• A note about counterfeit goods: The listing of unauthorized, counterfeit or replica products, or use of a third party’s trademark in the listing of non-genuine goods is strictly prohibited. If a seller engages in the listing of unauthorized merchandise or counterfeit goods, iOffer will disclose the identity and contact information of that seller, including any aliases or alternate IDs or email addresses the seller may have previously used, at the request of the trademark owner and iOffer will assist that trademark owner in the prosecution of that seller. This disclosure may be made without notice to the seller.

Fee Avoidance: We are dedicated to providing the iOffer seller community with reasonable charges for premium features and final value fees. In order to keep fees low, iOffer prohibits sellers from circumventing our final value fee structure. Examples of fee avoidance include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Excessive shipping and/or handling charges;
• Post-transaction negotiation of item price;
• Using contact information to trade off-site;
• Accepting an offer below market value with the intent to sell at a higher price;
• Surcharges for credit card or payment services;
• Listing supplier information in the incorrect category. (All wholesale price lists, catalogs, and product information must be listed in the appropriate Wholesale Lists, Catalogs, & Product Information category category.)

Fee avoidance is a violation of the iOffer User Agreement. Engaging in fee avoidance may result in termination of your account.
