Rules & Regulations


rules simbi

The following are prohibited:



Unused, massed-produced goods

New, massed-produced goods may NOT be bought, sold, or traded on Simbi. Only used goods are permitted. As a service-based community, members may only choose to offer physical items if they are custom handmade crafts or used goods in an effort to reuse & recycle. All pre-made tangible items that don't require customization should be posted on the Simbi Market as they are ready to go and can be simply "Ordered". If the craft is to be created only after a deal is agreed upon, then it should be listed as a service, and not included in the Simbi Market. Any physical item that is not either custom-made by a crafty Simbi member, or a used good, is not allowed. Please see our full list of prohibited items before posting anything to the Market.
