3-way protection system

BUILT SO
NOBODY GETS BURNED

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.

The Payment Flow — Step by Step
🛒
Buyer Pays
Stripe or PayPal. Funds held immediately.
🔐
Escrow Hold
We hold funds. Seller gets shipping address.
📦
Seller Ships
Tracked + packing video required.
✅
Delivery Confirmed
Carrier tracking shows delivered.
⏳
3-Day Window
Buyer has 72hrs to raise a dispute.
💸
Payout Split
90% goes to the seller automatically.
90% → Seller
🛒
Buyer Protection
  • Funds held in escrow — seller can't be paid until you receive the item
  • 72-hour dispute window after delivery confirmed
  • Every shipment requires tracking — delivery is verifiable
  • Seller must provide packing video — proves condition at shipment
  • Full refund if item never arrives and tracking confirms non-delivery
📋
Seller Protection
  • Payment collected before you ship — never ship without confirmed payment
  • Packing video protects against false "not as described" claims
  • Tracking proof = your proof of shipment. No tracking = no protection.
  • After 3 days with no dispute, payout is automatic
  • Fraudulent buyer claims reviewed with tracking + video evidence
🎥
Packing Video — Required

Before sealing, record yourself packing from start to finish. Show item condition, how it's packed, and the sealed box — one continuous take.

No video = no seller dispute protection. This is the most important rule on the platform.
📬
Tracked Shipping — Required

Every shipment must use a tracked service. Enter your tracking number in the dashboard within 24hrs of drop-off.

Sellers who ship without tracking waive all dispute protection. No exceptions.
📸
Accurate Photos — Required

Photos must show the actual item being sold. Condition must be accurately described. Damage must be disclosed up front.

Misrepresenting condition = immediate account suspension + seller absorbs full refund.
⏱️
Ship Within 3 Business Days

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.

Only list items you can ship within 3 days. Don't list what you can't access quickly.

PACK IT RIGHT.
SHIP IT SAFE.

Follow this guide on every shipment. It protects the buyer, it protects you, and it's your evidence in any dispute.

Does the buyer care about condition?

⭐
Yes — Collector Grade
Card condition matters. Blister must arrive pristine. Common for RLCs, Supers, carded premiums.
🏎️
No — Player Grade / Loose
Buyer wants the car. Loose cars, played-with condition, or buyer said condition doesn't matter.
⭐
Collector Grade PackingGoal: zero card contact with anything hard, zero moisture, zero movement inside the box. Follow every step.
1
Record your packing video — before anything else
Open your camera and start recording. Show the car's condition — front and back of card, any existing marks. Keep it rolling throughout. One continuous take, no cuts.
💡 TipProp your phone against something so both hands are free. The video must be uninterrupted.
2
Wrap the blister (plastic bubble) in painter's tape
Wrap the entire plastic blister — the dome part that holds the car — in blue painter's tape. Layer until fully covered. The tape is low-tack so it won't damage the blister, but it creates a protective shell against cracks and scuffs.
🔵

📦

✅
Full coverage
💡 Why painter's tape?Regular tape leaves residue. Packing tape cracks plastic. Painter's tape is the collector-safe standard.
⚠️ Don't skip thisThe blister is the most vulnerable part. One knock without protection = permanent crack.
3
Wrap the card in tissue paper or printer paper
Place the card face-down on white tissue or printer paper. Fold snugly around it like a gift wrap. This prevents the card face from rubbing against bubble wrap and getting micro-scratches.
💡 What to useWhite tissue paper or plain printer paper only. Never newspaper — ink transfers.
4
Wrap in two full layers of bubble wrap
Wrap the paper-sleeved card in bubble wrap — at least two layers. Bubbles facing inward. Tape closed so it can't unwrap. Make sure no card edges are exposed.

Protected
5
Choose the right rigid box
Use a cardboard box slightly larger than the wrapped car — 1 inch of padding space on all sides minimum. Canada Post Small Box or USPS Priority flat-rate boxes work perfectly for single cards.
⚠️ Never use padded envelopes for carded cars.No rigid structure — one knee from a postal worker and your card corners are bent. Box only for collector grade.
6
Fill every gap — pass the shake test
Place wrapped car in center. Fill all gaps with crumpled kraft paper or packing peanuts. Seal the box and shake it firmly. If anything moves, add more fill.
💡 The shake testIf you can hear or feel anything shifting — it's not packed right. Keep adding fill.
7
Seal all seams + FRAGILE labels on 2 sides
Tape every seam — top, bottom, all edges. Run two strips across the top. Add FRAGILE labels on at least two sides. Also place a copy of the address label inside the box in case the outside label is destroyed.
8
Back up your video + get tracking
Back up the packing video to cloud storage immediately. Get a receipt with tracking number at the post office. Enter the tracking number in your seller dashboard within 24hrs. Your protection starts here.
🏎️
Player Grade / Loose Car PackingGoal: prevent scratches and rattling in transit. Lighter packing — but tracking and packing video are still required.
1
Record your packing video — still required
Even for loose cars — record yourself packing. Show the car's condition and any existing wear, then pack on camera. Protects you from "not as described" claims.
2
Wrap each car individually in bubble wrap or tissue
Single layer of bubble wrap or tissue around each car. Tape closed. For multiple cars, wrap each one separately so they can't scratch each other in transit.
💡 Multiple carsEach car separate — even if buyer ordered 20. Cars clinking = scratched paint = dispute.
3
Padded mailer or small box depending on quantity
1–5 loose cars: padded bubble mailer works fine — cheaper to ship. 6+ cars: use a small rigid box with fill material so nothing shifts.

