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.
