The Basics

Be respectful

No insults, slurs, or hostile language. Treat everyone with dignity.

Keep it relevant

Discuss the item, price, and meetup details. Keep conversations focused on the transaction.

Protect privacy

Never share or request passwords, full SSNs, bank details, or ID photos.

Follow the law

Illegal activities and prohibited items are not allowed on Circova.
