Community Guidelines
HobbyTrade UK works because most people are decent. These are the rules that keep it that way.
Be straight with people
- Describe items accurately, including faults.
- Honour agreed prices and meeting times, or say early if plans change.
- Leave reviews that reflect what actually happened.
Be respectful
- No harassment, threats, hate speech or discriminatory language.
- No spam, bulk messaging, or contacting members about unrelated business.
- No sharing another member's personal details.
Keep it legal
- Follow our Prohibited Items Policy and UK law.
- No listings for items you do not own or cannot lawfully sell.
- No attempts to move regulated sales off-platform to avoid the rules.
How we enforce this
Moderators can remove listings, hide reviews, issue warnings, suspend accounts and permanently ban members. Serious breaches — particularly prohibited items, suspected fraud or stolen goods — can be reported to the police. If you think a decision was wrong, contact us and we will review it.
