Back to Sell Your Collection

Seller Agreement

Version 1 · effective August 11, 2026

This is a plain-English agreement — you'll be asked to read and accept it before any offer for your collection becomes binding.

Seller Agreement — EC Cards and Collectables Buylist

_Version 1 — effective upon acceptance._

1. The arrangement

You ("the Seller") are offering to sell trading cards and sealed product ("the Collection") to E&C Cards and Collectables ("we", "us"). Our instant offer is calculated from the contents you declare — bulk category counts or a spreadsheet you upload. The offer is conditional: final payment depends on our physical inspection of what actually arrives.

2. Offer validity

Offers expire on the date shown on your offer screen (normally 7 days from issue). An expired offer cannot be accepted; you may submit again at current rates.

3. Shipping

  • You pay for the shipping label, purchased through our site at the carrier rate for your chosen service, package weight, and destination.
  • Pack cards securely: bundled bulk, sleeved-and-toploaded singles, slabs wrapped, sealed product boxed with padding. We are not responsible for damage caused by inadequate packaging.
  • Risk of loss in transit rests with you until the package is delivered to us. For high-value shipments we offer carrier insurance at label purchase; declining it is your choice and your risk.

4. Inspection and adjustment

  • After delivery we inspect the Collection against your declared contents.
  • We may adjust the offer if items are missing, misdescribed, misgraded, damaged, not authentic, or otherwise materially different from what was declared.
  • If we adjust, you will receive an itemized inspection report explaining every change, with photos where relevant. You then have two options, to be chosen within the response window shown in the report (normally 7 days):
  1. Accept the adjusted amount — funds are released to your account; or
  2. Request your items back — we return the Collection to you, with return shipping at your cost, and no payment is made.
  • If you do not respond within the response window, the adjusted amount is deemed accepted and funds are released.

5. Payment

  • When your shipment receives its first carrier scan, the offer amount is issued to your on-site account as held funds — visible, but not spendable or withdrawable.
  • When inspection is approved, the held funds are released to your withdrawable balance. Withdrawals are transferred to your bank via Stripe Connect; you must complete Stripe Connect onboarding to withdraw.
  • Title to the Collection passes to us when the inspection is approved and funds are released.

6. Your protections

  • Any adjustment comes with an itemized inspection report and photos.
  • You may dispute an adjustment within the response window by replying to the adjustment notice.
  • You may always elect return of your items instead of an adjusted payment (return shipping at your cost), unless the items are counterfeit or we are legally required to retain them.

7. Our protections

  • We may void an offer, reject a shipment, or withhold payment where we reasonably believe items are counterfeit, stolen, materially misdescribed, or submitted fraudulently.
  • Counterfeit or stolen goods may be retained and reported to law enforcement where the law requires or permits.
  • We may close the account of any seller who submits fraudulent collections.

8. General

  • You represent that you own the Collection outright and have the right to sell it.
  • This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, USA.
