Itinerant Traders

Platform Trust & Integrity

Itinerant Traders is a community platform. Everything we do to verify, moderate, and govern listings is in service of keeping that community trustworthy for everyone — organisers, traders, and visitors alike.


Event verification

Before an event listing goes live, the organiser must submit details of the authority or body that has approved the event — such as a council permit, venue confirmation, or relevant regulatory approval. Our team reviews this information before the listing is activated.

This process exists to protect attendees. We want everyone who finds an event on this platform to be confident that the event is genuine, properly authorised, and worth their time and money.

What organisers need to provide

  • Name of the approving authority or organisation
  • Contact details for that authority
  • Supporting documents (council permit, venue letter, etc.)

Verification is reviewed within 2 business days. If your submission is rejected, you will receive specific feedback explaining why and what is needed to resubmit.


Commercial listing standards

All paid listings — events, vendor directory entries, and employment listings — must represent genuine businesses and genuine opportunities. We do not allow:

Listings that violate these standards will be removed without refund. Repeat violations may result in account suspension.


Community moderation

All community content — forum posts, feedback, noticeboard notices — is subject to moderation. Users can report content they believe violates community standards. Reports are reviewed by our moderation team and actioned within a reasonable timeframe.

Content may be removed for the following reasons:

Moderation decisions are made by humans, not automated systems. If you believe your content was removed in error, contact us using the details below.


Reporting a problem

If you see something on the platform that concerns you — a suspicious listing, inappropriate content, or a business that appears to be misrepresenting itself — please use the report function on the relevant post or listing. Reports go directly to our moderation team.

For urgent concerns or issues that cannot be reported through the platform, contact us directly via the contact page.


Our commitment

We are a small team building this platform for the Australian market trading community. We take trust seriously because we are part of this community too. If we get something wrong, tell us — we want to know.
