FlipWorthy Community Guidelines

Effective date: November 1, 2026

FlipWorthy profiles and messaging exist so collectors can talk shop, compare finds and connect with each other. These guidelines apply to usernames, profile photos and messages. Breaking them can get your content removed, your messaging turned off, or your account banned. They are part of our Terms of Service.

Be respectful

• No harassment, bullying, threats or intimidation.
• No hate speech or slurs, and no attacks on people based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation or age.
• If someone asks you to stop messaging them, stop.

Adults only

• FlipWorthy is only for people 18 and older. Don't misstate your age, and don't try to contact minors.
• No sexual or sexually suggestive messages, images or usernames, ever.

Be honest

• Don't impersonate other people, businesses, creators or FlipWorthy staff.
• Don't misrepresent an item's identity, condition, grade or authenticity. No counterfeits, reproductions sold as originals, or stolen goods.
• No scams, phishing, fake giveaways, or requests for sign-in codes, passwords or gift cards.

Respect privacy

• Don't share anyone's personal information (home address, phone number, financial details, private photos) without their permission.
• Don't post screenshots of private conversations to shame or harass someone.

No spam

• No unsolicited advertising, referral links, chain messages or mass messaging.
• Don't create multiple accounts to get around limits or blocks.

Keep it legal

• Nothing illegal, and no promotion of illegal goods, weapons, drugs or violence.
• We report content that exploits children to the authorities.

Listing items for sale

• List only items you actually have and are free to sell, at a real price. No placeholder, bait or joke prices.
• One listing per item. Uncheck "List item for other users to buy" once it's sold.
• The listing rules above apply too: no counterfeits, reproductions sold as originals, or stolen goods.

Trading safely

FlipWorthy doesn't take part in, verify or guarantee deals between users. If you decide to buy, sell or trade with someone you met here:

• Use payment methods with buyer and seller protection. Avoid wire transfers, gift cards, cryptocurrency, and "friends and family" payments to strangers.
• Ask for clear, current photos and confirm grading certificate numbers with the grading company.
• Meet in a busy public place, ideally one with cameras (some police stations offer safe exchange zones), and bring someone with you.
• Use tracked, insured shipping for valuable items.
• Never share sign-in codes, passwords or financial account details.
• If something feels off, stop, block and report.

Reporting and blocking

• Block someone from their profile or the chat menu. Blocking stops messages both ways and hides you from each other's searches.
• Report someone from their profile or the chat menu and choose a reason. Reports made from a chat include a copy of its recent messages so we can review what happened. The person you report isn't told who reported them.
• If you're in immediate danger, contact local emergency services first.

What happens when guidelines are broken

Depending on how serious it is, we may remove content, reset a username or photo, turn off messaging, or suspend or permanently ban the account. Serious violations, like threats, scams, sexual content involving minors, or attempts to contact minors, lead to an immediate ban and may be reported to law enforcement.

If your account is suspended, you'll see why in the app and by email. You can appeal from Settings → Your account is suspended. A person reviews every appeal, and the decision is at FlipWorthy's discretion.
