AC MALL rules

  • Only new goods. Used items go to the Flea market (장터).
  • Sellers collect payment themselves. Cash on delivery is the default; AC Hub never takes payments.
  • Fresh food, alcohol, tobacco, medicines and any product that violates Philippine law may be rejected.
  • Packaged food and beauty products need an FDA or other permit number.
  • Listings with risky words are checked by a moderator before they are shown.
  • Confirm new orders within your reply time, or they are cancelled automatically.

Laws and your duties

  • Register your business with the BIR and show your BIR registration (COR or Seal Badge) on your shop page.
  • Give your real name, address, phone, email and a valid ID. The law requires us to verify every seller.
  • Show the full price, including taxes and fees, on every listing. "PM for price" is not allowed.
  • Describe each item truthfully (name, brand, condition) and deliver exactly what you listed.
  • Issue an invoice or receipt for every sale.
  • Regulated goods (food, cosmetics, medical items) need valid FDA or other permits. Enter the permit number.
  • Products on the DTI mandatory list need a PS mark or an ICC sticker.
  • Use buyers' personal data only to fulfil their orders, and keep it safe (Data Privacy Act).
  • Sell genuine goods only. Counterfeits and pirated copies break the IP Code.
  • Raffles and prize promos need a government permit at least 30 days before they start.
  • You are first responsible for refunds and complaints. Answer buyer reports quickly.
