Carrot, Strengthening Guidelines for Prohibited Items in Secondhand Transactions

Danggeun announced on the 27th that it has revamped its prohibited items guideline to foster a safe secondhand trading culture. This guideline revision was planned to effectively inform users of essential information and precautions, as many users unknowingly post listings for items prohibited from personal transactions under current laws due to the widespread use of secondhand trading.


First, items directly related to user safety, such as ▲life ▲personal information ▲youth-harmful items ▲medicines, are displayed at the top to alert users and encourage safe trading participation. In particular, it emphasized that medicines cannot be traded for animal use, and that non-alcoholic beverages, electronic cigarettes, and e-cigarette devices are classified as youth-harmful items and cannot be traded secondhand.

Additionally, within categories, items that can be traded are separately indicated to reduce user confusion. For example, in the medicines and medical devices category, animal medicines, herbal medicines, and diet pills cannot be traded between individuals, but thermometers and blood pressure monitors can be traded, which is separately noted.


Through this guideline, Danggeun reiterates that all items prohibited from personal transactions under current laws cannot be traded on Danggeun either. It also informs that if reports of prohibited items are received, service use may be suspended according to operational policies, and users may be subject to penalties. Furthermore, Danggeun specifies that items inconsistent with the service purpose, such as precious metals over 1 million won, free sharing with conditions, and postpaid payment limits, are prohibited from trading under its own policies regardless of current laws.



A Danggeun representative stated, "Through this guideline revision, we aim to help users recognize the key points they must follow when trading secondhand." He added, "Along with the guidelines, we will continue technical measures such as keyword monitoring and sending prohibited item notification alerts to manage prohibited items more thoroughly."
