Code of Conduct
Marketplace Conduct Guidelines:
This is something that both sellers and buyers alike should read. It contains important information about Menewsha's Marketplace and how we encourage users to fairly exchange with one another.
Sellers:
We wholly encourage sellers to
honor their auto-buy prices. For example, let's say a seller wants to sell a rare item for an auto-buy price of 15k. If a buyer then came by willing to pay that 15k, the seller
should not ask the buyer to suddenly pay more than their initial auto-buy. It is dishonorable and a form of greed that Menewsha looks deeply down upon. A permanent infraction worth 250 points might be placed on a seller's account if they are found to be manipulating a buyer in any shape or form. We kindly ask that sellers be upfront with their auto-buys and honor them once they have been set. This does not apply to sellers who are uncertain of market prices and merely wish to "take offers," although the latter will be watched if we feel a seller is manipulating a buyer.
Sellers are more than welcome to change their auto-buys whenever they like so long as it is
before a buyer offers to pay that price. Once that line has been crossed it is not OK for a seller to ask for more gold or items. Until then, sellers can increase or decrease their auto-buys whenever they wish.
In the end, we merely wish for sellers to be fair. We will never dictate who can sell what items and for how much, we merely wish to create a friendlier environment in the Exchange. Sellers are more than free to put extremely high auto-buys on their items so long as they
honor them.
Buyers:
We wholly encourage buyers to refrain from pressuring sellers into selling their items. If a seller is simply taking offers on their items or doing an auction, we encourage buyers to remain patient. Should a buyer harass a seller too much about their sales a permanent infraction worth 250 points might be placed on the buyer’s account.
Both:
Price checks! Before buying and selling, please make sure to get a good feel of the market. We will not issue warnings to buyers for sellers who mistakenly let an item worth 1500 gold go for 250 gold, nor will we issue warnings to sellers who sell an item to a buyer well over market price.
If ever in doubt, ask your fellow marketers. We have a good group of members here who are kind and approachable, and above all, more than willing to offer advice! The marketers are the most active in the Exchange.
