1. Mailing Lists and Personal Information (Policy)

Items for sale which include lists of names, addresses, phone numbers or other personal information are not allowed to be listed on Loot in The Loft. This policy is in place to protect our members and forms part of our Privacy Policy.

NOTE: If you breach this policy, all of your current listings may be removed from sale and your account cancelled with no refund of listing fees given.

2. Managing Your Item 

To ensure that your item has the best chance of selling, you will need to manage your listing. This is an important fact of life for anyone involved in the sale of goods as effective sales are made by effective sales people.

You need to keep prospective Buyers interested in your item rather than someone elses and there are a few methods you can employ to aid this.

4. Member IDs

All Loot in The Loft users need to register to be able to Buy or Sell items on the site. As a part of the registration process, you will create a unique UserID which is the name you will be known by in your listings.

You should choose a name you think represents you and that you will remember but please note this name should be of a format containing letters (a-z) and/or numbers (0-9) only. No other characters are permitted in your UserID and it should be a maximum of 10 letters/numbers.

Also, Email addresses and URL's are not allowed as a UserID and they cannot be the same as another member's UserID.

5. Minimising Unwanted Email

As Email is a direct member to member communication channel, there is no way for Loot in The Loft to control it.

We would therefore request, that all members respond to Emails received in a timely and courteous manner. Please respect other members, as you would expect them to respect you.

If you do receive an Email that is offensive, or in any other way unwelcomed, you can do one (or all) of a number of things.

  1. Set your Email program so that it won't allow the senders' incoming mail into your inbox. If you cannot do this, please do not be tempted to reply.
  2. Report the sender to Loot in The Loft, including message headers and Email content.
  3. Report it to the senders' ISP or Email provider.
  4. If you are personally threatened in the Email and fear for your safety, inform the Police.

NOTE: Loot in The Loft believes that the trust and respect all of our members have for each other is of the utmost importance. To this end, we have this policy in place governing the use of Email as a contact method. If you breach this policy, all of your current listings will be removed from sale and your account cancelled immediately with no refund of listing fees given.

6. Misrepresentation

As trading partners need to be able to communicate with each other, the provision of false/omission of contact information is not permitted when registering with Loot in The Loft.

Providing false information encourages criminal activity. Therefore, we would ask any member who believes another member to be in breach of this policy, to please report them to customerservices@lootintheloft.com including their UserID and any other supporting information.

NOTE:  If you are found to have provided false information, all of your current listings will be removed from sale and your account cancelled immediately with no refund of listing fees given.

7. Misrepresentation of Identity (Policy)

Misrepresentation of member's identities is NOT allowed on Loot in The Loft. This policy is in place for the protection of all our members and to avoid them and us from becoming the victims of dishonest individuals.

Therefore, we would ask any member who believes another member to be in breach of this policy, to please report them to customerservices@lootintheloft.com including their UserID and any other supporting information.

NOTE:  If you are found to have provided false information or misrepresented your identity in any way, all of your current listings will be removed from sale and your account cancelled immediately with no refund of listing fees given.
