💡 Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why does my post not appear in the board’s Popular or Latest lists?
   That’s right! Trading posts only appear under the board’s “Trading” tab; they do not show in the board’s Popular or Latest lists, nor in the site-wide Popular or Latest lists.
2. Will my trading posts still show on my personal profile page? 
   Yes, trading posts will still be displayed on your personal profile page, but will not appear in the board or site-wide Popular and Latest lists.
3. Why doesn’t my board have a “Trading” tab? 
   The trading feature is being rolled out gradually and must be enabled by the board first to appear.
   If you don’t see this tab on your board, it means the feature has not yet been activated on that board.
4. Where can I find the trading post rules?
   Please refer to this article. Posts violating the rules will be removed or may result in account suspension.
5. Can I post a trading post without using the dedicated trading title categories?
   No, this is a violation. Please always select the appropriate trading title category when posting trading content.

👮🏼 Related Rules

1. When posting content for trading, renting, or group purchases, you must select the corresponding title category (#I want to buy / #I want to sell / #Group purchase / #Rental information). Posts with incorrect or missing categories will be removed as violations.
2. For selling posts (#I want to sell), you must provide the following four details truthfully: product name, quantity, unit price, and actual photos. All four are mandatory. The “actual photos” must be photos taken of the actual product (including full view and accessories). Photos from the internet or e-commerce platforms are not allowed.
3. Selling posts (#I want to sell) can only be for second-hand physical goods. Note the price and quantity limits: the unit price for a single item cannot exceed NT$50,000, and you can sell up to 3 pieces of the same item. Pre-sale or out-of-stock items are not allowed. Posts from purchasing agents, merchants, or individual sellers acting as merchants will be removed for violation.
4. Posting external marketplace links is strictly prohibited in all posts.
5. Prohibited items for trading include: tobacco, alcohol, drugs, medical devices (contact lenses, pregnancy tests, invasive energy beauty or leg devices), adult products, identification documents, intimate clothing, expired cosmetics or skincare products, repackaged cosmetics or skincare products, securities, government-prohibited items, or any items prohibited by law. Posting such items may result in account suspension from 30 days up to permanent. For all rules and prohibited items, please refer to this article.
6. No advance fees may be collected during house viewing stages for rentals. Verified reports will lead to immediate removal of content and possible account suspension.
7. Rental listings must not post properties that are not eligible for rental subsidies.
8. Agents may post rental or seeking rental ads but cannot charge service fees. Agent service fees are commercial activities prohibited site-wide; violations may lead to permanent site-wide suspension.
9. The same rental property cannot be posted repeatedly within 7 days to avoid occupying board space. Repeated postings will be considered violations.
10. To protect privacy and security, personal information must not be disclosed. Trading should mainly be conducted face-to-face.

⚠️ Notes

1. Dcard will not intervene in disputes between members. Please carefully consider the risks involved in online trading before proceeding. If posts comply with rules, transactions are private agreements between buyers and sellers via private messages. If you find discrepancies from the post description, please negotiate directly with the other party. If your rights are harmed, we recommend seeking legal remedies promptly. The Dcard team will cooperate with judicial authorities as required.
2. When trading, please prioritise face-to-face transactions to avoid scams.
3. Group purchases of Netflix, Disney+, Spotify, and similar family plans are common scam methods, e.g., organisers collect money then remove paid members from the family plan list. To protect your rights, communicate face-to-face and verify the other party’s identity. Take screenshots of all communications for evidence. If disputes arise, seek legal remedies quickly. The Dcard team will cooperate with judicial authorities as required.
