Self-promotion appears to be restricted or banned. Read rules carefully before posting.
Rules mention karma but no specific threshold detected. Verify in the rules below.
Some link types appear restricted (external links, shorteners, or banned domains).
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.
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.
These threads are repetitive and often promotional. Refer to previous threads or other subgroups.
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.
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.
Posts seeking "pain points," "biggest challenges", app validation ideas, beta testers, app reviews, or feedback on app/software ideas are not allowed
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.
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.
