At Yuppieyo, we take our obligations for animal welfare protection very seriously. The Pets category aims to assist individuals in locating suitable, loving, and secure homes for their pets. Please abide by the following regulations when putting an ad on Yuppieyo to safeguard animal welfare and obey UK law:

  • Members are permitted two rehoming advertisements per year. Ads that surpass this threshold may be deleted. Note: A litter may be included in a single ad so long as all individuals are pictured. Multiple litters from separate parents or born at different periods are prohibited from being included in the same advertisement.
  • All pets must be posted on Yuppieyo with a price. Pet "swapping" is also illegal.
  • Pet Wanted advertisements are prohibited.
  • Pets are for life . Therefore, we prohibit the advertising of animals as Christmas gifts, Easter gifts, Valentine's Day gifts, etc.
  • We discourage reproduction on Yuppieyo. No stud or breeding services are permitted. Similarly, animals cannot be sold for breeding reasons or if they are pregnant.
  • Litters cannot be marketed before their birth. This consists of hatching eggs.
  • Dogs, cats, and other animals may not be sold before 8 weeks of age. They may be advertised prior to 8 weeks as long as the ad specifies that they will not be rehomed until they reach 8 weeks of age.
  • Prior to sale, all dogs older than 8 weeks must be microchipped.
  • All advertisements for pets must include a photograph of the particular animal being offered. If selling a litter, each animal must be depicted in the advertisement, either collectively or individually. Lost/found advertisements are excluded from this rule.
  • Puppies, kittens, and other litters of mammals must contain a photo of the mother and litter (preferably suckling mum). Ads that are reported to violate this policy will be deleted.
  • Yuppieyo prohibits advertisements that offer shipment or delivery of animals. Animals may only be sold locally so that transactions may take place in person and animal welfare can be guaranteed. Likewise, gathering at a third-party site is prohibited for the same reason.
  • Imported animals are not permitted. This includes animals rescued from abroad.
  • Animals may under no circumstances be sold for use in fights.

On Yuppieyo, certain sorts of pets are not authorised. In addition to our list of prohibited animals, please do not post pets that fall under any of the following restrictions:

  • It is prohibited to sell dogs with docked tails, cropped/clipped ears, or tacked eyes. These services are similarly prohibited. Eye tacking is approved in breeds prone to entropion, including Shar Peis.
  • Cats with declawed paws and birds with clipped wings are prohibited from being sold. These services are similarly prohibited.
  • The Pets category of Yuppieyo is for pets exclusively. We prohibit the selling of hunting and working dogs.
  • Yuppieyo prohibits the selling of live or frozen animals for feeder purposes (i.e., mice to be fed to snakes).
  • Yuppieyo prohibits the selling of animals whose ownership requires a licence under the Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976 (legislation.gov.uk)

Vehicle  Scams

 

Yuppieyo is a fantastic platform for buying and selling autos. However, like with any internet purchase or sale, it's critical to approach with caution. Along with the usual scam red flags, there are a few extra things to keep an eye out for when purchasing second-hand vehicles.

 

Examine the Vehicle

 

It's always a good idea to inspect any second-hand item before purchasing it. You might also request that the seller meet you at a mechanic's shop for a professional inspection. Be wary if the vendor claims you won't be able to check the vehicle for any reason (particularly if they claim it's in a remote place).

 

Take the vehicle for a spin

 

Test drives are an essential component of the car-buying process. If you feel uncomfortable with the situation at any point, don't be scared to leave.

 

If you're going to test drive a vehicle, make sure someone knows where you're going and who you'll be with. Bring a friend or family member with you if possible.

 

When selling a car, make sure you get the buyer's driver's licence and evidence of insurance. If everything seems good, go for the test drive with the buyers. Tell someone who you'll be driving with and when you'll return.

 

Look into the vehicle's past.

 

It is best to conduct your own history check so that you can examine all of a vehicle's facts. We recommend Get vehicle information from DVLA - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

 

Be Cautious of Escrow Services

 

Yuppieyo does not provide any type of escrow service. It is a scam if a seller says that their vehicle is in escrow with us. Please do not send any money. Please be aware that any invoices or PayPal communications sent to you in connection with this escrow service are not genuine. If a seller makes these statements, contact us straight away.

mail@yuppieyo.co.uk

 

Avoiding Discrimination

Fairness is something that everyone desires and deserves. The Equalities Act of 2010 protects our rights in the United Kingdom, ensuring that we all have equal access to employment, public and private services.

It's critical that your ad respects the law when you post it on Yuppieyo. You must compose your advertisements in such a way that they do not discriminate against anyone based on their age, handicap, gender, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation.

With this wonderful online tool from the Equality and Human Rights Commission,  you can easily bring the spirit and the letter of the law to your posts. Whether you're posting or responding, it can help you discover the answers you need in practically every situation. Plus, it's completely free.
