Guidelines on Reselling

While claiming or asking for items in order to resell or redistribute them does not violate Freecycle guidelines, some members prefer to give their items directly to the people who will use them personally.

For this reason, members are entitled to ask responders if they intend to resell the item in question before agreeing to the transaction.

Resellers MUST disclose their intention to resell/redistribute any item when accepting an offer and when making wanted posts.

Members who fail to disclose this information when asked or when posting a wanted need to be issued a strike*, reminded of the rules and kept on moderation.

A strike is warning for a serious misdemeanour; two strikes can lead to a member being unsubscribed - at the owner's discretion.