4
Seal, label, and always use tracked shipping
Tape it shut, label clearly, always choose a tracked service. Even a $3 loose car needs tracking. If it gets lost without tracking, you are fully unprotected in any dispute.
⚠️ No tracking = no seller protection. Mandatory on every single shipment.

Dispute resolution

WHEN THINGS
GO WRONG

Every scenario is covered. Here's exactly what happens in each situation and what you need to do.

📦
Scenario 1 — Item arrived damaged
The seller packed it correctly but the carrier damaged it in transit.
Seller — what to do
  • 1.Locate your packing video — this is your proof the item left in perfect condition.
  • 2.File a damage claim with your carrier (Canada Post, USPS, etc.) online or at the post office. Keep your receipt — it has the tracking number and declared value.
  • 3.Ask the buyer to photograph the damaged packaging and item — you'll need this for the carrier claim.
  • 4.Submit the dispute through your dashboard with your packing video and carrier claim reference number.
Buyer — what to do
  • 1.Photograph the damaged box and item immediately — before moving or unpacking further.
  • 2.File a dispute through the platform within 3 days of delivery. Select "Damaged in transit."
  • 3.Share your damage photos via the dispute form. Keep the original packaging — the carrier may need to inspect it.
  • 4.Your escrow payment is held until the carrier claim is resolved. You will be refunded once the claim pays out.
Outcome: Seller receives carrier insurance payout. Buyer receives full refund from escrow. Neither party loses money — this is why insured tracked shipping is mandatory.
⚠️
Scenario 2 — Item not as described
The item arrived but condition doesn't match the listing.
Seller — what to do
  • 1.Locate your packing video immediately. This is your primary evidence.
  • 2.Respond to the dispute within 48 hours through your dashboard.
  • 3.If your video clearly shows the item matching the listing, the dispute will be dismissed in your favour.
Buyer — what to do
  • 1.File a dispute within 3 days of delivery. Select "Not as described."
  • 2.Upload clear photos of the item next to the listing description showing the discrepancy.
  • 3.Do not open, damage, or alter the item further — it may need to be returned.
Outcome: Packing video reviewed against listing photos. If seller misrepresented — buyer refunded, seller account flagged. If item matched listing — dispute dismissed, seller paid in full. Repeat misrepresentation = permanent ban.
📭
Scenario 3 — Item never arrived
Tracking shows delivered but buyer says they never received it — or tracking shows it's lost.
First — verify the shipping address
At checkout, buyers confirm and lock in their shipping address. The seller ships to exactly that address. If tracking shows delivered to the confirmed address and the buyer claims non-receipt, this is a porch theft situation — not a seller error.
Seller — what to do
  • ✓If tracking shows delivered to confirmed address — you are protected. Submit tracking proof through your dashboard.
  • ✓If tracking shows lost or undelivered — file a missing parcel claim with your carrier immediately.
  • ✓Always keep your drop-off receipt — it proves you shipped.
Buyer — what to do
  • 1.Check with neighbours, building management, or your mailroom first.
  • 2.If tracking shows delivered but you genuinely didn't receive it — file a police report for porch theft. This is required for any insurance claim.
  • 3.If tracking shows the parcel is lost in transit — file a dispute within 3 days. Escrow is held until the carrier investigation is complete.
  • 4.If you provided a wrong address at checkout — this is not covered. Always confirm your address carefully.
Outcome: Tracking delivered + confirmed address = seller paid, buyer handles police report. Tracking lost in transit = carrier claim filed, buyer refunded from escrow when claim resolves. Wrong address provided by buyer = not covered by buyer protection.
🎥
The Packing Video — Your Most Important Protection

Before you seal any package, record yourself packing the item on your phone. Show the car's condition, how you wrap it, placing it in the box, and sealing it — one continuous take, no cuts. This video is your legal evidence in every dispute scenario above.

Damaged claim
Proves item left in perfect condition. Carrier pays, not you.
Not as described
Shows item matched listing at time of shipment. Dispute dismissed.
Never arrived
Combined with drop-off receipt, proves you shipped. You're protected.
No packing video = no seller protection. If a dispute is filed and you have no video, you cannot prove the item's condition at time of shipment. The dispute will be resolved in the buyer's favour by default.
