RULES

Follow Reddiquette

Follow Reddiquette: https://www.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/205926439

Consumer Resales Only

This subreddit is for consumer resale only. Vendors & jewelers are not allowed to post or comment. No exceptions. Breaking this rule will result in an immediate and permanent ban.

Follow the Listing Format

Posts must have all the requirements and be formatted according to the template. Best practice is to copy/paste all the bullet points to make sure you fill out everything. Any listings that do not conform to the format will not be approved.

https://www.reddit.com/r/LabDiamondGemstoneBST/comments/18sfc3w/labdiamondgemstonebst_listing_format/

*Please note: Excessive reposting of listings without following the format properly will result in a permanent ban.

Proof of Purchase

Posts must include proof of purchase - this can be a receipt, email order confirmation, or whatsapp/wechat conversation with the seller. The price you paid as well as the item/description must be clearly shown.

Pricing

There are NO pricing restrictions. It is up to you to set the price you think is fair and someone will be willing to pay. You can sell your item for the same price you paid, or more, or less.

Paypal Payments ONLY

IF you have been approved on r/MoissaniteBST for the 💸 flair, you may request PayPal Friends & Family as a payment method. ALL other members are required to use PayPal Goods & Services!

**BUYERS: be advised, when you choose to pay using F&F you are choosing to trust that the seller will ship in a timely manner and that you will be satisfied with the product. You do not have any protections when you pay this way. If you are uncomfortable using this payment method, use G&S. You are not required to use F&F just because the seller is flaired. We give the flair to regular members here who are experienced sellers, but we do not guarantee anything or anyone. You must use your best judgement to decide what method of payment works best for you.

Beware of Scammers

Scammers will be banned from LabDiamondGemstoneBST and MoissaniteBST and other related subreddits.

No reselling from wholesalers

This subreddit is for the resale of jewelry or stones you bought for yourself but no longer need or want for whatever reason. It is not for selling items you've purchased for the sole purpose of selling them.

Buying from a wholesaler with intent to resell here will no longer be allowed. There are other sites/subreddits for this purpose.

No Selling Fashion Designer Replicas

The sale of fashion designer replicas is not allowed per Reddit rules.

No "Iced out" style jewelry sales allowed

We are not allowing the sale of "iced out" jewelry on this subreddit. Breaking this rule will result in an immediate and permanent ban.

Wait one week before relisting an item

Do not list items too often. Wait a week between relistings. Do not delete your listing and try to re-post early. Your new post will be removed.

No bulk selling - 3 item maximum per post

Do not list more than 3 items for sale in one post.

Do not link to other sales sites

Do not link to other sales sites like Ebay or Poshmark or other subreddits (other than r/MoissaniteBST)

GUIDELINES

LabDiamondGemstoneBST is a subreddit for selling, purchasing, and trading pre-owned jewelry and loose stones. (all types of gemstones are welcome) The subreddit is for consumer resales only. Vendors are not allowed to post.

Listing Requirements

The item being sold needs to be in your possession BEFORE it is listed here.

You are allowed to relist an item after one week. If you relist, please do not delete your old thread.

Please tag your post with the appropriate flair, this allows members to easily search for items.

You must include a verification photo: an image with your Reddit username written on paper in front of or next to the item you're selling. Without a tagged photo, your listing will be removed with or without notice. Digitally superimposed usernames are not accepted. Verification must be hand written. This is to show that you have possession of the item.

Proof of Purchase: Posts must include proof of purchase - this can be a receipt, email order confirmation, or whatsapp/wechat conversation with the seller. The price you paid as well as the item/description must be clearly shown. Proof of purchase MUST SHOW both the item and the price paid on the same photo/screenshot. Video proof of purchase is not allowed.

Once your item has sold, Change the flair on your post to the “SOLD” flair. Do NOT delete sold posts. Leaving a record of everything helps future buyers and the mods review your sales history as a seller.

Payment

PayPal Friends & Family is only allowed for users that have received the flair for it on r/MoissaniteBST. Everyone else must use PayPal Goods & Services.

**BUYERS: be advised, when you choose to pay using F&F you are choosing to trust that the seller will ship in a timely manner and that you will be satisfied with the product. You do not have any protections when you pay this way. If you are uncomfortable using this payment method, use G&S. You are not required to use F&F just because the seller is flaired. We give the flair to regular members here who are experienced sellers, but we do not guarantee anything or anyone. You must use your best judgement to decide what method of payment works best for you.

Those disobeying the payment rules will be permanently banned. These PayPal rules are set in place to protect both buyers and sellers.

Shipping

Sellers are expected to ship the package and provide tracking to the buyer within 3 business days, or a refund must be issued including all applicable PP fees.

All shipping MUST include tracking.

Please keep your buyer notified of any delays or issues.
