Do not start listings with all CAPITALS in the TITLE, it will be deleted.
There are no commercial postings. In order to sell on Hypebeast.com forums, you are not representing a company. You are an individual who wants to get rid of their extra stuff.
Rules for For Sale listings [FS]
* You are permitted ONE listing per forum. Edit your current listing with new items instead of creating a new one or PM "Admin" to close your current thread (make sure to include the URL in the PM). Violation of this rule may result in a ban/suspension from the Marketplace, with or without warning.
* No eBay Links are allowed.
* Picture Requirements
1. At least one picture is required for each item you are selling. If your Listing contains no pictures, it will be DELETED.
2. In your pictures, you must have your HB Forum username written in legible standard block letter
English on a piece of paper next to the item you wish to sell. The name card can be either hand-written or typed out. There are no exceptions to this! A paper tag is required - having another object "represent" your tag is not in compliance with this rule.
3. If you post pictures that aren't yours or are stock photos from another site, the post will be DELETED.
4. Pictures must be clear and easy to see the item, low quality camera phone and web cam pictures will not be accepted.
5. Bumps to your listing are permitted once every 48 hours. You can ONLY bump your own listings.
6. You must have been a HB member for at least 90 days AND have at least 50 posts to post a new listing. No exceptions!
7. You must be the owner of ALL items you sell! This means it is strictly prohibited to sell for friends, users who do not meet the selling requirements, or banned users. Selling for friends will result in a suspension/ban for both users.
8. Please make your selling post is in the appropriate forum under the correct section. i.e. if your selling clothes put it under the clothing section, and if your selling shoes put it under the shoes section.
9. Detailed information about the shoe. Brand, model, what it comes with, details about the shoe itself. Be SURE to include all details on the condition of the items - including any marks, scuffs, etc. Leaving out critical information regarding the items is prohibited and considered fraud.
10. Include a price range and/or items you are looking to trade. Also include any additional contact information.
11. When selling multiple items, they should be put together in the same thread (if they fit within the same forum). Multiple listings in the same forum will not be tolerated. You are permitted one listing, per forum, per month.
Rules for Wanted Listings [WTB]
* Attempting to use the Wanted forum to sell or trade your items is strictly prohibited. First time violations will result in a ban from the board or Marketplace. These forums should be used to list items you are currently looking for, not items you are currently looking to get rid of.
* Bumps are permitted once every 48 hours and may only bump your own Wanted thread. Users should use Private Messages to contact topic posters if they have items that fit their wanted list. Do not contact users with items that do not fit their wanted list - repeated violations will result in a ban from the Marketplace or board.
* Please post your wanted thread in the correct subforum (Clothing for clothes, Shoes for Shoes), or Wanted: Other Stuff if you are not looking for shoes or clothes.
* Include the year, brand, model, and color of the shoe you are looking for. A picture of the shoe in the colorway you are looking for (optional, but helpful).
* Size and condition you are looking for.
* Price range you are willing to pay.
