Terms of use

Giving, not selling — by design

The goal isn't to sell your things to a stranger. It's to pass them to people who'll actually use them — give away or trade with someone you trust, or who'll cherish an object you'd regret letting go of cheaply. Often it's better to hand something on to a person who'll value it than to sell it for a few francs under cost. So you may give items away for free or offer them for trade; selling is not allowed on Tsugukura. Asking for payment or using the platform to broker a sale is against these terms and may get your account suspended.

If you genuinely do need to sell something, that's fine — just do it on a marketplace built for it (e.g. Ricardo, Facebook Marketplace, Tutti, Anibis); not here.

Requests are not guarantees

Asking for an item is just that — a request. The owner decides whether to give or trade it, to whom, and how to hand it over. Be kind, be patient, and don't treat a listing as an entitlement.

No warranty

Items are shared as-is between members. Tsugukura isn't a party to any exchange and provides no warranty on items, their condition, or the conduct of members. Use common sense when meeting or shipping.
