1. The Listing Must Be Legal
Do not post listings that contain offers, conditions, or information that violate applicable laws or third-party rights, or that facilitate such violations (e.g., requiring a passport as collateral).
You may only post listings for goods, services, job vacancies, real estate, or other offers (collectively referred to as "goods") if you have all necessary rights, licenses, registrations, permits, certificates, etc.
Before posting a listing, you must ensure that all its elements (including photos, videos, links to external sites where allowed, etc.) comply with the law. You bear full responsibility for any legal violations or infringement of third-party rights.
2. Information in the Listing Must Be Accurate and Complete
Posting misleading information about your goods or offer is considered a serious violation of next2u's rules.
This means that:
- All listing parameters (title, description, category, photos, videos, etc.) must be consistent with each other and reflect the actual conditions of your offer.
- A valid phone number must be provided for contact.
If the law requires certain details to be included in your offer, you must provide them.
You are fully responsible for any listing that lacks mandatory information or contains inaccurate details.
Agencies and dealers may not post listings under private accounts, use "Private Individual" profiles, or mark "Owner" in the "Ownership" field unless they genuinely own the property.
3. The Listing Must Match the Categories on next2u
Place ads only for those products for which next2u has a thematic category. Do not place ads about accepting gifts, ordering services, collecting financial assistance, dating, finding, losing, buying or searching. Exceptions: you can place an ad about buying real estate only in the "Real Estate" category, an ad about looking for a job or employee - only in the "Work" category.
Ads must be placed in the appropriate thematic categories.
Ads can be placed within one category using only one profile (including if you are acting within the framework of one company or joint business, family or in the interests of your friends). You can place ads only from one private profile. Features may be provided for related profiles.
It is prohibited to place several products in one ad, except for cases when they form a set or correspond to the same category. This means that you can offer a fishing rod and a diving suit in one ad in the "Hunting and Fishing" category, but you cannot offer a car for driving on a fishing trip. If an ad contains several products that belong to the same category, each product must have a price.
Exceptions:
- In the categories "Real Estate", "Transport", "Vacancies", "Phones", "Repair and Construction", "Car Rental" and "Special Equipment Rental" you must place a separate ad for each offer.
- In the categories "Personal Items", "Spare Parts", "Business Equipment", "Furniture and Interior", "Video Cards" and "Game Consoles" it is allowed to offer several products in one ad if such products are a set from the same brand.
We have the right to set limits on the number of free ads for certain categories so that users can see offers from different sellers. Upon reaching the limit within 30 and/or 365 calendar days prior to the placement of the advertisement, subsequent submission of a new advertisement or activation of a previously created advertisement in the relevant categories is possible for a fee, in accordance with the Terms of paid placement of advertisements.
4. The Offer Must Be Specific, Existing, and Relevant
Your listing must feature a real, existing item with consumer value. For example, you cannot sell "a hole from a bagel" or rent out an apartment "on Saturn."
If you are selling an item, it must be in your possession. If offering a service, you must be able to provide it. If renting out property, you must be ready to lease it.
Pre-orders (including international shipments) and made-to-order items are allowed in some subcategories (Furniture & Interior, Repair & Construction, Kitchenware, Spare Parts). If offering a custom order, select "Made to Order" in the "Availability" field.
In some categories, you can specify the number of available units. If not specified, next2u assumes a single unit is available.
Maintain up-to-date information about the quantity of goods in stock in your next2u profile.
Auction sales are not allowed.
If you have sold an item or your offer is no longer relevant for other reasons, remove the ad from publication as soon as possible. Do not change the content of a previously published ad. In particular, do not upload a photo of another item or property. Create a new ad for a new offer.
Do not place ads without the purpose of concluding a deal regarding the exact product specified in the ad (fictitious ads). It is prohibited to place ads for the purpose of lead generation - obtaining contact information of potential buyers.
Please remember that posting an advertisement may entail an obligation on your part to a potential buyer to conclude and execute a transaction in accordance with civil law.
Do not post general advertising information in your ads without a specific offer. Ads on next2u are posted to inform users about the possibility and conditions of transactions. The ads themselves, as well as the information contained in them, are not aimed at generating and maintaining interest in a specific person, their product or service.
Post ads at a real address, that is, at the address where the product is physically located (from where you can send it or where the buyer can come to view it and (or) pick it up).
5. Rules for Reposting and Similar Listings
You can only post one active ad for one product.
This means that you cannot post duplicate ads offering the same product, including in different cities or regions, as well as in different categories.
A duplicate ad (duplicate) will also be considered to be posted if:
- you remove the ad from publication or delete it (before its posting period expires), and then post a new ad with the same product, including in another region or in another category;
- you edit the published ad, replacing the offered product with another, and then post a new ad offering the product from the original version of the old ad;
- you post a general ad for several products, and then post separate ads for these same products.
If the product characteristics specified in the ads match, the later ad is considered a duplicate and may be blocked.
We consider posting duplicate ads (duplicates) to be a gross violation of next2u rules. In case of repeated or malicious violations, we may restrict access to your profile on next2u.
