💡 Frequently Asked Questions
- Why doesn’t my post appear in the board’s Popular or Latest lists?
That’s correct! Trading posts only appear under the board’s “Trading” tab. They do not show up in the board’s Popular or Latest lists, nor in the site-wide Popular or Latest lists. - Will my personal profile page still show my trading posts?
Yes, trading posts will still appear on your personal profile page but will not appear in the board’s or site-wide Popular and Latest lists. - 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 been activated for that board yet. - Where can I find the trading post rules?
Please refer to this article. Posts violating the rules will be removed, and accounts may be suspended. - Can I post a trading post without using the designated trading title categories?
No, this is considered a violation. Please select the appropriate trading category title when posting trading content.
👮🏼 Related Rules
- When posting trading, rental, or group purchase content, be sure to 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.
- For selling posts (#I want to sell), you must provide the following four pieces of information truthfully: product name, quantity, unit price, and real photos. All four are required. “Real photos” must be actual photos of the product (including full views and accessories) and cannot be images from the internet or e-commerce platforms.
- Selling posts (#I want to sell) may only sell secondhand 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 units of the same item. Pre-sale or non-stock items are not allowed. Posts from purchasing agents, businesses, or individual sellers acting as businesses will be removed as violations.
- All posts are prohibited from including external marketplace links.
- Items prohibited from trading cannot be posted, such as: tobacco and alcohol, drugs, medical devices (contact lenses, pregnancy tests, invasive beauty or leg slimming devices), adult products, identity documents, intimate clothing, expired cosmetics or skincare products, repackaged cosmetics or skincare products, securities, government-prohibited items, or any items prohibited by law. Posting these items may result in a suspension from 30 days up to permanent. For all rules and prohibited items, please refer to this article.
- No fees may be collected in advance during the house viewing phase of rentals. Verified reports of violations will result in unconditional removal of content and possible account suspension.
- Rental posts must not list properties that are ineligible for rental subsidies.
- Agents may post rental or seeking rental posts but cannot charge service fees. Agent service fees are considered commercial behavior and are prohibited site-wide. Violations may result in site-wide account suspension.

- To protect privacy and safety, personal information must not be disclosed. Transactions should primarily be conducted in person.
⚠️ Important Notes
- Dcard does not intervene in disputes between members. Please carefully consider the risks of online trading before proceeding. If your post complies with the rules, transactions are private agreements between buyer and seller via direct messages. If you feel the transaction does not match the post description, please resolve it directly with the other party. If your rights are harmed, we recommend seeking legal assistance promptly. The Dcard team will cooperate with judicial authorities as required.
- When trading, try to conduct transactions in person to avoid scams.
- Group purchases of Netflix, Disney+, Spotify, and other family plans are common scam methods, such as organizing a group, collecting money, then removing paying members from the family plan. To protect your rights, communicate face-to-face and verify the other party’s identity. Save screenshots of all communications as evidence. If disputes arise, seek legal assistance promptly. The Dcard team will cooperate with judicial authorities as required.
