Trust and compliance

A marketplace built around responsibility

Every account, listing, and transaction runs through policy controls designed for the realities of live-animal commerce.

Read our standards

Seller and buyer responsibility

Sellers attest to legal possession and compliant shipping before publishing. Buyers see their responsibilities — permits, local laws, and care requirements — before checkout.

Prohibited species controls

Venomous, medically significant, wild-caught, native-wildlife, and invasive listings are screened and blocked. Restricted categories require review before going live.

Secure accounts and enforcement

Stripe-backed payments, seller storefront signals, rate-limited account protections, and active marketplace policy enforcement on every listing.
