Circumventing sales on the marketplace

Shops are not allowed to try to circumvent the marketplace sales process by diverting potential or existing customers to visit any external website to complete a transaction elsewhere. These acts are grounds for shop and/or user deactivation.

It is forbidden for any seller or user to intentionally provide misleading reviews or comments in order to maliciously interfere with their sales or listings. It is not allowed to create new user identities in order to promote or interfere with the sales or reviews of a shop or product listing by upvoting/downvoting or leaving false reviews. These acts are considered fraudulent and are grounds for shop and/or user deactivation.
