As in Subject - I am not sure whether I can do it and would prefer to ask before admin's ban hammer fall on me

It is allowed and accepted, but most members will be extremely worried about dealing with a newbie. You would be better off giving away a few "vouch copies" of your service/good to trusted members for in-depth reviews. That way you can get the ball rolling in the right direction.

Great tip! Appreciate it! Yeah its a new place to me I need to know the rules before start playing 💪

Thank you. I will have a look at the rules, if it comes to payments I feel comfortable with accepting credit-cards/paypal directly on a secured site or BTC.

You won't get many people here who want to use credit cards or paypal, they all use Bitcoin (after all, this is the Bitcoin Forum). Say that you accept Bitcoin (first) and then say that you also accept credit cards/paypal if the buyer wants it. Also, always use escrow. This protects you so that you get paid for doing work, and the buyer so that he gets what he paid for. If you say that you don't accept escrow, then you will likely get neg repped and called a scammer.

1) +respect for attempting to determine if something is against the rules prior to taking to action in order to ensure that you conform with the forum rules

2) as mentioned above many times, there are no restrictions as to where you can post that relate to your rank (you are not allowed to post in "important announcements" unless you are a VIP, global moderator, or admin, however your account will not allow you to post if you do not meet this criteria).

You should be aware however that there are a large number of scammers who create newbie accounts in order to attempt to scam, so any newbie account posting in marketplace sections will be met with an elevated amount of skepticism.

Thank you. Appreciate your insights and tips, will take it into the account

After reading these rules make sure that you think before acting.

You might get negative trust if you do something wrong (i.e. break unwritten rules). As long as the service is legit, and/or you are willing to use escrow and you do not ask for a loan (anywhere) you should be good (that's just the major ones). If you have any other questions feel free to contact me directly. Good luck with your service.

Seeing his Personal message I'd guess he is doing some website designing. Good info though, should be kept in mind by every newbie.

You were close

I help companies with growth - so landing page optimisation, UI/UX tweaks to the flow. I was working with e-commerce stores to boost up the sales, with SAAS platforms and so on.
