European Union Platform to Business Regulation

1. Introduction

The European Union (EU) Regulation on platform-to-business relations (P2B Regulation) intends to create a fair, transparent, and predictable business environment for sellers on online platforms. The P2B Regulation applies to sellers located in the EU that also offer their products to consumers in the EU.

 

2. GarageSaleIt Policies

To foster transparency and fairness, we’ve put a great deal of effort into ensuring that our agreement with users of our service is worded in a clear and comprehensible way. Our platform rules, which encompasses a broad family of policies for all users of our services (like GarageSaleit's Terms of Use and Seller's Policy), are easily accessible in the footer of just about every page on the GarageSaleIt website and at our Legal Policy Section. 

Sellers on GarageSaleit agree to important policies and standards such as:

If GarageSaleigt has reason to believe a seller has violated any of these policies or other policies of the platform, their garage sale, garage sale content, or accounts may be deactivated, suspended or terminated. 

 

3. How does the P2B Regulation impact EU Sellers

Generally, GarageSaleit will notify sellers of actions affecting their listings, garage sale, or account. However, we may not provide a notification if we have legal or regulatory reasons that prevent us from doing so, or if the seller has been terminated due to repeatedly violating our policies.

GarageSaleIt will duly consider P2B inquiries in accordance with the regulation, and will process them within a reasonable frame of time, taking into consideration the importance and complexity of the issue. We will provide a response regarding the outcome where appropriate and not restricted by legal or regulatory reasons. If we determine that an action was taken as a result of an error, the action will be reversed as soon as possible. Duplicative, abusive, or other bad faith inquiries will be handled accordingly.

My garage sale, account, or listing has been actioned by GarageSaleIt in error.  What should I do?

Sellers in the EU that believe an action that GarageSaleIt has taken on their garage sale, account, or listing was the result of an error should respond to the email notification they received, unless directed otherwise within the email. Email notifications about a final decision regarding an enforcement action or appeal will generally state that the decision may not be reconsidered. 

I’m an EU seller and have concerns related to P2B. How can I contact GarageSaleIt?
