This page lists what’s allowed, what’s restricted, and what’s prohibited. It’s not exhaustive — when in doubt, email compliance@pandabase.io before listing the product. We’d rather answer a question than terminate an account.

Digital products and services only

Pandabase is built exclusively for digital products and services. You may sell:

  • Software, SaaS, web apps, plugins, scripts, mobile apps.
  • Digital downloads — ebooks, templates, themes, fonts, presets, assets, sample packs, stock media.
  • Online courses, video tutorials, written guides, paid newsletters, paid community access.

Physical goods of any kind are not supported — that includes apparel, print-on-demand merch, books in print, food, beverages, dietary supplements, cosmetics, hardware, accessories, and anything that ships. A store that mixes digital and physical products is treated as a physical-goods store.

  • Violating laws of any jurisdiction where your product is offered, sold, or accessed.

How we enforce

  • We review onboarding listings, product titles, descriptions, and incoming dispute patterns.
  • Customer reports, network alerts (Verifi/Ethoca), and EFW signals are weighed alongside our own monitoring.
  • For ambiguous cases we’ll reach out, ask questions, and give time to provide context before any account action.
  • For zero-tolerance violations we suspend immediately and refer to law enforcement where required.

This list isn’t exhaustive. Pandabase determines whether a business, product, or activity violates this policy. If you’re unsure, ask first — compliance@pandabase.io.
