- Accepting a buyer's offer to buy more than the number of units ordered of an item, or sell additional items or services in conjunction with any order placed through the Coupon Flea Market system. Example: If a buyer has placed an order for 10 sets of an item but send a message offering to buy an additional 100 sets for a particular amount and to make payment for those additional items directly to your PayPal account, you must refuse and request that the buyer purchase the items through the Coupon Flea Market system.
- Seller agrees not to use the Coupon Flea Market system, network or software to communicate with any member for reasons other than resolving issues or affecting fulfillment of an order placed through the Coupon Flea Market system (i.e. you will not use the Coupon Flea Market system to sell additional services, advertise other services or make offers not directly related to a sale of your listed services on Coupon Flea Market)
- In addition to the rules listed here, the seller agrees to read and follow all instruction that may appear on the Coupon Flea Market website.

The seller must ship all of the items advertised in their listing within two business days (business days are Monday-Friday excluding all post office holidays).

- Any refund due to a customer must be made promptly (no later than two business days from the date that it is determined that a refund is owed to the date that the refund is issued).
- All refund must be made to the PayPal account that the buyer used to make payment and from the account the original payment was made to.
- The seller agrees that CFM has the right to handle customer dispute cases on its behalf and will abide by the CFM decision.

- The seller understands and agrees that should CFM decide a dispute in seller’s favor that PayPal still has the right to decide against seller and that there will be no recompense from CFM should PayPal reverse payment.
- The seller MUST properly mark an item as shipped when it has shipped. Consistent failure to comply with this rule can result in a temporary or permanent suspension of your account.
- Sellers may list ONLY coupons or coupon clipping services on the Coupon Flea Market website (www.couponfleamarket.com). Any seller found not to be in complete compliance with this rule will have their account permanently suspended.

The seller agrees that this invoice will be paid in full via PayPal to billing@couponfleamarket.com no later than the 12th of the month. The seller agrees that failure to pay the invoice in a timely manner can result in the temporary suspension of their account until the invoice balance is paid in full. If the invoice is paid in full after the due date and the seller requests to be authorized to sell again, and the request is granted, the seller will have a new authorization date which may affect placement in search results.
- Sellers agree to furnish a credit card authorization form that allows CFM or its billing company Online Orders Now to charge the credit card for any outstanding invoices after the payment by PayPal date of the 12th of the month passes. The credit card will only be charged if default on the invoice(s) occurs. By signing the authorization form sellers are authorizing CFM or its billing company to charge any outstanding invoices whether or not the seller requests to be reinstated or whether or not the request to be reinstated occurs.

The seller agrees that email notifications being directed to a spam or junk mail folder or blocked by their email provider or security system because the seller has not taken action to allow emails sent from the Coupon Flea Market domain is not sufficient cause to refuse to make payment or to make payments late.
- The seller agrees to respond promptly within two business days to any messages from customers sent to their message center on the Coupon Flea Market website.
