Common questions

  • How does the feedback & ratings system work for Classified items?
    You can’t leave feedback & ratings for sales from a Classified ad (whether you’re the buyer or the seller). If the seller has bought or sold on Trading Post®, with Buy Now or Auction you can view their feedback & ratings for those transactions.
  • Can I negotiate on the price?
    It’s up to you and the seller to strike a deal that you’re both happy with.
