Community Rules
We want to build a friendly and positive community here at Cartspree! Our Community Rules serve as guidelines for all buyers and sellers to preserve a safe environment for shopping and selling on-the-go. Go through these do’s and don’ts when using our online platform. By using Cartspree, you agree to our Terms of Service found here.
We are committed to keeping our community safe with everybody’s effort.
The Do’s
1. Sell, not advertise
Cartspree is designed as a venue to assist transactions between buyers and sellers -- not a platform for advertisements. You should only list products that you are intending to sell on Cartspree and shall not post items for the purpose of advertising.
Here are some examples of advertising:
- Adding a link on your product page that leads to a separate website.
- Any text in your product description and/or photos informing buyers to reach you via other platforms such as Whatsapp or Facebook. (We understand the need for buyers and sellers to communicate with one another. The Chat Now (Available soon) function in Cartspree provides an easy way for both parties to connect!)
2. Make your listing shine
No buyer will be interested in a listing that has poor quality photos. Flaunt your photography skills and create some quality shots - check out our tips here.
Aside from that, be honest! Give your product an accurate and detailed description. Nobody likes a nasty surprise when it comes to making a purchase. Being truthful will increase your chances of obtaining positive ratings and reviews from your buyers.
3. Be respectful
We want to foster a safe environment for people to enjoy mobile shopping. Keep your content clean and suitable for everyone - this means no vulgar language, hate messages, or spam. As a community in Cartspree, we urge all users to treat each other with kindness and respect. Whether you’re a buyer or seller, follow the guidelines here to ensure smooth transactions for everyone!
4. Maintain an excellent selling record
Create a good customer experience by being attentive and responsive to your buyers' needs. Happy buyers are more likely to make repeat purchases and give you a positive seller rating.
Keep your selling record clean by maintaining sufficient stock and by shipping orders on time to reduce unnecessary cancellations, returns and refunds. To ensure a great experience for all users, Cartspree may send a caution to sellers with poor selling records. In some cases, Cartspree may also remove certain selling privileges (e.g. free shipping, recommended seller), lower your products' search ranking, limit or suspend your account access.
Here are some tips to maintain an excellent selling record:
· Monitor and update your stock at least once a day
· Provide a detailed and honest description, including actual pictures, of the items you are selling
· Respond to buyers' queries in a timely manner
· Ensure your products are in good condition before shipping
· Pack orders carefully to avoid damage during delivery
· Respond promptly to any refund requests
· If you have to cancel orders due to unforeseen events, inform buyers immediately with a valid reason
The Dont’s
1. Putting irrelevant or an excessive number of search terms in the title and description
It is important that users are able to quickly find what they are searching for. Putting in additional brands, keywords, or hashtags in the title or description that are irrelevant to the product may be flagged and banned by our system. Examples of what not to include:
Multiple brands in one listing name (e.g.,Nike Adidas Puma Reebok Under Armour Running Shoes)
Mention of irrelevant brands in product description (e.g., Apple iPhone 6s product but mentions Samsung or Nokia in product description)
Repetitive keywords (e.g., Apple iPhone 6s Apple iPhone 6s Apple iPhone 6s Apple iPhone 6s Apple iPhone 6s)
2. Creating multiple listings of the same product
Please do not create multiple listings of the same product. Such listings are automatically banned by our system.
3. Misleading Pricing
Please do not list products at prices that you do not intend to sell them for (e.g., listing a product at P5.00 then asking the buyer to pay P300). Such listings will automatically be banned by our system.
4. Infringing content & impersonation
Any deceptive manner of impersonation is a serious offense in Cartspree. If you choose to use someone else’s photo, respect their rights and give credit where it’s due.
Here are some examples of infringing content & impersonation:
- Collecting and using others’ personal data without their consent (e.g. contact details, photo)
- Using someone’s identity as your own for credibility purposes
Help us keep the Cartspree community strong! If you find any user impersonating you or someone else, please contact us here.
5. Counterfeit & imitation products
Only genuine products can be listed on Cartspree. Please be aware that counterfeit products are prohibited. Cartspree reserves the right to report and delete any listing of a counterfeit nature.
