No Lifetime warranties - Lifetime warranties are forbidden on MPGH. You may provide a warranty, as long as it has a specific time frame.
No duplicate threads - You can only open one thread for all products (accounts, keys etc). You may have one additional thread for all services (minecraft server votes etc). Meaning 2 threads total, one for all products, and one of all services.
Minimum requirements for services - To start a service (ie. not selling items, things such as MinecraftServer Votes etc) you must have at least 1 month registered on the site and 50 posts. If you do not meet these requirements, you can bypass them by providing a vouch copy to a staff member.
Inactive sales threads - If the seller has not replied or bumped his/her thread for more than a month, the shop is considered closed. Staff have the right to leave the thread to die or close it and mark it as sold. If you decide you would like to re-open your shop, you may message a staff member to re-open the thread.
Requesting A Thread Edit:
After 24 hours of your post or thread creation, you will not be able to edit it. This feature is there to prevent possible rule breaking content being added. Your thread edits after the 24 hour mark will have to be done my MPGH staff.
Reminder, if anything on the edit violates rules, it will be ignored. If a minion accidentally misses violated rules, that is still your responsibility and the thread will be closed/deleted. Minions aren't there to proof read thread edit requests, if it slips past them then your threads WILL be closed/deleted. You may request your thread to be re-opened/un-deleted with thread contents that meet the rules.

Meanings of each Marketplace prefix: [WTS] = Wanting To Sell. If you are selling something. [WTT] = Wanting To Trade. If you want to trade something (eg. 1 Netflix account for 1 Unmigrated account). [WTB] = Wanting To Buy. If you want to buy something specific with a specific price range. [SCAMMER] = The user who made the post has either scammed another user or has a unresolved scammed report against their name. [SOLD] = The items/services have been either sold or stopped.
Account types/Terms & Staying Safe:
Unmigrated accounts are accounts that have not been migrated from Minecraft.net to Mojang. These account generally suggest the account hasn't been used in years. In order to migrate an unmigrated account, you will need the original e-mail address, username, password and security question. Once migrated, the account becomes a full access account. In saying this, unmigrated accounts that only have the username and password, are still usable. However, in this case it would be considered an alt.
Migrated accounts aka Alts are accounts which have been already migrated to Mojang. These accounts are generally just used to play Minecraft. You cannot do anything other than play Minecraft. You cannot change the skin, password, security question etc.
Full access Minecraft account are accounts which have been already migrated to Mojang. However, it has full access, meaning you can change the password, e-mail, skin etc. Generally when you purchase the account, you will be given the answers to the security questions and in some cases the TID (refer to the definition of TID below).
OG/Semi-OG Accounts are accounts with a cool words. Generally that are one word without numbers, hyphens or underscores.
Optifine Cape are capes provided by optifine (a very popular mod). These are only visible to those who have the optifine mod. Generally, the seller will transfer someone else's cape onto your optifine account. The actual price of an optifine cape from the official store is $10.
MineCon Cape accounts are accounts which has a Minecon Cape. Meaning the original owner had attended MineCon and/or recieved a MineCon cape gift voucher to got a MineCon Cape. These accounts are rare! So make sure you get the seller to log onto a popular server with you, to see they are not scamming you.
TID: TID stands for Transaction ID. This ID is given to you when you originally purchase the account from Mojang themselves. Seller who claim an account comes with the TID may be lying as there is no definitive way to check if the TID is valid (as e-mail proof can be spoofed).
General Tip: Every account you purchase can be taken back by its original owner because the original owner will have the TID. If one has the TID, they essentially own the account.
