Trading card Guidelines

Listings on SNKRDUNK are categorized in two main categories: "Brand-new" and "Used".

Also, the guideline standards for item quality vary depending on the listing method and item categories.

Please list your items in the item categories according to the quality of your items.

In addition, please follow the rules listed below to list your items for sale.

Please only list trading card boxes/packs (with the exception of some promotional packs) as ‘brand-new’.

Please only list your item if all of the following points apply, if any of the following points are not applicable, please do not list your item.

・Brand-new, unused, and unopened

・The product itself and its accessories are not stained or damaged

・All accessories are included

*Bags for storing accessories are not included in what is considered a required accessory

All single trading card can be listed as “Used” items.

All items can be listed in any condition, from mint-condition items (condition the item is after being opened) to items with major damage.

Please take and upload pictures of each individual item you list.

At the time of inspection, our team will confirm that the item received matches the item pictured in the listing.

*Please check the listing rules for further details when entering the "商品の状態"(Item’s Condition).

Please select the correct information for name/style code of the item(s), size, and condition of the item(s).

Also, comments on used listings are considered part of the listing information and will be taken into account when inspecting the item, because they are part of the information that will be used as reference by buyers when considering the purchase of a used item.

*Deleted comments, as well as undeleted comments, may have already been viewed by the buyer and will be taken into

consideration during the authentication and inspection process.

Incorrect listing information may result in cancellation of the transaction and a cancellation fee (10% of the price) may be charged.

Please also refer to the following page for details on the rules and information for all items to be listed for sale.

・Guidelines for listing items for sale

Trading card items may not be shipped together with items classified in other categories.

Please make sure to arrange the shipment of trading card items only after a transaction has started.

In addition, when you ship trading card items for multiple transactions together, please be sure to separate the items for each transaction and include a sticky note or similar item that shows each item’s transaction ID.

Inadequate packing methods may cause transaction cancellation due to the nature of the product and transaction.

*When you use "Combined Shipping", please select only trading card items.

・Guidelines for Packing and Shipping

For used trading cards, you are able to list a maximum of 10 of the same item in the same listing as long as they all cards match the one on the listing page.

At the time of listing, please reconfirm the number of cards in your possession, then select the correct size (number of cards).

Please select the most applicable condition for your item after checking it for details such as chipping, denting etc.

*The guideline standards at authentication/inspection may differ depending on the listing information (below).

*Should items across multiple levels apply, please list your item under the lowest applicable condition.

Please select the condition of your item, based upon the scale in the following table.

Regarding listing pictures, please make sure to take pictures for each area with all the cards lined up.

For pictures showing the front and back of the cards, please make sure that they do not overlap.

Please note that regardless of information provided in the listing description, should a card that differs from the item on the listing page be included in the multiple cards you have listed, your listing may be deleted, or the items may be sent to the buyer after the differing card has been disposed of.

Minor staining, loose shrink-wrap, and other conditions that can occur at the time of manufacturing are often found in items handled by authorized dealers and for this reason are considered within the SNKRDUNK quality standards.

Please note that due to the intrinsic nature of these items, we cannot confirm the condition of trading card items prior to listing. Please understand this in advance.

If an item shows damage that is extensive enough to detract from the design of the item itself, there is the possibility that such condition may be considered to be outside our standards and therefore cannot be listed.

In addition, for details regarding our quality standards, please check the link below.

・Damaged Box Guidelines

Items that have not been shrink-wrapped from the manufacturing stage may only be listed if they are in unopened condition.

However, please understand in advance that such boxes will be opened at the time of inspection to check the number of packs contained in the box.

*Products annotated as "No guarantee that the box is unopened or the rarity of the cards due to the nature of the box" in the product image are eligible.

*Please note that if you are listing boxed items that are not originally shrink-wrapped, they should be listed as packs, not as boxes, even if they were purchased on SNKRDUNK.

Items that have been shrink-wrapped (i.e. with vinyl film) during primary distribution, such as Pokémon trading cards, may only be listed in this condition (shrink-wrapped).

In addition, as we allow items to be listed regardless of the sales channel, items that present the following conditions may be listed.

・Markings (with markers) on the vinyl film wrapping (shrink wrap)

・Seller's warranty seal is stamped on the box

・A bar code (tag) is attached directly to the product.

*Only barcodes (tags) that appear to have been placed by the retailer are accepted

On the other hand, the following conditions are not accepted:

・Shrink presents major looseness *Including items purchased from authorized stores

・Items with noticeable tears

・Shrink with tape attached to it

*Excluding barcodes (tags) that appear to have been placed by the seller

For details regarding our quality standards, please check the link below.

・Quality Guidelines for Trading Cards (Single Cards)

If the item is contained inside a card holder that certifies it has been authenticated by a third-party authentication company, such as PSA, we will inspect and authenticate the item as is, still inside the card holder it came into.

Please be assured that we will carefully authenticate the following details even in its original condition (i.e. inside the card holder)

・If the card holder presents signs of opening;

・If the card holder is damaged;

・If the card holder is a counterfeit.

・If the card itself (inside the holder) is a counterfeit.

*The condition of the card itself (inside the holder) will not be checked regarding whether it conforms to the grade assigned by the third-party authentication company

*About “Qualifier” grading, we authenticate based on PSA’s official “Additional Terms & Info”

*If the card arrives inside a clear plastic bag, the plastic bag will be opened at the time of authentication and, depending on its condition, SNKRDUNK will provide a replacement

A violation fee (50% of the total sales price) will be charged for highly malicious sales, such as items that are judged to be counterfeit or items that have been previously identified as counterfeit (or banned) and then re-listed.

In addition, we consider as disruptive any behavior that interferes with other customers' use of the site, such as listing items that are different from those on the product page in the used section.
