Taambe Marketplace Policies

Seller classifications and allowances

• Individual is a primary seller classification for sellers operating in a personal capacity. Marketplace allowances are configured by Taambe policy and may change.
• Retailer is a primary seller classification for registered businesses. Approved Retailers may receive business-focused tools and configurable marketplace allowances.
• Student and Charity are additional verified statuses. They do not replace your primary classification, Identity Verification, or marketplace rules.

Listing quality

• Use original photographs of the actual item. Misleading, copied, or AI-generated item representations are not allowed.
• Describe the item accurately, including its condition.
• Duplicate or near-identical listings may be reviewed, limited, or removed so buyers can find distinct offers.
• Prohibited, illegal, counterfeit, or unsafe items are not allowed.

Verification

• Identity Verification confirms the seller's identity, supports fraud prevention, and may be required before selling. Approval helps build trust but does not publish legal identity details.
• Retailer Verification confirms that a Store operates as a registered business. Approval may provide Retailer Verified status, higher configurable marketplace allowances, and business-focused tools; it does not change which products may be sold, and Identity Verification remains separate where required.
• Student Verification confirms current enrollment at an eligible educational institution. Approved users receive an additional Student Verified status and may qualify for configurable student benefits; it does not replace Identity Verification or change what may be sold.
• Charity Verification confirms that an applicant represents an eligible registered charity or nonprofit. Approved applicants receive an additional Charity Verified status and may qualify for configurable charity benefits; it does not replace Identity Verification.
• Verified badges and statuses show only an approved public-safe status. They do not disclose documents, legal identity details, or private application information.

Listing allowances and publishing limits

• Active-listing allowances are platform settings, not legal limits. The effective allowance shown in Marketplace Status is authoritative for your account.
• Daily publishing limits use a rolling 24-hour window and are configured by marketplace policy. A limit can change as your applicable policy or verified status changes.
• Taambe may review activity that appears commercial to ensure the appropriate seller classification and marketplace requirements are used. A review does not by itself make a legal determination about a seller.

Marketplace enforcement and appeals

• Taambe may limit, remove, or review listings, accounts, or marketplace features under these policies. Internal fraud and review signals are not published.
• You may contact support to appeal an enforcement decision and provide relevant context. An appeal does not guarantee a different outcome.

Verification Data Privacy and Confidentiality

This section applies to Identity, Retailer, Student, and Charity verification applications.

• Verification documents and application data are treated as confidential and used for verification, compliance, fraud prevention, marketplace safety, dispute handling where necessary, and related legitimate operational purposes.
• They are not displayed publicly. Buyers, other sellers, and ordinary users cannot access them.
• Access is limited to authorized staff with the permissions needed for their work.
• Verification data is not sold or used for third-party marketing.
• Disclosure may occur where required by law or a lawful authority, or to necessary service providers operating under appropriate confidentiality and security obligations.
• A public badge reveals only the approved verification status, never the underlying documents or private identity information.
