Marketplace transparency
Version 1.0, 23 August 2026. This information forms part of the Trademeup terms (operator: TTA Technologies, {{COMPANY_ADDRESS}}, RCS {{RCS_NUMBER}}, VAT ID {{VAT_NUMBER}}) and satisfies Article 6a of Directive 2011/83/EU.
1. How offers are ranked
1.1 Where several offers exist for one card, the default ranking is the total of item price and shipping to the buyer's country, ascending. That is the amount the buyer actually pays.
1.2 Where totals are equal, the following decide, in this order:
- the condition of the card (better condition first),
- the seller's rating,
- the number of completed sales,
- the age of the offer (older first).
1.3 The buyer can change the ranking at any time (for example by price, condition or seller rating).
1.4 There is no paid placement. No seller can buy a better position, neither through advertising nor through higher fees. A Pro account does not change the order.
1.5 Search across the catalogue weights the match against the query: card name before localised names, then set name, number and set code. Cards with active offers rank higher on an equal match, so that search leads to results you can actually buy.
2. Who the contracting party is
2.1 The contract of sale is concluded between buyer and seller. Trademeup is not a party to it.
2.2 Trademeup provides the marketplace, processes payment, invoices its own fees and offers the optional buyer protection.
3. Division of obligations
| Area | Seller | Trademeup |
|---|---|---|
| Condition and quality of the goods | yes | no |
| Accuracy of the listing details | yes | no |
| Shipping, packaging, delivery time | yes | no |
| Customs, import charges and formalities | yes | no |
| Legal guarantee (for business sellers) | yes | no |
| Right of withdrawal (for business sellers) | yes | no |
| Payment processing | no | yes |
| Buyer protection, where booked | no | yes |
| Dispute handling on the platform | no | yes |
| Notices about illegal content | no | yes |
4. Business and private sellers
4.1 Every seller declares at registration whether they act as a business or as a private individual. That declaration is shown on every offer.
4.2 For an offer from a private individual, EU consumer rights do not apply: there is no 14 day right of withdrawal and no legal guarantee. Trademeup buyer protection remains available.
4.3 The declaration reflects the seller's own assessment. Anyone selling regularly and at scale is a trader in law regardless of what they declared. Trademeup reviews this and reclassifies accounts where necessary.
5. Reviews
5.1 Reviews can only be left by buyers who bought and received the item through Trademeup. Reviews without an underlying purchase are not possible.
5.2 Reviews are not removed for payment. Only content that breaches the rules is removed, and the removal is reasoned.
