====== Requirements ======

  * Before posting, you must enable [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/help:Private%20Messaging|private messaging]] so that other members can communicate with you privately.
  * Only memberships older than 1 year are allowed to post in the classifieds area. There are NO exceptions to this requirement so please do not contact moderators to ask for an exemption.

====== Managing your Post ======

  * Be descriptive about the item in question. Include the price, description, the condition, location, payment options, delivery methods and all other relevant information.
  * You may use the [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/-/files|File Uploader]] to upload images of your items, then link them in the URL field. You can do so by clicking on 'My Account' on the top menu, then 'files' in the second level menu.
  * Please mark the post as ended if the item is no longer available, you have found the item or you have decided not to continue with the classified request. Classifieds posts won't be unpublished.
  * Do not repost the same item, less than 1 month after the initial post, even if the price, quantity or terms have changed.
  * Update your post if you are no longer seeking buyers or sellers - for example, once the item has been sold, please mark your item as ended. There is an 'End' button.
  * Note that classifieds listings are automatically marked as 'expired' after 60 days, if they have not been ended before that time.
  * Users are limited to 1 classified post every 24 hours or 2 classifieds posts every 7 days. There is no exception to this.

====== Warning ======

  * OzBargain does not offer buyer or seller protection, OzBargain acts as a market place, please beware of the risk and do not proceed if you don't feel comfortable.
  * OzBargain  takes no responsibility for the condition of physical goods, failed deliveries or financial transactions. OzBargain will not be involved in any disputes that occur.
