Marketplace rules

Please only enter specific offers into the database. Listings that consist of general advertising such as „All types of XY machines“ will not be published. For each listing, either a specific machine or a fixed package of several machines must be offered. In case of a machine package, a clear description of the associated machines in the listing text is required. However, experience has shown that individual machine listings attract considerably more attention than machine packages.

Include a convincing description in the technical data field with your listings on Used-Machines. We do not allow listings which provide no technical data. Here you can find useful tips for creating sales-boosting listings.

When submitting an listing, always include your full name and address. Anonymous listings are not permitted.

Listings may not include phone numbers, fax numbers or e-mail addresses. Your contact data is automatically generated from your customer account and displayed in the finished listing too. Therefore, an additional entry of your contact data in the listing text is not necessary.

The listing text and the pictures of the offered machines may not contain internet addresses.

Listings cannot contain any references to other listings of a seller. Additionally, references to online shops of the seller as well as references to other trading platforms or auction platforms are strictly forbidden.

Machines listed as classifieds cannot be part of an auction simultaneously.

Please delete or pause sold items immediately. We try to keep our database as up-to-date as possible, so expired offers are extremely unwelcome and prohibited in our Terms & Conditions.

The immediate upload of previously deleted listings is not permitted for reasons of distortion of competition.

Do not use logos instead of pictures of machines. The placement of company logos in machine images is also prohibited.

Likewise, photos whose copyright is held by the manufacturer or photos owned by competitors may only be uploaded with the written permission of the respective copyright holder.

Listing images that only contain "photo to follow" or similar are not allowed.

Please write your own technical descriptions of the items that you are offering for sale. Copying texts and sections of text from the listings of other sellers is forbidden and usually results in awkward situations that are best avoided.

Only include technical descriptions which are specific to the machine you are offering. Using lists of keywords or search terms is not permitted. The inclusion of listings for other machines, products, consumable materials and general advertising is also not permitted.

The naming of one's own company name as well as word repetitions in the listing title are prohibited. Manufacturers are excluded from this regulation.

Please make sure to place your listing in the right categories – in your own interest.

Please do not indicate 1€ prices in the listings. Listings which show 1€ as purchase price (also as fixed price or negotiating basis) will not be activated. If you do not want to enter a price, please leave the price field blank. Then the note "Price info" will automatically be displayed for your listing.

Please provide relevant information in the machine type / vehicle type as well as the manufacturer and model field, and do not use promotional wording. Only this way your listings can be found by potential buyers via the search function.

When entering your contact details, please make sure that you enter an accessible telephone number.

Do not list the same item more than once.
