Every transaction is structured to protect the buyer, the seller, and the platform. Here's exactly how money moves and what happens if something goes wrong.
Before sealing, record yourself packing from start to finish. Show item condition, how it's packed, and the sealed box — one continuous take.
Every shipment must use a tracked service. Enter your tracking number in the dashboard within 24hrs of drop-off.
Photos must show the actual item being sold. Condition must be accurately described. Damage must be disclosed up front.
When your package arrives, record yourself opening it from start to finish. Show the sealed package, the opening process, and the item condition — one continuous take with no cuts.
Once sale confirmed and address received, you have 3 business days to ship and upload tracking. Contact support early if you have an emergency — silence is not protected.
Follow this guide on every shipment. It protects the buyer, it protects you, and it's your evidence in any dispute.
Shipping is paid by the buyer at checkout. When you create a listing, set a shipping price that covers your actual postage cost — or offer free shipping and absorb it into your item price. Use the table below as a reference for typical rates across carriers and regions.
Rates shown are approximate guidelines. Actual postage is calculated automatically via Shippo at the time of label generation based on package weight, dimensions, and destination.

Last updated: April 20, 2026 · Governed by the laws of Ontario, Canada
Diecast Markets ("the Platform", "we", "us") is operated by COLLECTORMARKETS, a sole proprietorship registered in Ontario, Canada under the Ontario Business Registry. By accessing or using diecastmarkets.com, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.
You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account or complete a transaction on this Platform. By using the Platform you represent that you are 18 or older and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract under Ontario law.
Diecast Markets is a marketplace that connects independent buyers and sellers of diecast collectibles. We are not a party to any transaction between buyers and sellers. We do not own, inspect, or guarantee any items listed. All sales are between the buyer and the seller directly. We act solely as a payment escrow and dispute resolution intermediary.
The Platform charges a 12% fee on the final sale price of every completed transaction. This fee is deducted from the seller's payout. There are no listing fees. Payment processing fees (Stripe) are separate and deducted before the 88/12 split. The Platform fee is non-refundable once a transaction is completed.
To qualify for full buyer dispute protection, you must record an unboxing video of your package arrival. The video must: (a) show the sealed package from the outside before opening, (b) capture the entire opening process in one continuous take with no cuts or edits, (c) clearly display the condition of the item immediately upon removal, and (d) be recorded within 24 hours of delivery. Disputes filed without an unboxing video may be denied, particularly for "damaged" or "not as described" claims. This requirement protects both buyers and sellers from fraudulent claims and ensures evidence-based dispute resolution.
All buyer payments are held in escrow via Stripe. Funds are released to the seller automatically 72 hours after confirmed delivery, provided no dispute has been opened. The Platform reserves the right to withhold funds during an active dispute investigation. Payouts are made via the seller's chosen method on file.
The following are strictly prohibited on the Platform: counterfeit or replica items sold as authentic; items that infringe intellectual property rights; off-platform payment solicitation; harassment or abuse of other users; false or misleading listings; circumventing the escrow system. Violations may result in immediate account termination and forfeiture of pending payouts.
Buyers may cancel an order only before the seller generates a shipping label. Once a label is generated, cancellations are not permitted except through the dispute process. Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method within 5–10 business days. Note: payment processing fees paid to Stripe are non-recoverable and will be deducted from refunded amounts. The Platform is not liable for Stripe processing fees on cancelled orders.
Disputes must be filed within 72 hours of confirmed delivery. The Platform will review tracking information, packing video evidence, and communications to make a determination. The Platform's decision is final. Users agree to cooperate fully with any dispute investigation. Fraudulent dispute claims may result in account suspension and legal action.
To the maximum extent permitted by Ontario law, COLLECTORMARKETS and Diecast Markets shall not be liable for: any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages; loss of profits or revenue; items lost or damaged in transit; actions or omissions of third-party carriers, payment processors, or users. Our total liability to any user for any claim arising from use of the Platform shall not exceed the Platform fees paid by that user in the 30 days preceding the claim.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ontario. Users outside Canada consent to this jurisdiction for all platform-related disputes.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the Platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. For material changes, we will notify registered users by email.

Last updated: April 20, 2026 · By creating a seller account you agree to these terms
You must be 18 years of age or older to sell on the Platform. By registering as a seller you represent that you have full legal right to sell the items you list, that all items are your own property or you are authorized to sell them, and that you will comply with all applicable Canadian and Ontario laws including consumer protection legislation.
All listings must be accurate and not misleading. You must: accurately describe the item's condition (Mint, Near Mint, Very Good, Good, Loose); disclose all known defects, damage, or card imperfections; use your own photos that genuinely represent the item being sold; set a fair and legal price. Listings for counterfeit, stolen, or misrepresented items are strictly prohibited and will result in immediate account termination and referral to authorities.
Before sealing every shipment, you are required to record a continuous, unedited packing video showing: (a) the item's condition before packing; (b) the item being wrapped and placed in the shipping box; (c) the box being sealed. This video is your sole protection against "not as described" or "damaged in transit" buyer claims. Sellers who cannot produce a packing video will have disputes decided in the buyer's favour by default. The video must be retained for a minimum of 30 days after shipment.
Upon a confirmed sale, you must: ship the item within 4 business days; use a tracked shipping service (Canada Post, USPS, UPS, FedEx, or equivalent); enter the tracking number into the Platform within 24 hours of shipment. Failure to ship within 4 business days without communication to the buyer constitutes a seller cancellation and will count against your seller standing. Repeated shipping delays may result in account suspension.
