General Rules: - We are about Pokemon merchandise collecting. Please keep posts and pictures on topic in each board!
- Please do NOT make a sales post of any kind without sales permission. This includes advertising any sales on another website of any kind (i.e. eBay, Etsy, etc.) (Sales permission can be applied for after you have 5 positive feedbacks. To obtain these feedbacks, we encourage you to buy from or trade with other members!)
- Trading is allowed once you have become a member and is encouraged to help you get positive feedbacks.
Rules for Sellers: - A MUST! Always add a physical piece of paper in the pictures of your items with "yourmembername@PokeCentral" on it to ensure buyers that your items are in your hands. Please don't add watermarks or writing to your pictures as these can be easily removed or replaced. (This rule does not apply to sales banners.)
- In order to sell, you must have 5 positive feedbacks and have been granted sales permission! No exceptions!
- Please put who gave you sales permission and when at the bottom of your sales post. Also add a link to your feedback as well.
- Please specify if you can or cannot ship internationally. This helps buyers know if they can buy from you or not. Make sure to specify your location (i.e. USA, Canada, Great Britain, etc.) so buyers know where you are shipping from.
- Please keep all sales posts and sales items in USD.
- Keep your receipt from shipping your items off! This helps to ensure the buyer you have indeed shipped off their package if anything should go wrong.
- You are more than welcome to make your own rules for your sales as long as they follow PokeCentral's rules as well.
- Paypal is the preferred method of payment but you can use others at your own risk.
Rules for Buyers: - Always read a sellers' rules before buying. This will help you to know if you can buy from them or not.
- Have payment ready when committed to an item unless you have worked out a payment plan with the seller or other means to pay (i.e. Money order, concealed cash, etc.)
- If you are just wanting a quote for shipping or for multiple items, specify that is what you want otherwise the seller may think you are committed.
- Do your best to respond to sellers if you have asked for a quote. This will help them know if you are committed or passing on the item.
- If there is an issue with your order, please contact the seller. We want you guys to work things out before opening a case through Paypal.
Custom Artist Rules: - Custom sales count as normal sales and must be applied for after 5 postitive feedbacks are given. Please include pictures examples of your wares when applying.
- All custom art must be physical pieces that the buyer can hold (i.e. plush, paintings, sculptures, etc.) If you sell digital art or icons, please only advertise these with a link to where you sell them (i.e. Deviantart, etsy, etc.)
- Make sure to tell buyers how long it will take to make their piece if it is being made from scratch, this can be just an estimation but will help buyers know about when they will get their item.
- Normal seller/buyer rules apply.
Being Banned: Banning can occur if one or more of these have happened:
- Lying, stealing, swindling or otherwise conning members.

- Exhibiting abusive, sexist, racist, aggressive or threatening behavior.
- EEP! harassment will not be tolerated in any form.
- Having 3 or more negative feedbacks. Depending on the severity of these feedbacks, members may be able to stay.
