Consignment terms.

1. Your cards stay yours.

You keep ownership the whole time. We list, sell and ship on your behalf and take a share of what each card sells for, so we never own the card and it is yours right up until a buyer pays for it.

2. What you are paid.

Your share is worked out on the actual sale price rather than on an estimate or a catalogue figure, and it rises with what the card sells for. The exact split for your cards is the one in the offer we send you, and that offer is what these terms attach to, so there is always a written number before anything is posted to us.

A single card is $1.99 to list and that is charged whether the card sells or not. A bulk lot is $2.99 for the lot rather than a fee on every card in it, and lots run 10 to 15 cards and are built by us.

3. When you are paid.

within 3 business days of eBay releasing the funds to us.

The clock starts when the money reaches us rather than when the card sells, because eBay holds funds on a sale until delivery to the buyer is confirmed. On an account without much recent selling history that hold has run to around 14 days from the sale, and eBay estimates the release date rather than us choosing it. So the honest end to end picture is roughly two and a half weeks from a card selling, and the part we control is the three days at the end.

4. Getting the cards to us, and who carries the risk.

You cover postage in and carry the risk until the parcel arrives. Use tracking, and insure anything over $100. The reason is plain rather than legal, which is that we cannot insure, prove the condition of, or chase a parcel we never saw leave.

The moment the cards arrive the risk is ours, and in exchange we owe you a fast and specific receipt, so we send you a list of what arrived within 2 business days.

Not settled yet

Four things we have not written down.

These come up rarely and they matter when they do, so we would rather name them than quietly leave them out. If any of them applies to you, ask and we will work it out with you directly, and each will appear here as a written rule rather than a case by case conversation.

• How long an unsold card is held before it is repriced, rolled into a lot or sent back.
• Getting a card back before it sells, meaning whether the listing fee stands and who pays return postage.
• Whether you can set a floor price rather than taking the price we work out.
• What happens if a card is lost or damaged after it reaches us, meaning what our carrying the risk is worth in money.
