Sharing your favorite finds on ACBuy is a fantastic way to help the community discover reliable sellers and great products. However, sharing links directly can sometimes risk exposing your personal account information. This guide will walk you through generating non-expiring, safe links and sharing them responsibly.
Step 1: Generate a Safe, Non-Expiring Link
Never share the URL directly from your browser's address bar, as it may contain private session or referral data.
- Navigate to the product page on ACBuy
- Look for the official "Share"
- Click it and select the option to "Copy Permanent Link""Generate Shareable Link."
- If no official button exists, copy the core product page URL (e.g.,
acbuy.com/product/12345), removing any extra parameters after the question mark (?). - Look for the official "Share"
⚠️ Critical: Scrub Your Links!
Before pasting that link anywhere, always double-check. A safe link should look simple and generic.
UNSAFE Example (DO NOT SHARE):
https://www.acbuy.com/product/abc123?ref=yourUsername&sessionid=private123&source=history
SAFE Example (OK TO SHARE):
https://www.acbuy.com/product/abc123
Remove ALL?ref=, &uid=, etc.). These often contain your private referral codes or tracking IDs.
Step 2: Share Anonymously on Reddit
Reddit values anonymity and considers direct links to commercial sites carefully.
- Use the clean link you generated in Step 1.
- Provide context
- Follow subreddit rules: Some communities (like r/yourhobbysubreddit) require such links to be posted only in specific threads or with a disclaimer. Always check!
- Consider using a text post instead of a direct link post, embedding the ACBuy link within your detailed review text.
Step 3: Share Securely on Discord
Discord servers are community-specific, but precautions are still essential.
- Post the clean link in the appropriate channel#finds, #recommendations).
- Add a brief description. A simple "Found this seller for [product], good experience" is helpful.
- Never share
- If you're a server moderator, consider creating a bot or a dedicated webhook that formats and posts links safely for users.
Best Practices for Safe Sharing
Stay Anonymous
Never share links that include your username, user ID, or any generated affiliate code that is tied to your account. Assume any extra text in the URL is private.
Use a Middleman
For an extra layer of safety, you can use a trusted, neutral URL shortener. However, ensure it's a reputable service (some subreddits may ban shortened links).
Focus on the Info
The most valuable part of your share is your experience. Details about seller communication, product accuracy, and shipping time are often more helpful than the link itself.
Report Suspicious Links
If you see someone posting links that look like they contain personal referral spam or lead to scam sites, report them to the subreddit/Discord moderators.
