Marketplace Guidelines

PeerMetals is a dedicated marketplace for buying and selling precious metals and numismatics. To maintain a safe, transparent, and high-quality environment, we’ve established clear Marketplace Guidelines. All users must adhere to these guidelines to ensure a positive experience for everyone.


1. General Rules

  • Transparency: Provide accurate and honest information in listings, posts, and profiles.

  • Respect for Others: Treat all users with courtesy and professionalism, even during disputes.

  • Platform Use: Conduct all transactions through PeerMetals to benefit from our Buyer Protection Policy.


2. Guidelines for Sellers

  • Listing Accuracy: Include clear photos and detailed descriptions for every item you list, including condition, purity, weight, and certifications.

  • Prohibited Items: Do not list counterfeit items, non-precious metals or numismatics, or other items restricted by PeerMetals’ policies.

  • Timely Shipping: Ship sold items promptly and provide accurate tracking information to buyers.

  • Professional Communication: Respond to buyer inquiries and disputes promptly and respectfully.


3. Guidelines for Buyers

  • Responsible Bidding and Buying: Commit to purchasing or bidding only on items you intend to buy. Not paying for items you submitted bids or offers on will result in -500 Metal Points, and possible suspension of your account.

  • Secure Payments: PeerMetals partners with Stripe to process all payments through its secure system.

  • Feedback and Ratings: Honest reviews help build trust within the community; leave constructive feedback after transactions.


6. Consequences for Violations
