What isn't allowed
- Illegal content of any kind, including fraud, threats and terrorist content.
- Child sexual abuse material, or anything that sexualises or grooms children. We remove it and report it to the authorities.
- Harassment, bullying and hate, including attacks on someone because of who they are.
- Scams and requests to pay outside Trading Card Lane, such as asking for a bank transfer or “friends and family” payment.
- Spam, including repeated posts and advertising that has nothing to do with the discussion.
- Sexual or violent content.
- Impersonating someone else, including our staff, a seller or another member.
- Sharing someone's personal details, such as their address, phone number or real name, without their permission.
What we do about it
Moderators may hide or remove posts that break these rules, and may ban accounts from posting for 7 days, 30 days or permanently. We tell you by email when we hide or remove one of your posts or ban you from posting, and you can ask us to look at the decision again.
How to report a post
Every post has a Report button. Choose a reason and, if you like, add a note. The person you report never sees who reported them. Reports about child sexual abuse are looked at first.
Anyone, with or without an account, can also report content or complain about a decision by emailing [email protected].
