Listing rules: what is allowed

Prohibited items

These listings are removed and repeat posts can close an account.

• Weapons, ammunition, and anything designed to cause harm.
• Drugs, prescription medicine, and drug paraphernalia.
• Alcohol, tobacco, vapes, and cannabis products.
• Live animals sold as goods — rehoming posts belong in community groups.
• Recalled products, recalled child car seats, and expired safety gear.
• Gift cards, tickets, and digital accounts sold outside official channels.
• Government documents, license plates, and anything requiring a license transfer.
• Adult content and services.

Counterfeit and stolen goods

Authenticity matters to buyers and to the brands you resell.

• No replica, counterfeit, or “inspired by” branded goods presented as genuine.
• Describe replicas honestly or do not list them at all.
• Serial numbers and original packaging should be shown when you have them.
• You must own the item and be able to hand it over — no drop-shipping from unverified suppliers.
• Listings that look like a stolen-item pattern (no charger, no paperwork, no history) are reported to moderators.

Scams and fraud

Most lost money starts with someone moving the conversation off-platform.

• Never ask a buyer to pay a deposit before seeing the item.
• No wire transfers, gift cards, crypto, or money orders as payment.
• Do not ask for shipping on a local-pickup listing, or for a “holding fee”.
• Ignore overpayment offers and requests to refund the difference.
• Keep conversations in CompraPostea messages so moderators can see what happened.
• Report anyone who asks you to send codes, bank details, or to move to another app immediately.

Unsafe or unlawful listings

Some categories carry legal requirements or real physical risk.

• No stolen property, no items you cannot legally sell, and no services you are not licensed to perform.
• Electrical, gas, roofing, and structural work must be performed by licensed trades.
• Medical, legal, and financial services must state credentials honestly.
• Firearms services, towing without a permit, and unlicensed childcare are not allowed.
• Anything requiring a background check or a permit must say so in the description.

Services and jobs

Service and job posts use their own fields, not product fields.

• Say where you work and how far you travel — that is what buyers filter on.
• Jobs must name the employer, the type of work, and a real pay range or hourly rate.
• No commission-only roles hidden behind a salary range.
• No recruiting fees, training fees, or “pay to start” job offers.
• No multi-level marketing recruitment, and no posts that require buying a starter kit.

Reporting and moderation

• Every listing has a Report link with a reason: scam, prohibited item, counterfeit, misleading, harassment, safety, or other.
• Reports go to the moderation queue. Moderators can remove a listing, restore it if it was flagged by mistake, or mark it sold.
• Repeat offences pause the account's ability to post, and confirmed scams close it.
• Under a suspected counterfeit or vehicle fraud report, the listing status changes to pending review and it stops appearing in search.
• Save your messages and photos until a report is resolved — they are the evidence a moderator reviews.
