House Rules: Airsoft Bazaar Policy

Updated over a week ago

On Airsoft Bazaar, dozens of new ads are placed every day. To ensure that there isn't an excessive growth of ads, several rules have been established. You must agree to these rules before placing an ad. Ads that do not comply with the rules may be removed without notice.

The customer service will at all times enforce the following rules without exception. We are completely transparent in our policy. If you have questions about the policy, please feel free to contact us. We are happy to help.
