On-Site Communication
When selling
an item on GunStuff.co.nz the seller must provide all information
pertinent to that item if it is known, wherever possible. Users who list
an item with no image/photo and a less-than-accurate description of the
item run the risk of having their account suspended and possibly
terminated if a repeat offence occurs. This is to maintain a high level
of quality for all users who visit the site. The seller and buyer are
not permitted to disclose personal contact information outside of the
auction process itself, this includes the use of message boards and
question and answer boards.
Fees and User Account Credit
Users
who have listed an item must pay fees for the use of GunStuff's website
services if the item is sold. Users attempting to circumnavigate the
auction process by using the messaging or auction question system will
have their account suspended and possibly terminated if it is found they
have sold the item after making contact with the buyer on the GunStuff
website. Users who incur fees on their GunStuff members account must pay
them without delay in order to continue using the GunStuff site. Other
listings which the user has on the site may be suspended if an item
sells and the account runs into a negative balance; so it is advised
that all members who list items should credit their account to avoid
this happening. If outstanding fees are not paid within one week after
the sale of an item your account may be terminated. It is in the best
interests of all users of the site that fees are paid promptly to ensure
continuation of services to other site users. GunStuff maintains a
competitive rate of fees in order to provide the best possible
advertising service to our users. Please see our site fees page for more
information on fee amounts. Please note that you must have credit on
your user account to be able to bid on items, use the 'Buy Now' button
and list items for sale on the GunStuff website. If your user account
has a zero or negative balance your bidding and listing ability will be
suspended until your fees are paid. Please pay any fees or charges on
the GunStuff website promptly as they are due.
If you wish to close
your GunStuff.co.nz account, GunStuff.co.nz will refund the remaining
balance, less a $5.00 processing fee. Account closing payments will be
made via Direct Debit and will take 3-5 days to process
Off Site Listings
If
listing an item for sale on the GunStuff site, and also listing the
same item elsewhere - the seller of that item must disclose this
information in the "Auction Details" section of the listing. This is for

terminated.
