  2. Listing or feature restrictions
  3. Temporary account limitation or suspension
  4. Permanent enforcement for persistent or severe abuse

Appeals and Clarification

If you believe an action was applied incorrectly, you may submit an appeal with relevant evidence and timeline context. Appeals with specific, verifiable details are reviewed faster.

Submit appeals through Contact Support.

Violations can result in listing removal, temporary restrictions, fund holds during review, or permanent account suspension. We may share relevant records when legally required.
