10. Age and Parental Supervision

  • Users under 18 require parental supervision for all trades

  • We recommend parents create joint accounts with their children

For Parents: We encourage open communication about online trading safety. Review our safety guidelines with your children and establish clear rules about what items can be traded and where meetings can occur.

11. Platform Expectations and Limitations

  • No guaranteed outcomes - Successful trades depend on user engagement
  • Platform operates like social networking - responses are not guaranteed
  • Users may not respond to messages or trade requests
  • Some items may be harder to trade than others
  • Premium features improve visibility but don't guarantee trades
  • All purchases are final - plan your spending accordingly

Important: Like dating sites or social platforms, user engagement cannot be guaranteed. Purchase premium features only if you understand this limitation.
