ABOUT BAZAARMARKET

Bazaarmarket.org is an independent, volunteer-run bulletin board for people comparing notes on sellers — who delivered, who did not, and who stopped replying once the money moved.

It is new. There is very little on it yet, and we would rather show you an empty board than pad it out with invented reports. Everything here was posted by somebody it actually happened to.

What "grey market" means here

Goods that are genuine, but sold outside the manufacturer's authorised distribution: regional imports, overstock, transferred software licences, ex-display units, resold event tickets. It is legal in many places, restricted in others, and always outside the warranty and returns machinery that protects you in a normal shop. That gap is exactly where the scams live, which is why this board exists.

It is not a synonym for black market. See rule 2.

What we do

• Host scam reports with attached evidence, permanently and searchably.
• Maintain a blacklist aggregated from those reports.
• Let sellers apply for a public listing and be rated in the open.
• Keep a safety guide for people who are about to do something risky.

What we do not do

• Broker, escrow, host or process any transaction, ever.
• Verify that any claim on this board is true.
• Recover your money. We cannot. Contact your bank and your local police.
• Take payment from sellers. Listings are free and cannot be bought.

The fastest route is the report form on any post — it reaches the moderators directly and keeps the context attached.

If you are a business that believes a post about you is wrong, say so and show why. We would rather correct a bad report than defend one.
