
to the final price. Note: Only sellers that are GST registered can charge GST. GST info
- Excessive Postage: Postage & handling should include a reasonable
cost of actual postage, packaging and handling. Excessive postage charges are strictly
prohibited and will result in the cancellation of the sale or account suspension.
- Credit Card Surcharges: Sellers may not charge surcharges for receiving
payments unless the item was paid for by credit card. Merchants are allowed to recoup
the cost of merchant service fees directly from consumers who purchased using a
credit card. If a merchant does decide to impose a surcharge they must clearly state
in the payment instructions that a credit card fee will apply and the amount of
the fee. Other costs associated with receiving payments cannot be added to the final
price.
- As a seller of an item that was successfully sold by auction or BuyNow, you are
obligated to complete the sale and promptly forward the item to the successful buyer
on completion of the transaction.
- You cannot refuse to sell an item because the final price is not what you expected.
If you want to make sure the final price is not too low, ensure the start price
is set to the minimum you would accept.
- In addition to these rules, you must abide by the rules of Section 8 - "Provisions
relating to Sellers"of our User Agreement.
quicksales reserves the right to remove any listings that are in breach of our
User Agreement or Listing Policy. quicksales also reserves the right to remove
any listings from the homepage at its sole discretion. Violation of this policy
may result in temporary or permanent account suspension.
