At any one time you may not promote identical items in more than five (5) listings. This will prevent listing "Flooding".

Links to web sites or pages offering merchandise is not permitted. Links to sites that solicit User Ids or passwords from buyers. Choice Listings A Choice Listing occurs when a seller allows buyers to choose from a selection of items. Choice Listings can be problematic because the item agreed upon is negotiated offline and can lead to either misrepresentation or fraud.

Listing Techniques Setup to Circumvent YaHaggle Offering the opportunity to purchase the item or other merchandise outside of YaHaggle. Listings with low prices but unreasonably high shipping or handling costs. Listing an item that requires or offers an additional purchase. Listings with an e-mail address or domain name in the title. Listing Catalog Sales Users may not use systems or techniques to post Catalogs or links. Some examples include:Offering in a listing the opportunity to purchase the item or other merchandise outside of YaHaggle. Catalog Sales - listings of catalogs or links from which buyers may directly order items are prohibited. In these situations, the seller will typically offer the catalog for low bid prices and complete sales outside of the Auction for items found in the catalog. Old, collectible catalogs (i.e., those that you cannot order from any longer) are permissible. Reserve Price Listing Violations Reserve price stated in the description of the item when it is not listed as a reserve listing. Seller states buyer is obligated to purchase when reserve is not met. Misleading Titles and Keyword Spamming Excessive use of key words, including (but not limited to) brand names, which are referenced for the purpose of attracting or diverting buyers to a listing will be considered key word spamming and is not permitted. Payment Surcharges Sellers may not charge buyers an additional fee for their use of ordinary forms of payment, including acceptance of checks, money orders, electronic transfers or credit cards. Such costs should be built into the price of the item. The following surcharges may be added to the final price. Sellers may charge reasonable shipping and handling fee to the final price of their item, providing that this         fee is disclosed up front in the listing. A shipping and handling fee can cover the seller's reasonable costs for         mailing, packaging and handling the item. Shipping and handling fees cannot be listed as a percentage of the         final sale price. Sellers may pass along the costs associated with using a third party escrow service, if the buyer chooses to         use an escrow service. Sellers may choose to accept payment in a different currency than the currency listed on YaHaggle. If the         buyer chooses to take advantage of this optional payment method, the seller may pass along to the buyer         any costs associated with the currency exchange, provided that the costs are disclosed and agreed to in         advance by the buyer. Profanity The use of profanity or patently vulgar language is not allowed. Including the use of language that is racist, hateful, sexual, or obscene in nature. This policy extends to text within auction listings, or anywhere else within the YaHaggle site. Allowances are made for certain items listed on the core site that may contain profane words that are a part of the title. An example of such an item might be a comic book with profanity in the comic book title. If the profane words are part of a title for the item being sold, sellers may 'blurb' out the bulk of the offending word with asterisks (i.e., s*** or f***).
