Marketplace & Community Guidelines
Last updated: September 19, 2026
Purpose
These Guidelines explain how to list, buy, and interact on Dabs Collectibles. They supplement our Terms of Service. Violations may result in listing removal, escrow holds, or account suspension.
Listing standards
- Real inventory only. List only physical cards, slabs, or sealed product you currently own and can ship.
- Accurate identity. Match catalog references when available; disclose set, number, language, and edition when relevant.
- Honest condition. For raw cards, describe wear, creases, and centering. For slabs, show front and back photos; do not misstate grader or grade.
- Your photos. Use clear, well-lit images of the actual item. Catalog art may supplement but must not replace photos of the copy for sale when the product requires seller photos.
- Fair pricing. No bait-and-switch, hidden fees, or off-platform payment requests to avoid escrow.
Authenticity
Counterfeits, reprints sold as originals, trimmed or altered cards without clear disclosure, and mislabeled slabs are prohibited. If authenticity is uncertain, say so in the listing and price accordingly.
We may request additional photos, serial verification, or return of an item during disputes. Repeated authenticity issues can lead to permanent removal.
Shipping expectations
Ship within the timeframe stated at listing or checkout (typically within three business days). Use trackable shipping when required. Pack cards to prevent damage (sleeves, top loaders, sturdy mailers).
High-value orders may require signature confirmation or extra documentation as described in the product. Upload tracking promptly when you mark an order shipped.
Buyer conduct
- Read listings carefully before purchasing; on-chain payments are difficult to reverse.
- Confirm delivery only when you have received the correct item in reasonably disclosed condition.
- Open disputes in good faith with evidence during the protection window.
- Do not abuse returns, chargebacks, or threats to extract refunds outside Platform rules.
Prohibited conduct
- Stolen goods, counterfeit items, or listings for items you do not possess;
- Harassment, hate speech, or doxxing;
- Spam, scraping, or automated abuse;
- Circumventing escrow or soliciting off-platform payment;
- Sanctions evasion, fraud, or impersonation of Dabs Collectibles staff;
- Illegal items or items that cannot legally be shipped to the buyer.
Enforcement
We may warn, remove content, delay escrow release, suspend accounts, or report activity to authorities. Severe or repeated violations may be permanent. If you believe action was taken in error, contact support@dabscollectibles.app.
