Seller Agreement
Summary: Only verified physical tech shops in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad/Rawalpindi may list on resale.com.pk. You are the sole seller of record for your items and must honor honest condition grades, legal title, and accurate PKR pricing. resale.com.pk is a listing venue, not a buyer, broker, or payment processor. We reserve the right to introduce commercial fees with 30 days' advance notice.
1. Eligibility and Physical Shop Requirement
To sell on resale.com.pk, you must meet and maintain the following criteria:
- You must operate a verified, physical shop or retail counter located in Karachi, Lahore, or Islamabad/Rawalpindi.
- Individual sellers, online-only distributors without a physical counter, and mobile peddlers are strictly prohibited.
- You agree to provide physical proof of premises, market plaza location, shop number, and valid contact details during on-site and remote verification.
2. Seller of Record and Legal Responsibility
You acknowledge and agree that your shop is the sole seller of record for every listed item:
- Condition and Grading: You must grade and describe items honestly according to platform grading criteria (New, Open Box, Grade A, Grade B, Grade C, or For Parts). Concealing faults, screen defects, battery health degradation, or repairs is a violation of this agreement.
- Warranty and Returns: You are directly responsible to the customer for honoring any stated shop warranty, return window, or repair commitments.
- Authenticity and Lawful Title: You warrant that every device and component offered has been legally acquired and belongs to you with clear title.
- PTA Compliance: Mobile phones and cellular-enabled tablets must strictly adhere to Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) regulations. You may not list or sell PTA-blocked or non-compliant devices under the guise of approved hardware. Selling stolen, IMEI-tampered, or blocked hardware is illegal under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act 2016 (PECA) and will result in immediate shop ban and reporting to law enforcement authorities.

All listings published by your shop must:
- Specify accurate hardware model associations from the canonical catalog.

- All inspections, handovers, payments, and receipt issuances take place directly at your shop counter or between you and the customer.

We retain the unreserved right to moderate the marketplace to maintain customer trust:
- We may unpublish, decline, or remove any listing that fails to meet accuracy or quality standards.
- We may suspend or terminate shop accounts for customer complaints, unverified credentials, misgraded stock, or failure to pass periodic reverification.
- Suspended shops lose all public storefront visibility and search indexing immediately.
