Community rules

Last updated: November 15, 2026

One Shot Lot works because buyers can trust a number on a photo. These rules keep it that way.

Objectionable content and abusive users are not tolerated. Everyone who sells agrees to these rules and the Terms before their shop is created.

Selling honestly

• Only list things you own and have in hand. The photo must show the real items, laid out as they are.
• Describe condition plainly. Chips, scratches, stains and repairs belong in the notes or a close-up.
• A number is a promise: once a batch is posted, its numbers never change. Ship the item the buyer paid for.
• Ship what you sold, or refund it.

Not allowed

• Firearms, ammunition and gun parts such as silencers and suppressors.
• Explosives, including grenades.
• Illegal drugs, and prescription medicines.
• Counterfeit goods and fake IDs.
• Stolen goods.
• Human remains.
• Any sexual content involving minors.
• Anything that is illegal to sell or ship where you or the buyer are.
• Hateful listings, and other people's personal information.

A short list of words for clearly banned items is checked when a batch is published. It is a tripwire, not a review: people handle reports.

Reporting a listing

Every shop, batch and item page has a Report link at the bottom. You do not need an account, and the seller is not told who reported. Your email is optional and only used if we need to ask you something.

Reports go to the One Shot Lot team. We act on reports within 24 hours: the listing is hidden or the seller suspended. Orders already paid for can still be shipped and refunded.

Blocking a seller

In the iPhone app you can block a seller, which hides their shop from you.

Paying safely

Pay only through One Shot Lot checkout. Payments made any other way are not covered by the purchase rule (first payment through gets the item) or by the receipts and refunds here.
