Marketplace Policies

Simple rules for buying and selling.

Everything you need to know about listing, buying, selling, and completing transactions on SlabGeek.

Last updated: September 18, 2026

Draft

Marketplace policies are being finalized for launch and are subject to change.

1. Cards Allowed on SlabGeek

SlabGeek is currently focused on PSA-graded Pokémon cards. Listings must represent an actual PSA-graded Pokémon card owned by the seller.

The PSA certification number entered for a listing must correspond to the card being sold. Listings that are inaccurate, misleading, fraudulent, duplicated, or otherwise violate these marketplace policies may be removed.

2. Listing Your Card

Listing a card follows a few simple steps:

  • Enter your PSA certification number
  • Confirm the identified card
  • Add photos of the actual slab
  • Set your asking price
  • List the card

Sellers are responsible for making sure their listing accurately represents the exact physical slab being offered for sale. Sellers should not list cards they do not possess.

3. Listing Photos

Sellers should upload clear photos of the actual slab being sold. Listings are required to include:

  • A photo of the front of the slab
  • A photo of the back of the slab

Photos should clearly show both the card and the PSA holder. Stock photos or images of a different slab should not be used to represent the exact card being sold.

4. Pricing & SlabScore

Sellers control their asking price.

SlabGeek may display information such as the SlabGeek Est. Value, SlabScore, recent sales, historical prices, and other market information alongside a listing.

These are informational tools and estimates. They do not guarantee that a card will sell for any particular amount. SlabScore is intended to help users understand how an asking price compares with available market data — it is not investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell.

5. Making Offers

Buyers may make offers on eligible listings. Sellers may accept, decline, or counter an offer.

Offers may expire after a period of time. The final offer expiration period has not yet been finalized.

[Draft — final rules to be confirmed before launch.]

6. Accepting an Offer

Once an offer is accepted, the buyer and seller are expected to complete the transaction through SlabGeek's checkout and payment flow.

Rules covering transactions that are not completed have not been finalized.

7. Buy Now

Eligible listings can be purchased immediately at the seller's asking price using Buy Now.

Once payment is successfully completed, the listing is no longer available to other buyers.

8. Marketplace Fees

SlabGeek marketplace fees for sellers:

0% seller marketplace fees

SlabGeek does not currently charge sellers a marketplace fee.

Applicable payment processing, shipping, taxes, or other transaction-related costs may still apply. Any such costs are shown before completing a transaction.

9. Payment

Purchases must be completed through SlabGeek's approved checkout and payment process. Buyers and sellers should not attempt to complete transactions outside of that process.

Details covering payout timing, payment holds, and related payment-processing terms have not been finalized.

[Draft — final rules to be confirmed before launch.]

10. Shipping

Sellers are responsible for:

  • Packaging the slab carefully
  • Following the shipping instructions associated with the sale
  • Providing and using valid tracking when required
  • Shipping the exact slab that was purchased

Specific carrier requirements, insurance coverage, and shipping deadlines have not been finalized.

11. Cancellations

Cancellation options may depend on the status of a transaction — for example, whether an order has been paid, prepared for shipment, or already shipped.

Final cancellation rules, including any windows, fees, or penalties, are being finalized and will be published here before launch.

12. Returns & Refunds

SlabGeek will publish clear rules covering situations such as:

  • An incorrect card received
  • A card materially different from its listing
  • A damaged shipment
  • A lost shipment
  • A suspected counterfeit or altered slab

These rules have not been finalized. No blanket return policy applies at this time, and nothing in this section promises that every claim results in a refund.
