Marketplace Rules

1. Be a Music Lover, Not a Jerk

This community runs on trust and good faith.

• Be respectful in messages and reviews
• Treat others how you'd want to be treated
• Disagreements happen — handle them calmly

If you're here to scam, mislead, or stir trouble — this isn't your place.

2. Be Honest About CD Condition

Always list CDs accurately using our CD Quality Rating System.

If a CD skips, scratches, or has damage: Say it clearly.

Misrepresenting condition breaks trust and may lead to account suspension.

3. No Scams, No Counterfeits

You must not:

• Sell counterfeit or pirated CDs
• List items you don't own
• Send knowingly faulty or unplayable discs
• Misrepresent what you're selling

If something feels dodgy, it probably is.

4. Ratings & Reviews Matter

By default, all completed transactions start at 5 CDs (we use CDs instead of stars).

If you leave:

• 1, 2, or 3 CDs → a written explanation of at least 25 words is required

This keeps reviews fair, transparent, and useful for everyone.

5. Postage Is Your Responsibility

Sellers are responsible for:

• Packaging CDs safely
• Posting within a reasonable timeframe
• Providing tracking if available

Buyers should understand that:

• Shipping risks exist
• CD Sauce doesn't control postal services

6. Disputes: Keep It Human First

If there's an issue:

1. Talk to each other first
2. Be reasonable — mistakes happen
3. Try to resolve it fairly

If that doesn't work, reach out to us. Because we hold payment until a CD is delivered, we can step in and help arrange a refund when something genuinely goes wrong — though we can't promise a particular outcome in every case.

7. When We Step In

CD Sauce may suspend or remove accounts that:

• Repeatedly break rules
• Mislead other users
• Abuse the platform or community

We don't want to police the place — but we will protect it.