You agree to pay a 12% platform fee on every completed sale. Your payout of 88% of the sale price (less payment processing fees) will be released automatically 72 hours after the carrier confirms delivery, provided no dispute is open. You are responsible for reporting payout income on your Canadian personal income tax return. The Platform does not withhold taxes on your behalf.
Soliciting buyers to complete transactions outside the Platform — through any channel including messaging, listing descriptions, or external communication — is strictly prohibited. This includes sharing phone numbers, email addresses, social media handles, or external payment links (PayPal.me, Venmo, e-Transfer, etc.) for the purpose of avoiding Platform fees. Violations result in permanent account termination and forfeiture of all pending payouts.
Seller-initiated cancellations (failing to ship after a confirmed sale) are recorded on your seller account. Three or more cancellations within a 12-month period will result in account suspension. Each seller cancellation triggers a full refund to the buyer. Because payment processors (Stripe/PayPal) do not return their processing fees on refunds, a CA$3.00 flat cancellation fee will be deducted from your next payout to recover this cost. This fee applies to every seller-initiated cancellation.
In the event of a buyer dispute, you must respond within 48 hours and provide all requested evidence including your packing video, shipping receipts, and carrier tracking information. Failure to respond to a dispute within 48 hours will result in the dispute being decided in the buyer's favour by default.
The Platform reserves the right to immediately suspend or terminate any seller account for: fraud or misrepresentation; repeated policy violations; chargebacks or payment disputes initiated fraudulently; abusive conduct toward buyers or Platform staff. In cases of fraud, pending payouts may be withheld pending investigation and may be forfeited entirely if fraud is confirmed. The Platform may pursue legal remedies under Ontario law for damages caused by fraudulent sellers.
Sellers are solely responsible for all tax obligations arising from their sales activity on the Platform, including income tax and HST (if applicable). The Platform does not provide tax advice. Once your total annual sales revenue exceeds CA$30,000 you may be required to register for and collect HST under the Excise Tax Act (Canada). Consult a qualified Canadian tax professional.
This Seller Agreement is governed by the laws of Ontario, Canada. Disputes between sellers and the Platform shall be resolved in the courts of Ontario.
Last updated: April 20, 2026 · By completing a purchase you agree to these terms
When you complete checkout, your payment is immediately collected and held in escrow via Stripe. You will receive an order confirmation by email. By submitting payment you are entering into a binding purchase agreement with the seller. The Platform facilitates this transaction but is not the seller.
Your shipping address is locked and confirmed at the time of checkout. The seller ships to exactly the address you provide. The Platform is not responsible for non-delivery or misdelivery resulting from an incorrect address entered at checkout. Address changes after checkout are not permitted once the seller has generated a shipping label. If you need to change your address before a label is generated, contact support@diecastmarkets.com immediately with your order number.
Your payment is protected by escrow. Funds are not released to the seller until: (a) the carrier confirms delivery to your address; and (b) the 72-hour buyer protection window closes without an open dispute. You are protected against: items significantly not as described; items that never arrive (confirmed by carrier). You are not protected against: buyer's remorse or change of mind after shipment; incorrect address entered at checkout; items damaged due to known pre-existing condition accurately disclosed in the listing.
Automatic refund if seller does not confirm: If the seller does not confirm your order within 3 business days, your payment will be automatically refunded in full — no action required from you. You may also cancel your order manually within 15 minutes of seller confirmation AND before the seller generates a shipping label — whichever comes first. Once either condition is met, the sale is final and cancellations are not permitted. To cancel within the window, go to My Purchases and click Cancel Order. Once a label is generated, the sale is immediately and permanently final regardless of time elapsed. You must use the dispute process after delivery if there is an issue. Approved cancellations are refunded within 5–10 business days. Note: payment processing fees are non-refundable and will be deducted from your refund.
If your item arrives significantly not as described, or does not arrive, you must file a dispute within 72 hours of the carrier-confirmed delivery date. Disputes filed after 72 hours will not be accepted — funds will have been released to the seller. To file a dispute: log into your account, go to My Purchases, and click "File Dispute." Provide photos and a written description of the issue. The Platform will review all evidence including the seller's packing video and make a binding decision within 3 business days.
The following buyer conduct is strictly prohibited and may result in account termination and legal action: filing fraudulent or bad-faith disputes; initiating chargebacks through your bank or credit card company while a Platform dispute is open (chargeback abuse); soliciting sellers to transact off-platform; harassing or threatening sellers or Platform staff.
If you initiate a chargeback with your bank or credit card issuer while a Platform dispute is open or after a dispute has been resolved in the seller's favour, the Platform reserves the right to: permanently ban your account; pursue recovery of chargeback costs; report the incident to relevant consumer fraud authorities. All chargeback disputes will be contested by the Platform using transaction records, tracking data, and communication logs.
The Platform's determination in any dispute is final and binding. By using the Platform, you agree to accept the Platform's dispute resolution decisions as the exclusive remedy for transaction-related disputes, to the fullest extent permitted by Ontario consumer protection law.
Nothing in this Agreement limits your rights under the Ontario Consumer Protection Act, 2002 or other applicable Canadian consumer protection legislation. If you are a consumer in Ontario, you retain all statutory rights provided by applicable law notwithstanding any term of this Agreement.
