You both ship to us instead of to each other. We check that everything matches what was promised, then send each side what they're owed. No “did they actually send it?” No getting burned.
The risk in any online deal is simple: someone ships and the other person doesn't.
We remove it by sitting in the middle — nobody's cards (or money) move until we've verified both sides delivered.
Set up the deal
Start a trade or a sale, list what you’re putting in (cards or payment), and invite the other person by email. They get a link to join and add their side.
Both sides confirm
Everyone reviews the full deal — both parties’ items, values, and terms — and confirms. A shared chat opens so you can sort out details with us in the loop.
Pay the fee
Each party pays a small fee ($5 + 5% of their side’s value). Sellers can have it deducted from their payout instead.
Ship to us — not to each other
Both parties send their cards to us with tracking. In a sale, the buyer sends payment to us.
We verify everything
We check each item against its description — condition, grade, the works. Nothing moves until both sides check out. This is the part that protects you.
We forward each side what they’re owed
Cards go out to each recipient with tracking; in a sale, the seller gets paid. Done — safely.
Trade
Cards for cards
Both sides send cards. We verify both, then forward each person what they're trading for.
Sale
Cards for money
The buyer sends payment, the seller sends cards. We verify, pay the seller, and forward the cards to the buyer.
Either way, the protection is the same: nothing is released until both sides have delivered and checked out.
$5 + 5% of value, per party
In a trade, both parties pay based on the value of the cards they're sending. In a sale, the seller pays based on their cards' value and the buyer pays based on the purchase amount.

Sellers can have the fee deducted from their payout instead of paying up front. In a sale, the seller also covers insured shipping to the buyer.
Why ship to you instead of straight to each other?
That’s the whole point. If you ship to each other, one of you is trusting the other to follow through. Shipping to us means neither side is exposed — we don’t release anything until both sides have delivered and checked out.
What if the cards don’t match what was promised?
We verify every item before anything moves. If something’s off, we flag it — and either party can raise a dispute, which we step in and resolve.
Trade or sale — what’s the difference?
A trade is cards-for-cards. A sale is cards-for-money. The protection works the same way either way.
How does the invite work?
You enter the other person’s email and they get a link to join the deal. The link is good for 7 days.
When does the seller get paid (in a sale)?
After the buyer’s payment reaches us and the items are verified, we send the seller their payout (the sale amount minus their fee and shipping).
What if something goes wrong mid-deal?
Raise a dispute from the transaction page. We review both sides — photos, the chat, the item records — and resolve it.
Set up a trade or sale and invite the other party — we'll handle the rest.
