When listing an item, you agree to comply with B4B's rules for listing i.e:
- You are responsible for the accuracy and content of the listing and item offered;
- Your listing may not be immediately searchable by keyword or category for several hours (or up to 24 hours in some circumstances). B4B can't guarantee exact listing durations;
- Content that violates any of B4B's policies may be deleted at B4B's discretion;
- We strive to create a marketplace where buyers find what they are looking for. Therefore, the appearance or placement of listings in search and browse results will depend on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to:

- seller's history, including listing practices, Detailed Seller Ratings, B4B policy compliance, Feedback, and defect rate; and
- number of listings matching the buyer's query.
- To drive a positive user experience, a listing may not appear in some search and browse results regardless of the sort order chosen by the buyer.
- Some advanced listing upgrades will only be visible on certain Services.
- Meta tags and URL links that are included in a listing may be removed or altered so as to not affect third-party search engine results.
- We may provide you with optional recommendations to consider when creating your listings.
