Ad Quality Requirements
By complying with the Ad Quality Requirements, you help potential buyers and clients get a clear understanding of your offer in a convenient format.
Profile and Ad Description
The profile and ad descriptions must contain a minimum amount of information characterizing the offer so that users can make an informed decision about the transaction. Do not include:
- Information unrelated to your offer (e.g., references to the company, third parties, or evaluations of the company and next2u services).
- Statements that buyers may perceive as a recommendation or endorsement of your offer by the company.
Each field should contain only the information it is intended for. If certain fields are mandatory, you will not be able to post the ad without completing them.
Post information in English / French / German / Spanish. Do not write in all caps. Avoid abbreviations and acronyms.
Strictly Prohibited on next2u
next2u strictly prohibits the following content:
- Profanity, erotic, vulgar, or offensive content, defamatory information, and any content that contradicts moral standards and business practices.
- Statements or images that may shock, disgust, or emotionally disturb users (including scenes of violence, cruelty, and their consequences).
- Threats, statements, or images promoting aggression, disrespect, hatred, or enmity.
- Content that encourages or justifies illegal or anti-social actions.
- Information (including images) that is legally prohibited from distribution.
To enhance user experience and search quality, next2u reserves the right to modify and supplement some technical parameters of ads, such as subcategories and the order of photo display.
To improve service quality, next2u may technically adapt certain parts of an ad instead of rejecting it if it violates minor formatting rules (e.g., including contact details or incorrect photo formatting).
