Can you promote in r/booksforsaleindia?
A community-driven platform for buying and selling books across India. Whether you're looking to sell pre-loved books or hunting for your next great read, this is the place for book enthusiasts to connect and trade directly.
The short answer
If you’re a founder/vendor replying publicly, treat your message as a normal book listing: be transparent, follow the required format and rules, avoid promotional language or links to a company unless you have mod approval.
What works here
- Post legitimate book listings with title, author, condition, price
- Include shipping/pick-up info and clear photos
- Use required post format and flair
- Communicate transaction details via DM
What gets posts removed
- Unsolicited self-promotion, advertising, or sales of non-book products
- Posting company promotional content or recruiting customers without mod approval
- Including unrelated links or promotional calls-to-action
- Repeatedly reposting beyond allowed frequency
