Seller Standards & Ethics

Seller Code of Conduct

The non-negotiable integrity standards, transparency pledges, and accuracy rules mandatory for all Private Sellers, Agents, and Dealerships.

01 Listing Honesty

1. True Representation Standards

As an accredited Bidrit seller, you pledge that every vehicle published under your profile reflects its exact real-world condition. This requires:

  • Genuine Odometer Reading: Strictly zero tolerance for odometer rollback or falsified instrument cluster readings.
  • Actual Current Photographs: Stock photos, edited filters, or images of other vehicles are strictly banned.
  • Transparent Condition Disclosure: Prior accidents, paint overspray, engine oil consumption, or ABS/airbag warning lights must be noted openly.
  • Clean Title & Valid Customs: Sellers must verify that customs duty papers are authentic and verifiable before listing.
02 Fair Dealing

2. Pricing & Handover Ethics

Sellers must honor agreed listing prices once an escrow transaction is locked. Demanding unexpected cash top-ups, attempting to renegotiate after buyer deposit, or pressuring buyers to transfer funds off-platform results in instant suspension.

Vehicles scheduled for Bidrit Drive pickup must be made available on time at the designated custody hub in Abuja, Lagos, or other partner locations.

03 Enforcement & Penalties

3. The Three-Strike Rule & Instant Bans

Minor discrepancies (e.g. slight mileage variance) incur an official warning and required listing revision.

Severe fraud—including listing stolen vehicles, forged title documents, or deliberate concealment of flood/chassis damage—results in an immediate permanent ban, forfeiture of listing deposits, and blacklisting of the seller's NIN and CAC numbers across the entire platform.

04 Appeals & Mediation

4. Seller Disciplinary Appeals

If you believe an inspection rejection or account flag was issued in error, you may file a formal appeal within 7 business days to the Bidrit Trust & Safety Committee at safety@bidrit.com accompanied by verifiable third-party documentation.
