Seller Responsibilities

- All item descriptions must be truthful, accurate, and include any required compliance or safety information.
- TradeAv reserves the right to remove or suspend listings that breach these rules, even without prior notice.
- Repeated or serious violations may lead to account suspension or permanent removal from the platform.
TradeAv’s Role & Responsibility
- TradeAv is a facilitator platform only — we do not verify, inspect, or certify the legality or safety of items listed.
- We assume no responsibility for user content, accuracy of listings, or compliance with aviation or shipping laws.
- Any concerns regarding a specific listing should be reported immediately via the Report an Issue page.
Tip: If you’re unsure whether an item is allowed, contact TradeAv Support before listing. It’s always better to confirm first than risk removal or account suspension.
