Welcome to Amibay!
While selling can be an easy option, it can sometimes also take a little effort.
There are certain rules that must be met here on Amibay, which some members have trouble following for one reason or another. Anyway, not going to get into all that. I just wanted to make you aware that any item/s priced at £50 and above require proof of ownership for members that do not meet the following requirements.
Selling on AmiBay
You can only sell what you legally own
You may only sell what you own, or have been authorised to sell. In regards to software and firmware devices - unauthorised copies are not permitted to be sold on AmiBay. In particular, there is no legal definition of the term 'abandonware'.
Please see the section on programmable devices for more information about AmiBay's policies on this matter.
Accurate and detailed listing
Your listings should be clear and honest and avoid ambiguity wherever possible. Providing proper descriptions and photographs will help your sales. You must provide as much information as you can, also stating terms and conditions of sale.
Recommended conditions are:
- What payment methods you accept
- Where in the world you will ship to
- Shipping charges
Proof of ownership for items of a value of £50 ( Total sale value inc fees & Postage ) or more is required if you fail either of the following conditions.
Is your post count less than 50? You must provide proof of ownership.
Have you received less than 10 positive feedback? You must provide proof of ownership.
This is to be in the form of a photo of the item with a piece of paper showing the 1:- forum name, 2:- your forum name and 3:- the date the item is listed For Sale.
AmiBay is not an auction site
You must state an asking price for any item you wish to sell. If you do not know how much your item is worth, you will need to do some research. For further guidance see the section on price driving.
Asking for Offers
You must not list something as "open to offers." However, you can declare a price and then state, "or near offers". You are under no obligation to accept a lower offer, however you must inform your prospective buyer that you are not accepting it. You should give your prospective buyer an opportunity to revise their offer before moving on to the next-in-line.
Splitting your lot
Members are not permitted to ask you to split your lot. If you wish to split something and sell as parts, you must state individual prices in the thread for the parts you're wishing to sell.
