Fyndiq has a zero tolerance against sales of offensive products. According to our guidelines and list of prohibited products, Fyndiq bans sales of these products.
Pornography or sexually offensive material
- Nudity, graphic sexual content and material that could be interpreted as sexually provocative
- Example of a listing that Fyndiq approves:
- If the product belongs to an adult category and is correctly categorized, it’s completely OK that is demonstrates the usage or purpose of the product as long as sensitive body parts are censored
- Example of a listing that Fyndiq doesn’t approve:
- The product itself is an adult product and demonstrates the usage but is categorized incorrectly, or that the sensitive body parts are not censored
- Sexual objectification (is never allowed but Fyndiq decides case by case on whether it is considered a case of sexual objectification or not)
- Examples:
- Model posing on all fours is not necessary for demonstrating a lingerie set
- Phone case with a nude picture on/in it is not OK since the image itself doesn’t have anything to do with the product.
