Frequently Asked Questions
What cards can I consign?
We accept PSA graded Pokémon cards only. The card must be in a genuine PSA slab. We verify every card on intake.
How much does it cost to sell?
Auction listings are free. We charge a 5% platform fee on the sale price (minimum $10), deducted when your card sells. Storage-only cards cost $20 per card upfront.
How long do auctions run?
All auctions end every Wednesday at 8:00 PM NZT, with a minimum run of 7 days. Snipe protection extends the auction by 5 minutes if a bid is placed in the last 2 minutes.
What is Buy Now?
Sellers set a Buy Now price alongside the auction. If a buyer clicks Buy Now, the auction ends immediately and they get the card.
How does the vault work?
When you win an auction or Buy Now, the card goes to your virtual vault. You pay for the card first (5 day deadline), then request shipping whenever you're ready. You can also list items for resale directly from your vault.
How do I get my money?
Your balance is credited as soon as a buyer pays. Cash out your full balance anytime to your NZ bank account. Transfers are processed within 1-2 business days.
What if my card doesn't sell?
If the auction ends with no bids or Buy Now, the card returns to your account. You can relist it or request return shipping.
What happens if a buyer doesn't pay?
Buyers have 5 business days to pay. If they don't, they receive a strike (3 strikes = ban) and the card returns to your account for relisting.
Can I get my cards back without selling?
Yes. You can request return shipping for any card that's not in an active auction. Same shipping rates apply ($10 for up to 2 items, +$5 each additional).
