Hi, i'm a mobile developer and I have an application i sell.
Am i allowed to post a description of the application anywhere in xda forums?
Please ask Mods here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276306&page=66
The forum rules state:
"If you wish to advertise a product, contact us we provide ads. But do not post it in the forums, it will be removed and you're likely to receive a ban.
You are however allowed to sell used goods like your own device, parts of your device or accessories for your device in the marketplace forum, please read the rules there before posting."
If you are posting an application that has a 100% working free version (not shareware trial period), that should be OK.
But it sounds like you are selling an app, so the simple answer from the Rules is "No".

I want to buy an OPPO N1 or N3 (N1 preferably) but I can't find anywhere online. Any suggestions or offer?
Thank you :good:

This is a big site, 100s of threads go unanswered every day.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/find-threads/unanswered
Not much can be done about that.
Search for threads that have been active.
Most people that visit this site never post more than a few times.
Very few that do post do not watch for new threads.
You just have to describe your problem well and wait.

Also, don't keep creating new threads, you are more likely to lose any interest in your issue than gain.
If you have made progress or have more details reply to the same thread to bump it up, and update title and original post (post #1)

In general offering a reward or payment for help is allowed, but often has little effect on getting an actual solution. You really need help from someone familiar with your device and similar issue, that may be a very small number.

And trust me we're willing to answer without you paying us (And personally I refuse to get paid).
What I think when I see a question thread:
Why does the title means nothing... next.
Alright, I have no infos in the OP, next.
Ok that one has more infos, but that's device specific. I'm going to point him the right forum so he can get an answer. Next.
That one is perfect: has a good title, infos, a general question. The thing is that problem is way too niche. Idk the answer straight away...
-->I don't know how to solve it. Let's test some things and see how it goes
-->Sorry not enough time to commit, next.
Oh my god that one didn't even searched before posting, I'd like to set the record straight, but that's a newbie, I'll pass this time...NEXT!
What! Another one that didn't search?! How complicated could it be. I'm literally gonna link him to www.google.com and he does the rest. next...
Title: "Love Mariage Specialist Baba Ki Punjab +01234567789"
Alright, it's ban hammer time !
And so on....
If you made a post in the Q'n'A section put a link to it here I'll see if I can help with that

Negative, XDA does not offer paid technical services!
And if someone did offer a paid service it'd be against the rules of this private platform, and actions would be taken accordingly. This does not only apply to posts on the site but also to conversations.

Admin, if not allowed, please delete.
I know I'm not allowed to list for sale here, but what sites are safest and favored to sell devices? Want to sell the P6P and a couple other devices I have that I no longer use.
Swappa is good
Old news, but as far as I know still applies, and is what I use: https://www.xda-developers.com/xda-makes-swappa-its-official-marketplace/

As my esteemed team mate and also @spart0n stated but even the XDA Forum Rules do provide for this:
7. Do not sell or trade on the forums.
If you wish to advertise a product, simply contact us. We can provide ads but you are not permitted to just post it in the forums. If you do, it will be removed and you're likely to receive a ban.
