Legal
Prohibited Listings & Acceptable Use.
Operated by MB Online Marketing · Effective 11 August 2026
1. Prohibited listings
The following may not be listed on EcomFlips:
- Stolen or hijacked accounts or assets: including stores, domains, ad accounts, or social accounts obtained without authorisation.
- Suspension-evasion sales: listings whose purpose is to evade a platform suspension, ban, or enforcement action (e.g. selling a Shopify Payments-banned store so the buyer re-registers it).
- Businesses selling illegal products, counterfeits, or products that infringe intellectual-property rights.
- Businesses built primarily on fake reviews, fake traffic, bot engagement, or fabricated analytics.
- Businesses the seller does not own or lacks authority to sell.
2. Mandatory disclosures
Sellers must disclose, in the listing or the deal room, before any offer is accepted:
- Past or current platform bans, suspensions, restrictions, or strikes (store platform, payment processors, ad platforms, marketplaces).
- Active or historical payment holds, elevated chargeback rates, or reserve requirements.
- Ongoing or threatened disputes, claims, or legal proceedings affecting the business.
- Any material dependency (a single supplier, a personal brand, a rented social account) not obvious from the listing.
3. Accuracy warranties
All financial figures (revenue, ad spend, ROAS, profit) are warranties, not marketing. Buyers can dispute misrepresented metrics during the inspection window, and misrepresentation can lead to a refund resolution, listing removal, and account suspension.
4. Acceptable use of the platform
- No exchanging contact details or transacting outside the platform after being introduced through EcomFlips (this voids all protections and is a ban-level violation).
- No harassment, threats, or abusive language in deal rooms.
- No fake accounts, shill offers, or manipulation of trust signals.
- No scraping, reverse engineering, or interfering with the service.
5. Enforcement
Violations can result in listing removal, deal cancellation, account suspension, and, where we are holding the payment, resolution through our dispute process. Deal-room messages are scanned automatically for contact details; sharing contact details or attempting to move a deal off-platform results in an immediate ban of the account once confirmed by our team, alongside the loss of all platform and payment protections for that deal.
