Auction Rules
Things To Keep In Mind

Our vision is to build a trustworthy community where you should treat other people the way you'd want to be treated. It's a little cliche, but a site like this just won't work if it's anything else.
Prohibited Auction Items

If you see your auctions disappear or your credit balances go down it's most likely because Listia has deleted one of your auctions. We reserve the right to delete any auctions containing or related to these items without notice. We reserve the right to delete auctions that appear to be illegal, fake, fraudulent, incomplete or duplicates at our discretion. We also reserve the right to delete any auctions that we deem inappropriate for Listia without notice or explanation. Repeated violation of these rules may result in account suspension.
