1. Introduction
By creating listings on Listifys, you agree to this Seller Policy in addition to our Terms of Service, Community Guidelines, and Prohibited Items Policy.
1-1Seller Status
A "seller" is any user who posts items or services for sale on the Platform, whether occasionally or as a business.
Listifys is an intermediary and does not take ownership of your inventory unless a separate written agreement states otherwise.
2. Seller Eligibility
2-1Account Standing
You must maintain an account in good standing with accurate contact information and completed verification steps required for your category or region.
2-2Legal Authority
You must have lawful ownership or authorization to sell listed items and the capacity to enter binding sale contracts under applicable law.
2-3Business Sellers
Business sellers must disclose business identity where required by consumer law, including GSTIN or comparable tax identifiers in India when applicable.
3. Listing Standards
3-1Required Information
Each listing must include a clear title, accurate description, honest pricing, appropriate category, and photos that represent the actual item.
- Condition grade or defect disclosure
- Brand, model, size, quantity, or specifications
- Whether price is fixed or negotiable
- Pickup, shipping, or delivery options available
3-2Photo Requirements
Photos must be well-lit and show the item from relevant angles. Stock photos are discouraged unless supplemented with actual item images.
Watermarks may not obscure item details or impersonate Listifys branding.
3-3Prohibited Listing Practices
Keyword stuffing, hidden fees, misleading "free" offers with mandatory add-ons, and cross-posting identical inventory excessively across unrelated categories are not allowed.
4. Pricing, Fees, and Taxes
4-1Setting Prices
You control listing prices subject to applicable law and Listifys anti-fraud rules.
If you advertise discounts, the reference price must reflect a genuine prior price or market practice permitted in your jurisdiction.
4-2Platform Fees
Listifys may charge listing fees, promotion fees, or transaction fees as disclosed at the time of listing or sale. See our Payment Terms for details.
4-3Tax Obligations
Sellers are responsible for determining and collecting applicable taxes, including GST in India, unless Listifys is legally required to collect tax on your behalf.
5. Fulfillment and Delivery
5-1Timely Communication
Respond to buyer inquiries within a reasonable time. Mark items as sold or remove listings when no longer available.
5-2Handover and Shipping
Honor agreed pickup times and shipping timelines. Provide tracking information when shipping and package items securely.
5-3Item Condition on Delivery
Items must match the listing description at handover. Material discrepancies may result in cancellations, refunds, or enforcement under our Buyer Policy and Refund & Cancellation Policy.
6. Payments and Payouts
6-1Accepted Payment Methods
Use payment methods supported by Listifys or mutually agreed lawful methods that provide transaction records.
Redirecting buyers to unverified external payment pages to evade fees or safety tools is prohibited.
6-2Payout Holds
We may place temporary holds on payouts pending account verification, fraud review, buyer dispute investigation, or legal compliance checks.
6-3Chargebacks
Sellers are responsible for chargebacks resulting from non-delivery, misrepresentation, or failure to honor refunds required by law or policy.
7. Seller Conduct
7-1Fair Dealing
Do not cancel confirmed sales without legitimate reason. Retaliatory cancellations after price disputes undermine marketplace trust.
7-2Reviews and Feedback
You may not coerce positive reviews, threaten buyers over feedback, or offer unrelated incentives solely tied to review outcomes.
7-3Off-Platform Circumvention
Completing sales off-platform solely to avoid fees on transactions initiated through Listifys violates this policy when done systematically.
8. Policy Enforcement
8-1Listing Moderation
Automated and human review may flag listings for policy violations, poor buyer experiences, or legal risk.
8-2Seller Metrics
Persistent late shipments, high cancellation rates, or frequent buyer complaints may reduce visibility, trigger verification, or result in selling restrictions.
8-3Suspension
Serious or repeated violations may lead to account suspension as described in our Account Suspension & Termination Policy.
9. Regional Seller Obligations
9-1India
Sellers in India must comply with consumer disclosure requirements, lawful return practices for defective goods, and applicable e-commerce rules for business sellers.
9-2European Union and United Kingdom
Business sellers may need to provide pre-contract information, withdrawal rights for distance contracts where applicable, and GDPR-compliant data handling for buyer communications.
9-3United States
Sellers must comply with FTC guidance on endorsements, truthful advertising, and state-specific consumer protection rules.
