You will still be able to use our services, but only under the supervision of a parent or guardian.

If the information you supply ever changes, please be sure that you click the register link and update your details as soon as possible otherwise potential buyers of your items won't be able to reach you - end result - possible sale lost.

NOTE: 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.

Any member who believes another member to be under-age, please report them to underage@lootintheloft.com including their UserID and any other supporting information. Reporting them is for their own benefit as our policy is to protect minors from criminals.

7. Revising Your Item

Loot in The Loft offers the facility to include descriptive wording with your listing. Remember, this wording is the whole basis of your advertisment so be sure that you write good, explanatory titles and item descriptions as time spent at this stage will significatly improve the chances of your item being found by searches - and sold.

Buyers will be searching for words in your titles and descriptions, so try to avoid any words that won't be used in search fields. Think of what you would type if you were searching for your item.

If, for any reason you decide to change your titles or descriptions, just Sign In, click on the Sell link and you will be taken to the Sellers pages where you can click "Revise My Listing". Your listing will be shown, which you can then edit and upload - overwriting the previous wording.

NOTE: This facility is for editing current items ONLY. You must NOT use this facility to change your listing to an entirely different item. All edits are notified to Loot in The Loft and if we suspect that you are trying to circumvent listing fees for a new item, then ALL of your current items will be removed from sale and your account cancelled with no refund of listing fees given.
