Our Policies

The policies are here to keep the site a fair place to buy, sell, and chat with the community.

JamDeal's reputation feature is designed to create a open and fair environment for members when doing business. These feedback comments from other members allow both buyers and sellers to build reputations based on their trades with other members.

Comment Removal
Members must act responsibly when leaving feedback comments, as once posted for all to see, these comments cannot be changed and are a permanent part of that member's record. As such, at a member's request, JamDeal may remove certain feedback comments if JamDeal deems that the comment as unwarranted or prohibited. Such feedback comments might include those that have: no connection to JamDeal activity, profanity or vulgar language, links, personal identifying information, been mistakenly posted to the wrong member, or any other reason JamDeal deems as necessary for removal.
