Common GasLamp Antique & Decorating Mall Requirements

To provide GasLamp customers and Dealers with the highest quality of products and services, we require all shops to meet our quality standards:
You must be a registered dealer with GasLamp with your full name, working email address, mailing address, and working phone number in your Dealer Agreement. This information is used by GasLamp, but not viewable to Buyers.

Each item placed in GasLamp shop must have a full text description that describes only the item.
Items that cannot be legally sold or traded cannot be listed and if listed will be subject to immediate removal by GasLamp.

GasLamp retains the right to decide whether an item is appropriate for display.

Your GasLamp account must be in good standing at all times.

You must not have any unresolved customer complaint against you. Any complaint must be resolved in a timely manner.

All items listed must be available for sale.

Bulk sales or "lots" in which a single listing contains multiples or groups of different items must follow these guidelines:
The listing does not contain jewelry pieces.

The listing cannot contain more than 12 items.

Pieces that were originally manufactured by one company as part of a "set", such as cups, bowls and plates, can be listed together for a single sale price in excess of 12 items per listing.

In a "lot" sale each item must be of good quality and able to meet age specifications for the Category in which it is listed.

So called, 'repair lot's' of broken or damaged items are disallowed.

All items included in a listing that is a "lot" sale must be closely related within a single collecting niche.

If a group of items is offered in a single listing as a "lot" sale, no item from it can be sold as a "choice" to the buyer from within that listing. Items available for individual purchase should be listed separately.

GasLamp holds our Dealers to a very high, ethical, conduct of business. If a customer complains directly to us about a Dealer, we investigate the complaint, and resolve the complaint against them. If the complaint cannot be resolved in a timely manner, we may temporarily withdraw that dealer’s items until the complaint is resolved. A second complaint is sufficient grounds for removing the Dealer from GasLamp sales. GasLamp also may discontinue a Dealer’s listing for being rude or abusive to customers, dishonest, for unprofessional behavior, or if we feel that in our best judgement, leaving a Dealer’s items up will cause future problems.
