Seller policy and prohibited listings
Last updated October 4, 2026
Rules for every seller
These apply to every seller, from someone selling a few animals once to an established breeder:
- Animals only go home when they meet the minimum age and readiness rules shown for their animal type.
- List only animals you have the right to sell, with any permits or documents the law requires.
- Describe animals honestly, with your own photos, and disclose known health issues.
- Keep conversations and payment arrangements on PerfectPal where you can.
Not allowed
- Species that are banned where you or the buyer live, or that need permits you don't hold.
- Wild-caught animals offered as captive-bred.
- Animals that are sick, injured or too young to go home.
- Listings that ask for payment by gift card, cryptocurrency or wire transfer.
- Rescue or adoption listings, which PerfectPal doesn't support yet.
What happens when a rule is broken
Listings may be removed. Confirmed problems are recorded on the seller's account, and repeated problems restrict the account: listings are shown less often and some limits are lower until it's resolved. Sellers are always told why.
