Shakuhachi Marketplace

Tips and Ground Rules For Sellers and Buyers

Tips For Sellers * Be Descriptive Describing your item fully and accurately will give you the best chance of selling it. Add a photo. The first one is free. A sound file or video is

always helpful. * Consider an Auction Fixed Price Buy Out posts are always welcome. However, an auction is more likely to attract buyers quicker.

* Please list mulitple items separately if they are not identical. For example,

T-Shirts may be listed in one listing as a Dutch Auction. However, different

shakuhachi flutes must be listed individually in separate auctions. The

exception would be a mass produced, identical instrument at the same price.

For Sellers and Buyers And finally, please keep all communication and business within The

Shakuhachi Marketplace by using the "Ask Seller a Question" feature.

External links are not permitted. This includes email addresses and

any websites.

All revenue from the Shakuhachi Marketplace helps offset a portion of
