Marketplace Display Policy

Last updated:

This policy explains how listings are ordered on the POWER Family marketplace, so buyers can trust what they see and every seller gets a fair chance.

  • Only live listings appear. A listing goes live after the team approves it, or immediately when the seller qualifies for instant publishing: a Trust Score at or above the team's threshold (currently 80) with no safety blockers, a VIP plan with instant publishing, or a team account.
  • The safety blockers are: identity not verified, fewer than 5 completed deals, an unpaid penalty, a deal in dispute, a listing rejected in the last 30 days, or a Fraud Registry entry. All VIP plans currently include instant publishing.
  • Listings from suspended accounts, or from sellers with an approved Fraud Registry entry, are removed from the marketplace.
  • A listing must keep matching its category template; misleading listings are taken down.

Every listing receives a score from 0 to 100 built from six signals. No single signal can dominate:

  • Quality (20%) — photos, a clear description, ownership proof, a link, filled details and a price.
  • Engagement (20%) — likes, comments and views over the listing's lifetime, measured on a logarithmic scale so early leaders cannot run away with the page.
  • Trend (20%) — likes and comments in the last 72 hours, relative to the listing's age.
  • Seller trust (20%) — identity verification, account age, followers (also logarithmic), completed sales, feedback rating (with 3 or more reviews), VIP and team status. An unpaid penalty lowers it.
  • Freshness (15%) — newer listings score higher; the effect fades over about a week.
  • Fair price (5%) — asking prices within or below the platform valuation score higher.

New listings receive a small extra boost during their first 48 hours so that new sellers are seen. Listings with policy violations are pushed down. An asset that already has a deal in progress moves down and is labelled, because it cannot be bought at the moment.

Real followers (accounts at least 7 days old) add up to +3. Each seller can bump a listing for free once every 48 hours, which resets its freshness. Listings shown to followers first stay out of the ranking during their 24-hour window and appear to others as locked cards.

Recommended is personalised: listings in categories and keywords you view, like, comment on, save, offer on, buy or search for get up to +20; sellers you follow get up to +6; listings you keep scrolling past and categories you marked "Not interested" go down. At least one card in every six comes from sellers you follow. You can turn this off in Settings › Privacy ("Personalise my marketplace"); when it is off, your searches are not recorded for it.

  • One seller can never fill the top of the page: at most two cards in a row come from the same seller.
  • A view counts once per member every 6 hours; likes and comments once per member. A seller's own views and comments never count.
  • Other sort options (Newest, Price) are purely chronological or price-based and contain no ads. In Recommended the first sponsored card is the 3rd card, then one in every six.
  • Trending — many likes and comments in the last 3 days.
  • New — published in the last 48 hours.
  • Auction — the asset is in a live auction.
  • Sponsored — a paid boost (see the Advertising Policy). Paid placement never changes the organic score above.
  • Gold frame — the seller is a VIP member. The frame itself does not move the listing; VIP status is one small part of the seller-trust signal above.

We may tune the weights to keep the marketplace useful and fair. Material changes will be announced on this page.
