r/ecommerce rules (8)

  1. 1
    No Soliciting, Promotion, or Direct Soliciting via DM

    No Self-Promotion: Do not solicit, promote, or attempt to acquire personal or private contact with users in any way (even if free). This includes soliciting posts, DM requests, invitations, referrals, or any attempt to initiate personal contact. This includes posts seeking services. Your post/comment will be removed, and you will be banned without warning. This is not the place to promote or seek out services in any way. This is our most strictly enforced rule.

  2. 2
    No External Links (Except Site Reviews)

    Do not post links to services, blogs, videos, courses, or websites (see Section III for site review exceptions). Do not link to your YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, or other pages. Links to pages that address a specific issue may be allowed, but context may be reviewed by moderators.

  3. 3
    No 3PL Related Threads

    These threads are repetitive and often promotional. Refer to previous threads or other subgroups.

  4. 4
    No "Get Rich Quick", "Success Stories", Case Studies, etc

    No "Get Rich Quick", "Success Stories", Case Studies, or Blogspam Posts: Do not post "We turned $XXX into $XXX in 4 Weeks - Here's How," How-To Guides, "Top 5 Ways You Can..." lists, or other blogspam.

  5. 5
    Do not post courses, themes, or stores for sale

    r/ecommerce is not the place to sell your existing ecommerce store, theme, account, or course. Users who violate this rule will be banned, due to the risk of fraud and dishonesty it causes. This included trade offers.

  6. 6
    Any 'AMA'-type post must first be approved by mods.
  7. 7
    No 'Dev Research' posts

    Posts seeking "pain points," "biggest challenges", app validation ideas, beta testers, app reviews, or feedback on app/software ideas are not allowed

  8. 8
    No AI or Suspected AI Slop

    Obvious or suspected AI content is not welcome here. Violations from lower-karma accounts with little contribution history in this sub may result in a ban. This will be at the sole discretion of the group moderators.

  • · Personal and confidential information
  • · Threatening, harassing, or inciting violence

What to know before posting in r/ecommerce

r/ecommerce moderates aggressively against the constant stream of dropshipping spam and 'I'll teach you how to make $10k/mo' posts. AutoModerator filters posts with affiliate-style URLs, course pitches, and unverified income claims. Genuine operational discussions, app reviews, and merchant case studies are welcomed. The audience can spot fake testimonials and AI-generated reviews quickly, so authenticity is the cost of entry.

This commentary is based on observed moderation patterns and community behavior — the authoritative rules are the numbered list above, pulled directly from r/ecommerce's moderators. Have questions about how rules work across Reddit? See the main tool page for FAQs.
