Bidding
When do auctions end?
Most cards close on Friday night (Adelaide time), a minute apart. Every auction page shows its exact end time in your own time zone and a live countdown.
What happens if someone bids at the last second?
A bid in the final 2 minutes adds 2 minutes to that auction, every time. Nobody can snipe, and everyone gets a fair final say.
Can I cancel a bid?
No. Every bid is a binding commitment to buy if you win, so please bid carefully. You'll always see a confirmation step with the amount and shipping before your bid is placed.
What's a reserve?
Some cards have a hidden minimum price. The auction page shows “Reserve not met” until bidding passes it. If it's never met, the card isn't sold and nobody is charged.
How much do I need to bid?
At least the current bid plus the increment shown on the page. Increments grow with the price (for example $1 under $20, $2 up to $100).
Why do I need to save a card before bidding?
So winners can be charged automatically and cards ship quickly. It also keeps bidding honest: every bidder can actually pay. Your card is stored by Stripe, not by us.
How will I know if I'm outbid?
We email you straight away and show it under the bell icon. The auction page updates in real time.
Payment
When am I charged?
Shortly after your last auction in a close ends, everything you won is combined into one order with one shipping charge, and your saved card is charged. You'll get a receipt by email.
What currency am I charged in?
Each auction's own currency (usually Australian dollars), shown on the auction page. Prices in other currencies are estimates. Your bank does the final conversion.
My payment needs verification or failed. What now?
We'll email you a secure link to confirm or retry with another card. You can also pay from your order page in My Account.
Which payment methods do you accept?
Visa, Mastercard and American Express, plus Apple Pay and Google Pay where your device supports them.
Shipping
How much is shipping?
It depends on your country and what you win, and it's shown before you bid. Multiple wins from the same close ship together at a combined rate. See the Shipping Policy.
When will my card ship?
Within 3 business days of payment, well packed and tracked. We email you the tracking number.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. Import duties and taxes in your country are your responsibility.
Cards & authenticity
Are the cards genuine?
Every card is inspected in hand before listing and photographed front and back. If a card isn't authentic or isn't as described, you're covered by our Refund Policy.
How do you grade condition for raw cards?
Condition is our honest opinion from hands-on inspection, with notes on any flaws. Always check the photos. For an official grade, look for PSA, CGC, BGS, TAG or ACE slabs.
Can I return a card?
Sales are final unless the card isn't as described, isn't authentic or was damaged in transit. Contact us within 7 days of delivery. We review every claim and issue a refund once it's approved.
Account
I didn't get my verification email.
Check your spam folder, then use “Resend verification email” in My Account.
Is my name shown to other bidders?
No. Bid histories show an anonymous alias. Your name and address are only used to ship your cards.
How do I change my address or card?
In My Account. Address changes apply to orders created after the change.
