> No deposit before you have seen the item in person.

## How trust works

- Every listing shows the seller's trust score and tier.
- It also shows whether a member has met them in person.
- Reputation follows the person across the boards.
- Posting needs a finished profile — nothing is anonymous.
- Sold items keep their threads, so the price stays as a reference.

## Meeting a seller

- In public, in daylight.
- Bring someone along for a bigger purchase.
- Test the item before paying.
- Ask for receipts and boxes on electronics.

## Buying a motorbike

- Check the OR/CR against the engine and chassis numbers.
- Confirm the seller's name is on the CR.
- Treat an open deed of sale as a warning sign.

## What is not allowed

- Illegal items and counterfeits.
- Live animals.
- Investment or lending schemes dressed up as listings.
- Repeated reposts.
- A removed post costs the poster 20 points and goes on their record.
