Airplane & Train tickets
|
|
The Governments strictly regulate the sale of flight tickets,
therefore sellers must be licensed. For this reason we don't allow
the sale of this item. The same applies to rail tickets. EXCEPTION: A travel package, such as a prize won, that has not yet been assigned (tickets purchased) to an individual may be sold.

Alcohol, Beer, Wine, & Spirits
|
|
A license is required
to sell alcohol. Therefore we ban the sale of it on Bid4Jeeps. The only occasion where it can be sold is in the instance
where the container is the reason for sale and has a much higher value
than the substance contained inside. Furthermore the item must also not
be available currently in any retail shops. The seller must ensure that
the description states that the container has not been opened and that
the contents are not suitable for consumption. The seller must also
ensure that the buyer is of legal age in the country that they are
buying the item.

Incorrect Brand Use
|
|
It is strictly
prohibited to use a trade or brand name to describe an item when that
item is made by another manufacturer. Description lines such as the
following examples are not allowed.
"New Zippo type leather bound lighter"
"Suzuki GSR1100 not Honda Yamaha"
The
reason for this is that it is manipulation of the search engine and
gives false returns on search results. The lighter for sale is not a "Zippo" and so therefore the name cannot be included. The Suzuki bike
is a Suzuki and using the other brand names falsifies searches
accordingly and is misleading and unfair. Words like "not" within a
description lead the item to be closely checked by Bid4Jeeps.
Hidden
text within descriptions is also prohibited. Using white on white text
within a description to hide keywords is not allowed.
