Trading

When creating a trade, you must choose between 2 types: Local and By Mail. Local trade type is a simpler type, that you can use when you and a friend are trying to decide on what cards to swap, to easily chat and see the total card values. These trades do not require leaving feedback for the other user. They are also NOT subjected to the rules described below, and they cannot get you banned. But if you will exchange the cards by mail you MUST use the mail trade type.

Rules

  1. Do NOT create more than one account on deckbox. (If you have problems logging in or reactivating, or whatever else, just email support@deckbox.org)
  2. Do NOT try manipulating your feedback score by any means (Creating fictional trades with friends or fictional users WILL get you banned. Feedback score, be it +1 or -1 MUST have a reason, or it will be canceled and you will be penalized.)
  3. If a card's condition is not mint, you have to explicitly state it to the other trader.
  4. After the trade is accepted and addresses exchanged, there is no backing out.
  5. The sender is responsible for the cards to get to the destination, or to prove that he sent them.
  6. If there is no consensus on who sends the cards first, the person with the lower feedback score must. (For equal feeback scores, both send at the same time)

Failure to comply to the above rules will result in having your user penalized or banned.

Guidelines

When you intend to trade with someone you do not know, please take the following steps:

  • If he's not from the same country, check if he Will send internationally
  • Read his bio carefully, people usually use it to specify conditions and expectations for trading
  • Think twice about rating someone . You will likely get one back.

Furthermore, to avoid being tricked, please take the following precautions:

  • When choosing a user for trading, make sure to check his profile page for his feedback score, go through his trading history and friends list. Fair people will tend to have fair friends, so pay attention to the feedback scores of a user's friends.
  • Keep your profile completed with location info, and clearly specify the conditions for trading in your bio. Pay attention to the same things when looking at another user's profile and friends.
  • If at all possible, use delivery confirmation or mail order tracking for sending cards. As the rules state, you are responsible for proving you send the cards and for their arrival at the destination.
  • Use the trade chat. In case of trade disputes, it will be the first thing that moderators will check.
