Arrangements that do not belong on Dibs

• Paid sales, auctions, rentals, loans, deposits, barters, raffles, investment solicitations, fundraising, paid services, jobs, or commercial lead generation.
• Empty, misleading, duplicate, bait-and-switch, unavailable, or purely promotional listings.
• Anything that requires the claimant to leave Dibs and pay, subscribe, reveal credentials, or complete unrelated tasks before receiving the item.

When you are unsure

Do not post the item. Contact hello@rpinnotech.com with a description that does not include unnecessary personal data. Dibs may remove an item or restrict an account while evaluating risk, but members remain responsible for following law and checking official recall and disposal guidance.
