Buyer and seller terms

What we are

Postbox Placements is a marketplace run by [Company name and registered address]. It connects buyers who want guest posts with publishers of UK websites. We are not the publisher of any website listed: each publisher is responsible for their own site and what they publish.

How payment works

You pay when you place an order, by PayPal or card through PayPal. The payment is taken into our PayPal account and we hold it. The publisher is not paid while the order is open.

When the post is live you can approve it or ask for changes. If you do neither, the order is approved automatically 3 days after the post goes live, as long as we can find your link on the page. On approval the publisher’s share (the order total minus our 20% commission) is added to their balance, which we pay to their PayPal account.

Refunds

• The publisher must publish within the turnaround shown on their listing, counted from payment. If they don’t, the order is refunded in full automatically.
• If the publisher declines your order before publishing it, you are refunded in full.
• If you ask for changes, the publisher has 3 days to publish again. If they don’t, you are refunded in full.
• After approval we check your link daily for 170 days from payment. If it is removed and not put back within 7 days of us noticing, you are refunded in full and the amount is taken off the publisher’s balance.

Refunds go back to the PayPal account or card you paid with. If something has gone wrong with an order, contact us and we will look at it.

Seller obligations

• List only UK websites that you own or control, and prove ownership when asked.
• Publish the post as ordered, by the deadline, and keep the link live and unchanged for at least 170 days from payment.
• Mark paid links rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow", in line with Google’s guidance on links in paid content.
• Don’t list sites that are part of a private blog network (PBN) or that exist mainly to sell links, and don’t give misleading metrics such as traffic, DR or DA.
• Pay any tax due on your earnings. If you are VAT registered, add your details in your account.

Prohibited content

No content or links that are illegal in the UK, or that promote gambling to under-18s, adult content, weapons, drugs, counterfeit goods, malware, hate, harassment, or scams. No copied or plagiarised articles. Publishers may decline any order, and we may remove listings or cancel and refund orders that break these rules.

No ranking guarantees

We don’t promise any effect on search rankings, traffic or sales. Search engines decide how they treat links. Metrics shown on listings come from the publisher or third-party tools and are a guide only.

Liability

Our total liability for an order is limited to the amount you paid for it. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, such as lost profits or rankings. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or your statutory rights as a consumer.

Law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction.
