Section 01 · Acceptance

What PlayerLots is, and what it isn’t.

A short preamble that explains the shape of the marketplace before you agree to anything in the clauses that follow.

PlayerLots is a fixed-price, lot-based marketplace for sports cards. Listings, pricing, shipping, and transaction flows are governed by platform-defined rules and policies.

By using PlayerLots, you agree to these Terms & Conditions.

Who you contract with. These terms are an agreement between you and Abisam Solutions, Inc., which operates PlayerLots, 6350 Kemp Dr., Acworth, GA 30102. They are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, and any dispute arising from them will be heard in the state or federal courts located in Georgia.

Section 02 · Structure

How listings, prices, and shipping are framed.

PlayerLots is deliberately narrow: fixed tiers, fixed lot sizes, and shipping rules that are decided before a buyer ever reaches checkout.

  • Lots are sold at fixed prices chosen from platform-defined tiers ($10-$100 in $5 increments)
  • Sellers select a price tier but may not set arbitrary prices
  • Shipping is shown before payment and is the carrier rate rounded up to the nearest $0.50, which absorbs small rate changes between checkout and label purchase
  • Lots $20+ ship BMWT with tracking; lots $10-$15 ship via PWE ($2 flat)
Section 03 · Buyers

What we ask of the people doing the claiming.

Buying a lot is a one-tap affair - but the commitment that tap carries is real. These are the obligations that come with it.

Buyers agree to:

  • Provide accurate account and payment information
  • Complete payment within the claim window
  • Follow platform policies for claims, disputes, and feedback

Failure to do so may result in account restrictions or suspension.

Section 04 · Sellers

What we ask of the people doing the listing.

Sellers set the tone of the marketplace. Accurate listings, prompt shipping, and honest tracking are the baseline - not the aspiration.

Sellers agree to:

  • List lots accurately and according to platform definitions
  • Ship using the required shipping method for the lot
  • Record valid tracking (or mark the lot shipped for plain-white-envelope lots) within 72 hours of payment
  • Follow platform image and content rules
Section 05 · Money

How money moves on the platform.

Payments are taken at checkout and released to the seller after the lot ships and a short payout hold clears. The rules below describe that flow.

  • Buyers pay the lot price plus shipping at checkout
  • Seller payouts are calculated automatically based on platform rules
  • Payouts are released after shipment, once tracking is recorded and the payout hold clears
  • Plain-white-envelope (PWE) lots carry no tracking. The seller marks the lot shipped, and the payout is released 7 days after that mark unless the buyer opens a dispute first
  • For PWE lots, the buyer is asked to confirm arrival 5 days after the ship mark. A lot the buyer has not confirmed or disputed is treated as delivered 14 days after the ship mark
  • Platform fees and shipping adjustments are applied automatically
Section 06 · Memberships

Paid memberships, renewal, and cancelling.

Memberships are optional. Buying and selling lots never requires one. These terms cover what a membership is, how it renews, and how to stop it.

Collector, monthly or annual

  • A Collector membership is a subscription billed through Stripe at the price shown when you join
  • It renews automatically at the end of each month or year, and your payment method is charged for the next period, until you cancel
  • You can cancel at any time from the Memberships page (Manage your plan), which opens the Stripe billing portal
  • When you cancel, renewal stops and you keep Collector until the end of the period you already paid for

Founding Member

  • Founding Member is a single payment, not a subscription. It never renews and is never charged again
  • It includes Collector access and the Founding Member seller fee rate through December 31, 2027
  • After that date, Collector access ends unless you choose to subscribe, and your seller fee returns to the standard rate
  • Founding Member is offered for a limited window and may close to new members at any time

Refunds and changes

  • Membership payments are not refundable, including for a partly used period, except where the law requires
  • If we change a subscription price, we will tell you by email before the change applies to your next renewal, and you can cancel before then
  • If we suspend or close an account for a policy violation, any membership on it ends without a refund
Section 07 · Returns

When - and when not - a return is accepted.

PlayerLots protects buyers from objective problems, not from buyer’s remorse. The line is drawn deliberately.

Returns are accepted only for objective issues:

  • Incorrect lot shipped
  • Lot does not match the listing
  • Damage incurred during transit

Returns are not accepted for subjective dissatisfaction or preference.

Section 08 · Disputes

How disagreements between buyers and sellers are resolved.

PlayerLots is the referee. The process is intentionally short and the decisions are final.

  • The platform may review disputes and request supporting information from both parties
  • Dispute decisions are final
  • Abuse of the dispute process may result in account restrictions
Section 09 · Enforcement

When we intervene on an account.

The platform reserves the right to act when behavior threatens the health of the marketplace for everyone else on it.

The platform may restrict, suspend, or terminate accounts for:

  • Policy violations
  • Fraudulent behavior
  • Abuse of platform systems
Section 10 · Changes

How these terms might evolve.

Marketplaces change. These terms will change with them - and continued use is how you tell us the updates are fine.

We may update these Terms & Conditions over time. Continued use of the platform constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
