Rules for Selling or Promoting Items and Services

2 min read

Zora is a community-first platform — and that includes how we treat the act of selling or offering services. Whether you’re listing an item in Classifieds or promoting your community-based offering, we ask that you follow these ground rules to ensure a respectful, trust-based experience for everyone.


1. Be clear and honest #

  • Describe your item or service accurately: Do not exaggerate, mislead, or omit important details.

  • Include prices up front: If an item is for sale or a service is paid, clearly state the cost and what it includes.

  • Say if it’s free: If something is offered for free or on a donation basis, state that plainly.


2. Keep things community-focused #

Zora is not a marketplace for aggressive or high-pressure selling. We welcome:

  • Individuals offering support, tutoring, or community care

  • Community-based products (like handmade goods, meals, or event tickets)

  • Freelancers promoting their work respectfully

  • Sharing of pre-loved items, tools, or home goods

We do not allow:

  • Pyramid schemes or “get rich quick” offers

  • Financial trading or cryptocurrency promotions

  • Sales of prohibited or harmful items

  • Mass advertising or spam-like listings


3. Follow Zora’s listing standards #

All posts offering goods or services must:

  • Be posted from a Premium or Verified account

  • Include a way for people to respond or ask questions

  • Be placed in the correct category (e.g., housing, services, items)

  • Avoid all caps, excessive emojis, or misleading headlines

  • Not link to external marketplaces for full transactions (e.g., “Buy now on [another site]”)


4. Respect boundaries and consent #

  • Only contact people about their listings for genuine reasons

  • Do not pressure others into buying, trading, or booking

  • Remove your listing once an item has been sold or claimed

  • If someone declines your offer, do not message them repeatedly


5. Zora’s right to remove listings #

We reserve the right to remove or hide any post that:

  • Violates our community guidelines

  • Appears unsafe, misleading, or irrelevant

  • Has been reported by other users

  • Attempts to exploit or take advantage of users

Repeated abuse of the Classifieds or promotional spaces may lead to account restrictions.


Zora is not a sales site. It is a community. All exchanges — including paid ones — should be rooted in care, honesty and mutual respect.
