Community Guidelines, Prohibited Listings & Safety Center
Lucy's Listings Community Guidelines, Prohibited Listings Policy, and Safety Center Effective Date: August 2, 2026 Last Updated: August 2, 2026
1. Introduction
Lucy's Listings is a community marketplace where users may post, discover, and respond to lawful listings for goods, services, housing, rentals, subleases, roommates, and other opportunities. Lucy's Listings is operated by CampusBulletins and is referred to in this policy as “Lucy's Listings,” “we,” “us,” or “our.” These Community Guidelines, Prohibited Listings Policy, and Safety Center rules collectively form the “Community Policy.” They apply to:
- User accounts and profiles
- Marketplace and housing listings
- Listing photographs, videos, and attachments
- Messages and communications
- Reviews or ratings, if available
- Meetups, pickups, deliveries, and related arrangements
- Reports and appeals; and
Any other activity conducted through Lucy's Listings. This Community Policy supplements our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. If there is a conflict, the Terms of Service will control unless we expressly state otherwise. By accessing or using Lucy's Listings, you agree to follow this Community Policy.
2. Our Community Principles
Lucy's Listings is built around five principles:
A. Be Honest
Describe listings, prices, conditions, fees, availability, authority, and transaction terms accurately.
B. Be Respectful
Treat other users with dignity. Harassment, threats, discrimination, exploitation, and abusive conduct are not permitted.
C. Be Lawful
Only post or pursue listings and transactions that comply with applicable federal, state, local, campus, licensing, contractual, and other legal requirements.
D. Be Safe
Take reasonable precautions before sending money, sharing personal information, entering a property, meeting another user, or transferring an item.
E. Be Accountable
Users are responsible for their listings, communications, agreements, payments, conduct, and interactions with other users. Lucy's Listings may remove content or restrict activity that conflicts with these principles, even when the specific conduct is not expressly described in this policy.
3. User Responsibilities

31. Important Safety Notice
Lucy's Listings connects users but does not ordinarily inspect items, properties, users, payments, meetups, or agreements. You are responsible for evaluating:
- The other user
- The listing
- Ownership
- Authority
- Product condition
- Property condition
- Payment method
- Contract terms
- Meeting location; and
Whether to proceed. A visible profile, university email address, phone number, identification document, or apparently professional listing does not guarantee that a person or offer is legitimate.
32. Common Scam Warning Signs
Be cautious when someone:
- Pressures you to act immediately
- Refuses to answer reasonable questions
- Offers a price that appears unrealistically low
- Offers to pay substantially more than the asking price
- Sends a check for too much and requests a refund
- Claims to be outside the country and unable to meet
- Refuses an in-person or live-video inspection without a reasonable explanation
- Sends a payment screenshot instead of verifiable payment
- Claims your payment account requires an upgrade fee
- Asks you to buy gift cards
- Requests cryptocurrency
- Requires a wire transfer
- Asks for a verification code
- Sends an unexpected login link
- Requests remote access to your device
- Moves the conversation off-platform immediately
- Uses inconsistent names, phone numbers, or email addresses
- Refuses to provide proof of ownership
- Requests a deposit before allowing a property viewing
- Claims Lucy's Listings guarantees the transaction
- Asks you to forward money to someone else
- Sends an unsolicited attachment
- Requests your password, Social Security number, or banking login
- Uses emotional pressure or threats
- Creates a false emergency; or
Discourages you from independently verifying the offer. One warning sign does not always establish fraud, but multiple warning signs should be treated seriously.
33. Buyer Safety
Before purchasing an item:
- Review the entire listing
- Compare the price with similar items
- Ask about defects, repairs, age, and ownership
- Request current photographs
- Ask the seller to include a handwritten date or identifying detail in a new photograph for high-value items
- Confirm model and serial numbers where appropriate
- Check whether the product has been recalled
- Inspect the item before paying when possible
- Test electronics and mechanical items
- Verify that activation locks have been removed
- Confirm that the seller has authority to sell the item
- Review return or refund terms in writing
- Preserve listing screenshots and messages; and
Decline the transaction when the seller’s story or identity cannot be reasonably verified. For expensive items, consider meeting at a bank, police-station exchange area, authorized dealer, repair shop, or another location where authenticity or condition can be checked.
34. Seller Safety
Before transferring an item:
- Confirm that payment has actually cleared
- Log in to the payment service independently rather than trusting an email or screenshot
- Do not accept an overpayment
- Do not refund a supposed excess payment
- Do not pay a fee to receive money
- Do not provide verification codes
- Do not click unexpected payment links
- Avoid accepting checks from unknown buyers for high-risk transactions
- Do not ship solely because a buyer sent a payment screenshot
- Confirm the delivery address
- Preserve shipping and tracking records
- Remove personal data from electronics
- Sign out of accounts
- Disable device-tracking or activation locks only after legitimate payment
- Remove saved payment methods
- Reset devices securely; and
Avoid sharing your home address when a safer meeting location is practical.
35. Payment Safety
Lucy's Listings does not guarantee or insure user payments unless a separate feature expressly states otherwise. Safer practices include:
- Use payment methods that provide meaningful records
- Verify payment through the provider’s official application or website
- Review any buyer or seller protection terms
- Keep receipts and screenshots
- Avoid sending money merely to reserve an ordinary marketplace item
- Never share a password or one-time verification code
- Never pay a fee because a stranger claims your account must be “upgraded”
- Avoid gift cards as payment
- Avoid wire transfers to unknown users
- Avoid cryptocurrency for transactions with strangers
- Do not forward money to a third party
- Do not accept unexplained overpayments
- Be cautious with checks that may later be reversed; and
Stop communicating when someone instructs you to mislead a bank or payment provider. A payment notification may be fabricated. Confirm the transaction directly in your account.
36. Fake Check and Overpayment Scams
A common scam involves a buyer sending a check for more than the agreed price and asking the seller to:
- Refund the difference
- Pay a mover
- Pay a courier
- Buy gift cards
- Send cryptocurrency; or
Transfer money to another person. Funds may appear temporarily available before the check is identified as fraudulent. The user who deposited the check may remain responsible for money sent out. Do not send money back to an unknown buyer based on a check overpayment.
37. Verification-Code Scams
Never provide another user with a verification code sent to your phone, email address, or authentication application. A person may claim that the code is needed to:
- Confirm you are real
- Verify your listing
- Confirm a payment
- Release funds
- Reserve an item; or
Prove ownership. The code may actually permit the person to access an account or create an account linked to your phone number. Lucy's Listings will not ask you to send an account password or one-time login code to another user.
38. Meetup and Pickup Safety
When meeting another user:
- Choose a well-lit public place
- Meet during active hours
- Consider a designated safe-exchange location
- Tell a trusted person where you are going
- Share the meeting location and expected return time
- Keep your phone charged
- Arrange your own transportation
- Avoid carrying unnecessary cash
- Bring another adult for high-value transactions
- Inspect the item before completing the exchange
- Do not enter an unfamiliar vehicle
- Do not allow a stranger into your home unless necessary and reasonably safe
- Keep valuables secured
- Leave immediately if the situation changes or feels unsafe; and
Contact emergency services when there is immediate danger. Do not meet in an isolated parking lot, vacant property, hotel room, or unfamiliar private location merely because another user insists.
39. Shipping and Delivery Safety
When shipping:
- Use a trackable service
- Retain the receipt
- Photograph the item and packaging
- Confirm the destination
- Consider signature confirmation for high-value items
- Review carrier restrictions
- Insure valuable shipments where appropriate
