Listing Policy

Identical Listings: You may not list more than 1 identical item in any more than 2 individual categories. This rule is in place to improve the user experience. Arma Auction offers Free Membership Free Unlimited listings Free Store (Excluding: Automotive, Marine and Real Estate theses will be charged a one time listing fee until sold with no final value fees feature fees or relisting fees) and we need to ensure that identical listings are not excessive and therefore abusing the FREE listing policy.
If you have a multiple quantity available, please enter the quantity available when listing the item. See Dutch Auction items in the help topic How To Sell for more information.
Items are considered identical based on such information as the title, pictures and description (including items with different variations). Although you may have added the different variations via your descriptions, subtitles or pictures, this will not be sufficient if your titles are exactly the same. Titles will need to be different, even by the addition of just the one differentiating word, such as 'Small', 'Medium' or 'Large'.
Where there are more than 5 items which appear to be duplicated (1 item with more than 5 variations in title, description or pictures), we require the variations to be clearly advertised within the item description instead of the title. We DO NOT ALLOW items with different variations to be listed with different titles more than 5 times. Only 1 listing will be allowed with a description outlining the variations.
Example: Let's say you sell Men's T-Shirts and have 10 colours and 3 sizes available. You are entitled to list 3 separate listings representing your items (Small, Medium and Large). The colours however, can ONLY be outlined within the description of each listing. Title: Men's T-Shirt Casual Wear BNWT Large
Description: Available in: RED, BLUE, GREEN, YELLOW, ORANGE, BLACK, WHITE, GREY etc.

Note: Misuse of this policy will result in your items being removed without a refund and or account suspension.
