Flea market

Flea market rules

The flea market is a free classifieds board for anglers. Deals are made directly between users: Viskaart is not a party to the deal, takes no payments and does not inspect items. These rules help you trade safely and fairly.

Updated 4 October 2026

1.Safety: never pay in advance

  • No prepayments, “reservations” or “deposits” — not even small ones. No listing is worth that risk.
  • Pay on receipt: meet in person or use cash on delivery / the carrier’s secure-deal service. Inspect the item before paying.
  • Never share card details (expiry date, CVV) or SMS codes, and don’t open “payment links”. Viskaart never sends payment links for items.
  • Talk in the Viskaart chat — the conversation remains evidence if there is a dispute. Pressure to move to another messenger right away is a scam sign.
  • Red flags: price far below market, urgency and pressure, refusing cash on delivery, “I’m out of town — I’ll ship after prepayment”, a fresh account with no fishing reports, stock photos.
  • Sellers: don’t ship before you have been paid. Beware of “buyers” asking you to pay “insurance” or a “delivery fee”, or sending links to a “courier website”.

2.What you can sell

  • Anything for fishing: rods, reels, tackle, lures, fish finders and electronics, boats and motors, clothing and footwear, tents, chairs, accessories, books.
  • Used and new, swaps and giveaways are welcome.
  • The item must be in your possession and belong to you.

3.What is prohibited

  • Poaching gear: electrofishing devices, nets, lift nets, spears, traps, set lines and anything banned by the fishing rules of your country.
  • Fish, roe, catch and other fishery products.
  • Weapons, ammunition, pyrotechnics, restricted knives.
  • Alcohol, tobacco, medicines, veterinary drugs.
  • Counterfeits, stolen goods, items without required documents.
  • Services, rentals, advertising of shops, websites or channels, fundraising.
  • Anything unrelated to fishing.

4.How to write a listing

  • One listing — one item or one set. No duplicates or re-posting the same item.
  • Only your own photos (1–6), taken by you, so the buyer sees the real condition. No internet or catalogue photos.
  • Title — what exactly you sell (brand, model, size). No CAPS LOCK, “!!!”, contacts or links.
  • Honest description: condition, defects, what’s included, how long it was used. Mention flaws upfront, not in chat.
  • A real price you are ready to accept. Use “Open to offers”, “Exchange” and “Free” for flexibility.
  • Correct category and the actual location of the item.
  • Sold it? Tap “Sold” so people stop messaging.

5.Duration and limits

  • A listing stays active for 30 days. We remind you 3 days before it expires; then it goes to the archive, from where you can re-publish it.
  • “Bump” to the top once every 14 days, with Premium — once every 3 days. The exact date and time of the next bump is shown on your listing.
  • Without Premium: 3 listings per month, 2 active at a time, up to 10 saved items and 3 saved searches.
  • With Premium: 12 listings per month, 10 active, unlimited saved items, 20 saved searches.

6.Communication

  • Keep it to the point and reply to messages — even when declining.
  • No insults, spam or mass messaging. Don’t offer your own items in other people’s listings.
  • Don’t post other people’s contacts or personal data.

7.Moderation

  • Listings that break the rules are removed without notice; the account may be restricted or blocked.
  • Fraud and poaching gear mean an immediate ban with no re-registration.
  • Something wrong with a listing or a user? Email us: [email protected] (link to the listing + screenshots).

8.Liability

  • You are responsible for the legality of the item, the accuracy of the listing and the terms of the deal.
  • Viskaart does not compensate losses from deals between users. In case of fraud contact the police — we provide available data upon an official request.
  • By posting a listing or messaging a seller you accept these rules. We may update them — the current version is always here.
