Listing & Photo Standards
What a listing must have
| Field | Rule |
|---|---|
| Category | Chosen from the list. One physical unit is one listing. |
| Make and model | The model number exactly as on the rating plate. |
| Serial number | Required. It is private — customers never see it — and is checked against every other listing to stop duplicates and stolen goods. |
| Condition | One of: New in Box, New Open Box, New Scratch & Dent, Refurbished. |
| Title | Make, model, type, size, colour. No capitals, emoji, promotional words, prices or contact details. |
| Description | What it is and every defect, in plain sentences. No contact details or links. |
| Price | Canadian dollars, before tax. |
| Retail price | Optional. If given, it must be higher than your price and you must say where it comes from. |
| Size and weight | Width, depth, height and weight. Our crews are staffed against them. |
| Test | That it was tested and works, and how it was tested. |
| Warranty | At least 12 months, from you. |
| Fulfilment | Which way the unit will reach the customer (see Fulfilment & Delivery Standards). |
Photos
Photos of the actual unit are the single biggest reason a customer trusts a listing. They are checked by software and by a person.
| Used, open-box or refurbished | New in box | |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum photos | 6 | 4 |
| Required shots | Front (the whole unit), back or side, inside with doors open, controls powered on; a close-up of every defect on a scratch-and-dent unit. | Front of the unit. |
| Always required | A clear photo of the rating plate showing model and serial (private evidence — never shown to customers). | The same. |
| Size | At least 1600 px on the long edge is best; 1000 px is the minimum. Up to 15 MB each. | The same. |
| Format | JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC. | The same. |
Photo rules
- Real photos of this unit — not the manufacturer's pictures, not another seller's. Up to 20 per unit.
- In focus, level and evenly lit, with the whole unit in frame against a plain, uncluttered background.
- No watermarks, logos, phone numbers, web addresses, text overlays, borders or collages. No people, pets, house numbers or personal information.
- Every photo is re-saved by us, which removes its hidden data (including location). The original file is never kept.
- Upload files only. We do not accept links to photos hosted elsewhere.
How review works
Every listing from a new seller is reviewed by a person before it goes live. Reviewers may re-grade the condition you chose, ask for changes, or reject the listing for a stated reason. The reasons we use are:
- Photos are not sufficient
- Photos are not of the actual unit
- Model does not match the rating plate
- Condition is overstated
- A defect is not disclosed
- Prohibited item
- The retail / compare-at price cannot be verified
- Text contains contact details or sends buyers off the platform
- This serial number is already listed
- Other (explained)
A listing that is for sale can only have its price lowered. To change anything else, pause it; it will be reviewed again.
