Stay Safe on GoPing

Your safety is our top priority. Please read and follow our guidelines for a secure experience.

Rules and Policies for All Listings

To maintain a safe, trustworthy, and effective marketplace, all ads posted on GoPing must strictly adhere to the following community guidelines. Failure to comply may result in the removal of your ad and suspension of your account.

  • Prohibited Items and Services: Do not post ads for illegal goods, weapons, drugs, stolen property, or anything that violates local, state, or national laws. This includes counterfeit items, hazardous materials, and adult content. A detailed list of prohibited items can be found below.

  • Accurate and Truthful Information: Your ad must contain a truthful title, a detailed and accurate description, a clear price, and a correct location. All photos used in the ad must be of the actual item for sale. The use of generic, stock, or misleading photos is strictly prohibited.

  • High-Quality and Relevant Content: We encourage you to use clear, well-lit photos that showcase the item from different angles. Ensure your description is comprehensive and provides all relevant details that a potential buyer or customer would need to know.

  • Appropriate Language and Tone: All text, images, and communications on our platform must be respectful, family-friendly, and free of any offensive, harassing, or discriminatory content. We have a zero-tolerance policy for hate speech and inappropriate behavior.

  • Single Ad for Each Item: To keep the marketplace clean and organized, please do not post the same ad multiple times or in multiple categories. Create one ad per unique item or service you are offering.

Prohibited and Restricted Items

The following items and services are strictly prohibited from being listed on GoPing:

  • Illegal drugs, firearms, and dangerous weapons.
  • Stolen property and counterfeit goods.
  • Adult content, sexually explicit material, or escort services.
  • Hazardous materials, explosives, or illegal chemicals.
  • Live animals for purposes other than adoption or sale by a registered breeder.

Security Tips for a Safe Transaction

Your safety is paramount. Follow these simple tips to protect yourself whether you are buying or selling:

  • Meet in Public: Always arrange to meet in a well-lit, public place like a coffee shop, mall, or police station. Consider bringing a friend with you for added safety.
  • Secure Payments: For valuable items, avoid paying upfront. Use cash for small transactions or trusted, secure payment platforms for larger ones. Never share personal financial information.
  • Inspect the Item: Take the time to thoroughly check the item before you finalize the transaction. For vehicles, consider having a trusted mechanic inspect it.
  • Trust Your Gut: If a deal seems unusually good or if a buyer/seller is rushing you, it may be a scam. Be wary of suspicious requests or behavior.
