Community Guidelines

Building a Trusted Bayosell Community

At Bayosell, we believe that a successful marketplace is built on trust, honesty, and mutual respect. Our Community Guidelines are designed to create a safe, welcoming, and reliable environment where buyers, sellers, and businesses can connect with confidence.

Every member of the Bayosell community plays an important role in maintaining the quality of our marketplace. By following these guidelines, you help create a better experience for everyone.

Be Honest

Honesty is the foundation of every successful transaction.

When creating adverts or communicating with other users, always provide accurate and truthful information.

This includes:

• Using genuine photographs of the actual item.
• Writing clear and accurate descriptions.
• Disclosing faults, defects, or damage.
• Setting realistic prices.
• Providing correct contact information.

Misleading adverts waste everyone’s time and damage trust within the community.

Treat Others with Respect

Bayosell welcomes people from all backgrounds and communities.

We ask every user to communicate politely and respectfully at all times.

Please:

• Be courteous during conversations.
• Respect different opinions.
• Honour appointments where possible.
• Respond professionally to enquiries.

Harassment, intimidation, abusive language, threats, discrimination, or personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Keep Listings Accurate

Your advert should always reflect the actual item or service being offered.

Please ensure that:

• The title matches the product.
• The description is complete and accurate.
• Photos clearly represent the item.
• The correct category is selected.
• Pricing is accurate.

If circumstances change, update or remove your advert as soon as possible.

Upload Original Photos

Photos help buyers make informed decisions.

Whenever possible:

• Upload your own photographs.
• Show the actual condition of the item.
• Include multiple images from different angles.
• Avoid heavily edited or misleading images.

Do not use copyrighted images without permission or photos taken from other websites unless you have the legal right to use them.

Communicate Responsibly

Clear communication leads to successful transactions.

When messaging another user:

• Answer questions honestly.
• Respond within a reasonable time.
• Keep discussions relevant to the transaction.
• Avoid spam or repeated unwanted messages.

If you are no longer interested in a transaction, politely let the other person know.

Respect Agreed Arrangements

If you agree to meet a buyer or seller:

• Arrive on time.
• Inform the other person if you are delayed.
• Cancel appointments as early as possible if necessary.
• Honour agreed prices whenever possible.

Reliable behaviour builds trust throughout the Bayosell community.

Keep the Marketplace Safe

Help us maintain a secure environment by following our Safety Tips.

Always:

• Meet in public places whenever possible.
