Listing Policy
Version 1.0 — Effective 25 May 2026
1. What Aven is for
Aven is a marketplace for pre-owned and vintage fashion: clothing, shoes,
bags, accessories, and jewellery that you personally own and want to pass on. Items must be
physical, in your possession, and ready to ship within 5 business days of
payment.
2. Listing standards
Photos
- At least one clear, well-lit photo of the actual item you are selling — no stock images, no images downloaded from the brand site or another seller.
- Show any flaws (stains, holes, fading, loose stitching, scratches on hardware) in a separate photo.
- No filters that materially change colour, texture, or condition. No watermarks of other resale platforms.
- For bags, watches, jewellery, and other items where authenticity matters: show interior labels, serial numbers, datecodes, hardware stamps, and any authenticity card.
Title & description
- Brand, item type, size, and condition must be accurate.
- Disclose meaningful flaws in the description (not only in the photo).
- Disclose alterations, repairs, replaced hardware, missing original components, or non-original accessories.
- If the item is unbranded or you are uncertain of the brand, mark it as "Unbranded" rather than guessing.
Condition grades
Use the closest match — buyers rely on these.
- New with tags — never worn, original tags attached.
- New without tags — never worn, no tags.
- Excellent — worn a few times, no visible flaws.
- Very good — light signs of wear, no significant flaws.
- Good — visible wear, all flaws disclosed.
- Fair / vintage — significant wear or age-related flaws; all disclosed.
Price
- Prices are in Israeli new shekels (₪) and should include any VAT you are required to collect.
- Don't set obviously off-market prices to manipulate search rankings.
- Don't list the same item twice; pick the better listing and delete the duplicate.
3. Prohibited items
The following are not allowed on Aven, with no exceptions:
- Counterfeits, replicas, "inspired by", "dupes", and unauthorised copies of branded goods — including super-fakes, "1:1" replicas, and items sold honestly as fake.
- Stolen goods, items obtained by fraud, or items under recall.
- Underwear, swimwear with hygiene tags removed, socks that have been worn, and any item with active soiling.
- Real fur (unless explicitly vintage and pre-1990, with clear labelling), ivory, tortoiseshell, sea turtle, exotic-leather items requiring CITES permits without the permit shown.
- Weapons of any kind, replica firearms that fire pellets/airsoft, ammunition, military uniforms with current Israeli insignia, body armour.
- Recreational or prescription drugs, vapes, e-cigarettes, tobacco products.
- Hazardous materials — flammable liquids, batteries shipped alone, aerosols, pesticides.
- Cosmetics, perfume, skincare, makeup (used or sealed), nail polish — including unopened.
- Food, supplements, vitamins.
- Medical devices, contact lenses, glasses with prescription lenses.
- Live animals, animal products requiring veterinary certificates.
- Items that infringe a third party's trademark, copyright, or design rights (see IP Policy).
- Items glorifying violence, hate, terrorism, or organisations designated as terrorist under Israeli law.
- Adult content, sex toys, pornographic clothing, or items targeting minors with sexualised themes.
- Currency, lottery tickets, gift cards above ₪200, items intended to launder money.
- Any item the seller cannot lawfully sell or ship under Israeli law or the buyer's local law.
4. Authenticated categories
For high-value designer items (Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Rolex, and similar brands above
a price threshold we may set from time to time), we may require additional photos or
third-party authentication before the listing goes live. We will notify you in-app if your
listing falls into this tier.
5. Communication standards
- Be courteous to other users. No insults, harassment, slurs, sexual content, or threats.
- Do not solicit transactions outside Aven (e.g., "DM me on Instagram and I'll cut the price"). This circumvents buyer protection and is grounds for suspension.
- Do not share another user's private contact information without consent.
6. Live broadcasts
- Show the items you say you are selling. Keep the listing details on screen accurate.
- No shilling — you may not bid on your own items, ask friends to drive prices, or use multiple accounts.
- Don't broadcast minors, recognisable bystanders without their consent, or copyrighted media (music tracks, films) playing in the background.
- Comply with the Aven Community Guidelines we publish from time to time.
7. Enforcement
Aven uses a combination of automated signals and human review. Where we identify a violation
we may, depending on severity and intent:
- Hide or delete the listing.
- Cancel and refund affected orders.
- Issue a warning.
- Suspend selling features.
- Permanently terminate the account.
- Report criminal activity (counterfeits, stolen goods) to the police.
If you believe enforcement was incorrect, write to rbesserat@gmail.com
(or support@aven.co.il once provisioned) within 14 days for a human review.
8. Updates
We may update this policy at any time. Material updates will be announced in-app and the
"Version" line above will change.
