Platform rules

Rules that keep the loop fair for everyone.

ValoopR works best when listings, accounts and exchanges remain honest and transparent. These rules keep the platform fair, safe and trustworthy, organised around how you use ValoopR.

Listings

Putting items up

What every listing needs to be — accurate, singular, and genuinely available.

  • Free Listing Limit

    Free listings are limited within any 30-day period. Once you reach your limit, wait for eligible listings to expire or close, or upgrade to Premium for more listing capacity

  • One item, one category

    Each item can only have one active listing in one relevant category. Duplicate listings aren't allowed.

  • Accurate listings

    All listing details must be accurate and up to date, including the title, description, price, condition, location and authentic images of the actual item. Misleading, duplicated or inappropriate content may be rejected or removed.

  • Moderation

    Listings may be reviewed before going live for prohibited, illegal, adult, drug-related, fraudulent or duplicate content.

  • Genuine listings only

    List only items you own or have the right to offer. Repeated, misleading, or search-manipulating listings may be removed.

  • No relisting to bypass

    Expired or removed listings can't be recreated to dodge listing limits or moderation.

Account management

Your account

One honest identity per person — that's what keeps trust on ValoopR meaningful.

  • One account per person

    Each person may have one account. Creating additional accounts to bypass limits, restrictions or suspensions is prohibited.

  • Accurate identity

    Use truthful account information and do not impersonate another person, business, brand or organisation.

  • Account verification

    ValoopR may request phone, email or identity verification where necessary to protect the platform and its users.

  • Account closure

    Accounts with active listings or pending exchanges must resolve them before deletion.

Exchanges & free items

Completing the loop

Free, swap and reserved items only work if everyone follows through in good faith.

  • Clear exchange terms

    Free items must be genuinely free, while swaps must clearly state what is offered and requested. Any mandatory charges must be disclosed.

  • Genuine exchanges

    Exchanges must be genuine and completed as agreed. Creating, cancelling or manipulating exchanges to gain Loop Points or reputation is prohibited.

  • Pending rewards

    Loop Points and exchange-related rewards remain pending until the exchange is successfully completed.

  • Reservations

    Reserved items must be honoured until the reservation is cancelled. Repeatedly cancelling or abusing reservations may result in restrictions.

General

Baseline expectations

The non-negotiables that apply everywhere on ValoopR, no matter what you're doing.

  • No illegal goods or fraud

    Illegal, prohibited or restricted items, fraudulent listings, fake payments and deceptive transactions are strictly prohibited.

  • No harassment

    Abuse, threats, discrimination and harassment aren't allowed.

  • No manipulation

    Fake reviews, engagement, transactions or reputation activity are prohibited.

  • Safe transactions

    Use sensible judgement when meeting up or exchanging items in person.

  • Report problems

    Suspicious listings, users or activity should be reported so we can look into them.

  • Enforcement

    ValoopR may reject, remove, restrict or suspend listings and accounts that break these rules.
