Treat others with kindness and respect.

Behind every listing and every message is a real person.

Disagreements happen, but personal attacks, harassment, bullying or abusive language are never acceptable.

Only post genuine listings, businesses and community notices.

Always describe items accurately and use your own photographs whenever possible.

If something has faults, say so.

MarketPond was created to strengthen our local communities.

Support local businesses, local makers, local charities and your neighbours whenever you can.

Reply politely.

If you've sold an item, mark it as sold.

If you're no longer interested, let the other person know.

Whenever possible, upload genuine photographs of the item you're selling.

Avoid misleading images or heavily edited AI-generated pictures that don't accurately represent the product.

Please don't post:

If you're unsure whether something is allowed, contact us first.

Inspect items before paying.

Never share sensitive financial or personal information with strangers.

If something doesn't feel right, trust your instincts.
