Before You Start
  • Marketplace is a public beta. You are welcome to use it and share feedback through Contact Support.
  • Browsing is public and is not Rabbitry Run verification of a seller or a listing. Research the seller and the animal before you exchange money. Google or email/password sign-in unlocks buyer actions using your existing Rabbitry Run account; buying does not require a management subscription or trial.
  • Marketplace needs an internet connection. Your existing protected Rabbitry Run offline records keep their separate behavior.
  • Marketplace does not process payments. Confirm availability, pickup or transport, and payment arrangements directly with the seller.

Overview

  • Marketplace brings together listings that sellers explicitly share from their Storefront. Private herd notes, street addresses and ZIP/postal lookup hints are not published. Pet-quality rabbits, meat rabbits, mixed breeds, homestead rabbits, show rabbits, breeding animals, and other lawful listings may be shared. A rabbit does not need to be show quality or pedigreed.

When To Use

  • Find rabbits or supplies, contact a breeder, save possibilities, or manage your Marketplace listings.

Step-By-Step Guide

1

Find and save listings

Start as a guest, then sign in when you want to contact someone.

1.1 Browse Explore

Search by breed, color, seller or item. Use Rabbits or Supplies & more, then More filters for price, receiving options and status. Switch between Grid and Map.

1.2 Read the listing

Open a card for photos, description, availability and the seller’s Storefront link. Missing prices show contact pricing. Map pins use approximate city locations, not a seller’s address; listings without a usable location may not have a pin.

1.3 Save possibilities

Use Save and visit Saved. Guest saves stay in this browser when storage is available; if the app reports session-only saving, they will not survive closing the session. After explicit sign-in, available saves merge into that account. Unavailable entries can be removed without exposing private archives.

You Should Now Have
  • You can find a listing, understand its availability and return to saved choices.

Share and maintain seller listings

Storefront visibility and Marketplace sharing are separate controls.

2.1 Prepare the source

In Rabbitry Run Storefront, mark a rabbit For Sale and enable its public Storefront visibility, or create a public custom listing. Set public title, description, photos and price; leave price blank for contact pricing.

2.2 Opt in deliberately

Enable Marketplace sharing in Storefront or My Marketplace. Opt-in alone cannot publish an ineligible or hidden source. My Marketplace lists eligible owner sources even before they have a public Marketplace row.

2.3 Edit or withdraw

Open My Marketplace → Seller Marketplace to edit title, formatted description, price, cover photo and photo order, Storefront category and weight visibility. Custom items also support category, quantity, units and availability. Control Storefront visibility and Marketplace sharing independently. Rabbit record status and completed sales remain in management. Changes publish automatically after Storefront publication and sync complete; temporary failures retry automatically.

2.4 Keep information current

Set city/state using the optional private ZIP lookup in Storefront Settings. Only city, region and country are public. Custom Sold Out items appear under sold status rather than available browsing. Ending eligibility or sharing removes the Marketplace listing. Review expired listings and use Renew when offered; renewal must still meet publication requirements.

You Should Now Have
  • Only intended, eligible listings appear and their public details stay current.
3

Message and arrange a hold

Agree on availability and the next steps directly.

3.1 Contact the seller

Choose Message on a listing. You can compose before signing in; Send asks you to authenticate and resumes the authorized draft. Use Messages for the full inbox or the floating desktop chat/mobile drawer.

3.2 Use conversation controls

Send text, emojis or a photo, and react to messages. Conversation controls let you archive, mute, manage read receipts, report or block. Delete chat removes history for you, not the other participant; a new message can bring the conversation back.

3.3 Request or cancel a hold

Message the seller before requesting a hold. Sellers accept or decline requests and can cancel requested or accepted holds from My Marketplace or the conversation. A Marketplace hold is not payment and does not itself create the canonical Rabbitry Run Sales reservation.

You Should Now Have
  • Buyer and seller can discuss a listing and see the current hold state.
4

Choose notifications and get help

Notifications are optional, with help available throughout beta.

4.1 Opt into notifications

Use the notification controls in Messages on a supported HTTPS browser or installed PWA, then approve the browser permission if you want alerts. Availability depends on the browser/device. You can turn alerts off; muted conversations do not send Marketplace push alerts.

4.2 Choose date display

Choose a Date format under My account. The same browser preference is available in Rabbitry Run Profile customization; changing the display does not alter stored dates or calendar selections.

4.3 Stay safe and give feedback

Use Report for scams, illegal activity, harassment, spam, impersonation, or other abuse of Marketplace. Ordinary disagreements about quality, price, or a private sale are not Marketplace reports. Read /marketplace/policy for the Safety & Conduct Policy. Confirm seller identity and purchase details before exchanging money. Contact Support with the route, action and error you saw; never include passwords or private credentials.

You Should Now Have
  • Your notification preference is deliberate and you know how to report a problem.

You're Done When

  • Explore and listing details load online.
  • Your sharing controls match your intended public listings.
  • Messages and hold changes are visible to the intended participants.

Common Mistakes

  • Treating Storefront visibility as automatic Marketplace opt-in.
  • Assuming a map pin is an exact pickup location.
  • Treating a hold as payment or a completed sale.
  • Expecting Rabbitry Run to decide an ordinary buyer and seller disagreement.

If Something Still Looks Wrong

Why is my opted-in listing missing?

Check For Sale status for rabbits, public Storefront visibility and Marketplace sharing. Allow automatic publication to finish. Expired, removed or ineligible listings do not appear in active browsing. If the issue persists while online, contact Support.

Why do messages or the map show unavailable?

Marketplace requires a live connection. Reconnect and retry the affected screen. A map service failure does not stop Grid browsing. Protected Rabbitry Run offline records are separate.

Why did I not receive a notification?

Check Messages notification settings, browser permission, device support and whether the conversation is muted or already read. Inbox unread indicators remain available without push.

FAQ

Do I need a subscription to buy?

No. Buyer sign-in does not start a management trial or subscription. Rabbitry Run management and billing remain separate.

Does Delete chat delete my account?

No. It removes that conversation’s history for you. Marketplace account settings do not offer whole-account deletion; use Rabbitry Run Settings or Contact Support for account deletion instructions.

Does Marketplace take payments?

No. Buyers and sellers arrange payment, pickup and transport directly.

Does Marketplace only list show rabbits?

No. Pet-quality rabbits, meat rabbits, mixed breeds, homestead rabbits, show rabbits, breeding animals, and other lawful listings may be shared. Buyers decide whether a listing fits their needs.

What should I report?

Report scams, illegal activity, harassment, spam, impersonation, or other abuse of Marketplace. The Safety & Conduct Policy at /marketplace/policy explains that Rabbitry Run does not mediate ordinary purchase disagreements.

When To Contact Support

  • Eligible listings remain missing after automatic retries.
  • Messages, holds or account access behave incorrectly.
  • You need help with Marketplace-only account deletion.
