Prohibited and counterfeited items

Beta Codes/Account Selling

The sale of beta codes, accounts and account sharing is strictly prohibited on Gameflip. Doing so will put your account at risk for suspension.

If the product you are selling is a copy of another work that you aren't authorized to copy, don't list the item. Beta software, test software, and evaluation software are not permitted on Gameflip. These are pre-release copies of software distributed by software developers strictly for the purpose of evaluation and troubleshooting. Distribution of such copies violates the software developers' copyrights. You need to obtain the manufacturer's consent to sell this kind of software.

Products That Require Code Activation In-Person

The sale of products that require code activation in-person, such as gift cards for restaurants, retail stores, theaters, and shows are not allowed to be listed or sold on Gameflip.

Please, read Can I Sell Non-Gaming Gift Cards on Gameflip? for more information about the allowed cases for non-gaming gift card sales.

Random Item Listings

Any listing that is created without identifying the exact item that will be sold is prohibited on Gameflip.

Creating listings where the Buyer has a "Random", "Chance", or any sort of probability of items receive will fall under this. Listings that do not identify the item to be sold will be deleted and any accounts associated with the listing may be suspended or banned.

Counterfeit Items

Any item which includes a mark that is identical or substantially indistinguishable from a registered trademark, but is not manufactured by or with the consent of the trademark holder is considered to be “counterfeit” and prohibited.

It is strictly prohibited to sell stolen or counterfeit items. Listing items that are stolen or counterfeit will be deleted and any accounts associated with these listings may be suspended or banned. Further action, including criminal prosecution, may be taken.
