Trading & Listing Guidelines
How high-value iron changes hands here.
These guidelines keep BUYSELLMARKET a transparent, good-faith exchange for buying, selling, and leasing industrial power and datacenter equipment. Accurate nameplate specs, honored offers, and settlement through escrow protect every counterparty.
Trading Standards
What every counterparty commits to
Nameplate Accuracy
Ratings, operating hours, and condition grade are stated as they are — the listing is the underwriting document, not a photo.
Good-Faith Offers
Deposit-backed offers reflect real intent to transact. Accepted offers and their deposit terms are honored on both sides.
Provenance & Title
You list only assets you own or are authorized to sell or lease, with clear title and disclosed decommissioning history.
On-Platform Settlement
Coordination, deposits, and payment run through the exchange and its escrow — never off-platform, around the deposit or the umpire.
Listing Standards
Every listing is an underwriting document
Buyers commit capital against your listing before they ever see the unit. State the specs a technical buyer would verify at inspection.
A complete listing states
Nameplate ratings (MW/MVA/kV as applicable), and operating hours or run-time
Condition tier — New-Surplus, Overhauled, or As-Is — and any refurbishment scope
Commissioning records, test reports, and inspection history where available
Provenance: prior service, decommissioning basis, and clear title
Lead time, load-out point, and freight/rigging responsibility
Included spares, controls, documentation, and export-control status
Never in a listing
Misstated nameplate ratings, hours, or condition grade
Stock imagery in place of photos of the actual unit and its nameplate
Falsified test, commissioning, or inspection records
Assets you do not own or are not authorized to sell or lease
Concealed damage, prior faults, or decommissioning defects

When guidelines are broken
Reports are investigated with the evidence on record. Escrow holds while any dispute is open, and the umpire process resolves asset discrepancies for both sides.

A first minor issue — an incomplete listing or a missed window — draws a warning and a request to correct it.
Suspension
02
Repeated issues, or a serious one, suspend trading privileges while the account is reviewed.
Removal
03
Fraud, misrepresentation, off-platform settlement, or unsafe assets end in permanent removal from the exchange.
