Description
We don’t let people sell anything illegal or unsafe on QuickMarket. Or something our community has asked us not to list. If we feel you’ve posted a banned item, we’ll ask you to take it down or remove it ourselves.
Don’t create more than one ad for the same product or service, or create multiple accounts.
Here’s our list of items which we don’t allow, in alphabetical order:

But taxidermy is fine, unless it’s a protected animal.

Except fish traps and pony traps, which are actually carts.
B
Bednest cribs
Except if they were made after November 2015. Otherwise, we’re concerned about safety risks.
Bongs and water pipes

Why? Because the MHRA says it’s prescription-only medicine.
