What its rules say about promotion

New Accounts
A 90 day reddit account, plus 100 COMMENT KARMA is required to post in efforts to reduce scamming on the sub. The only exception to this rule is having 10 verified sales references from other Buy/Sell/Trade subs. For these cases, please send a modmail with proof to be considered for approval. Any karma farming posts (e.g., /r/freekarma) will result in being banned from the subreddit.
Thread titles and content
Titles must begin with [WTB], [WTS], [WTT], or [GIFT] and end with (Decant) OR (Bottle). Sales and trade posts must link to photos. Sales posts must contain a currency symbol ($, €, £) and volume units (mL, oz). Noncompliant posts will be automatically removed. We only permit transaction posts: the poster must intend to buy, sell, or trade fragrances and must be concise (no pitches/emojis). Other posts, such as callouts or defenses, will result in a permanent ban. Send concerns to modmail.
Restricted items
Users are not permitted to sell or trade empty or approximately empty bottles (< 10% of the original fill level), except for empty decants.
Reposting and spam
Users may not repost the SAME item (to buy, sell, or trade) within 72 hr. This includes deleting a post & reposting it, posting a WTS & reposting it as a WTT (or vice versa), or posting a WTB & reposting it as a WTT (or vice versa). Violators will be warned upon first offense, followed by a temp ban. Buyers, sellers, and traders should not delete old posts. You may create new posts without items posted in the past 72 hr. Multiple items to buy/sell/trade should be listed in one post.
All 12 rules of r/fragranceswap
  1. Etiquette
    Homophobic, transphobic, racist, etc. slurs are not going to be tolerated, or any other language that intentionally marginalizes a member of the community / is obviously trolling. In general, don't be a dick.
  2. New Accounts
    A 90 day reddit account, plus 100 COMMENT KARMA is required to post in efforts to reduce scamming on the sub.

  3. PayPal Goods & Services
    New sellers who do not possess 15+ sales flair MUST ONLY ACCEPT PayPal (NOT Venmo) G&S as payment. Legacy counts towards the 15. When using G&S you may only charge up to the fee incurred. Sellers under 15 sales flair who request non G&S options will be permabanned. Buyers who pay sellers with under the required flair using non G&S options will receive a 30 temp ban from the sub, followed by permaban for second offense. We ask that anyone breaking this rule be reported to the mods.
  4. Item(s) on hand, payment procedures, and shipment time
    Sellers must have the item(s) physically in their possession before accepting any payment. Buyers must pay for shipping before the seller ships the item. Sellers who do not ship within two days may receive disciplinary action up to a ban (barring extenuating circumstances). If the seller communicates effectively with the buyer, up to a week may be acceptable depending on the circumstance.
  5. Confirming transactions (Flair)
    All users must confirm successful transactions via our flair system: https://www.reddit.com/r/fragranceswap/comments/16a4yd1/announcement_new_flair_system/ ** Creating a new, single post(s) in order to receive/verify flair is prohibited. Transactions MUST be verified on the original post that was created.
  6. Thread titles and content
    Titles must begin with [WTB], [WTS], [WTT], or [GIFT] and end with (Decant) OR (Bottle). Sales and trade posts must link to photos. Sales posts must contain a currency symbol ($, €, £) and volume units (mL, oz). Noncompliant posts will be automatically removed. We only permit transaction posts: the poster must intend to buy, sell, or trade fragrances and must be concise (no pitches/emojis). Other posts, such as callouts or defenses, will result in a permanent ban. Send concerns to modmail.
  7. Offsite links
    Please do not include external links in your posts or comments, unless they fall into one of the following categories; Photo links (e.g., Imgur, Google Photos), Detailed lists or inventories (e.g., Google Sheets, OneDrive, etc.), ⁠Order forms (e.g., Google Forms for decanters). Posts with other types of external links (e.g., eBay, Mercari) will be removed.
  8. Auctions, bidding, offers, and raffles
    All WTS listings must clearly state a fixed asking price. Auction-style sales, bidding formats, or "highest offer" arrangements are strictly prohibited. Raffles are also strictly prohibited. Noncompliant posts will be removed.
  9. Restricted items
    Users are not permitted to sell or trade empty or approximately empty bottles (< 10% of the original fill level), except for empty decants.
  10. Scamming and counterfeits
    Scamming: Reports with proof will result in a permanent, non-appealable ban. Confirmed scammers will be added to the Universal Scammer List (https://universalscammerlist.com). Buyers are responsible for protecting themselves, too (see Rule 3). Counterfeits: We try to flag fakes, but buyers must do their due diligence. Posting fakes, even unknowingly, will result in a permaban; limited appeals may be considered. Verify bottles via r/CologneCheck.
  11. Reposting and spam
    Users may not repost the SAME item (to buy, sell, or trade) within 72 hr. This includes deleting a post & reposting it, posting a WTS & reposting it as a WTT (or vice versa), or posting a WTB & reposting it as a WTT (or vice versa). Violators will be warned upon first offense, followed by a temp ban. Buyers, sellers, and traders should not delete old posts. You may create new posts without items posted in the past 72 hr. Multiple items to buy/sell/trade should be listed in one post.
  12. Decanter and reseller posts
    Decanters and resellers with a fairly large selection who divide their offerings into multiple posts are now required to post their entire collection/offerings into one post. The 72 hr repost rule still applies. Since this is kind of a gray area, varying degrees of discretion will be used by mods.

What the written rules don't show

  • Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
  • Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
  • The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
