At Auction Completion

  • Once an auction closes, AllStarBids will e-mail both parties (winning bidder and seller) confirmation of successful complete action and a settlement invoice with all required details. This serves as an introduction to both parties by AllStarBids in order for you to complete the transaction.

  • Winning bidders (buyers) must pay for the remaining balance of the auction item(s) total hammer price within 72 hours of auction completion as per terms of the seller and accepted forms of payment, or risk actions taken upon them per AllStarBids Buyer Agreement.

  • Once a seller receives payment, they must ship the item out to the winning bidder within 72 hours (3 days) of payment submission date, or risk actions taken upon them as per AllStarBids Seller Agreement.

6. Shipping and Fulfillment

Sellers are responsible for:

  • Shipping the correctly sold item in the auction

  • Secure and appropriate packaging

  • Providing valid shipment tracking information

  • Insuring high-value items when commercially reasonable

  • Ship sold items promptly and securely as agreed upon with the buyer per the settlement invoice/agreement (general rule-of-thumb and “reasonable expectations” with regard to shipping time is for the selling party to ship within forty-eight (48) hours of sale completion, unless otherwise stated/agreed to with buyer

Failure to ship items on time or improper fulfillment may result in penalties, delayed payments, or account suspension.

7. Dispute Resolution Between Buyer and Seller

Applicable consumer protection and commerce laws

AllStarBids may resolve disputes at its discretion.

8a. Authenticity and Condition Warranties

Sellers represent and warrant that:

  • Items are authentic unless clearly disclosed otherwise

  • Descriptions are truthful and accurate

  • Images reflect the actual condition of the listed items

False claims or misrepresentation may result in financial liability, account termination, and legal consequences.

8b. Seller Protection Recommendation – Tamper-Evident Seals

To help prevent fraud and protect both buyers and sellers, AllStarBids strongly recommends that sellers use tamper-evident seals on all raw trading cards, sports cards, and collectible items before shipping. These seals should be placed on the card sleeve, holder, or protective case and should clearly show if the item has been opened or altered. For maximum protection, sellers are advised to use custom or uniquely identifiable seals (such as numbered holographic labels, serialized security stickers, or branded seals) rather than generic stickers that can be easily purchased or duplicated by the general public. A unique seal provides a clear chain of custody and makes tampering immediately visible. If a buyer attempts to return an item and the security seal has been broken, cut, or removed, the seller has clear evidence that the item may have been altered after delivery. This same protection applies to any memorabilia or collectible items where contents could potentially be swapped or tampered with. Using tamper-evident security seals is a simple and effective way to help protect sellers from fraudulent return claims and ensure marketplace trust for all users.

9. Intellectual Property Rights

Sellers retain ownership of their intellectual property and listing content.
However, Sellers grant AllStarBids a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, and display listing content for platform operations, marketing, and promotional purposes.

10. Indemnification

Sellers agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless AllStarBids from any claims, losses, damages, or liabilities arising from:

  • Seller listings or transactions

  • Breach of this Agreement

  • Violations of applicable laws or third-party rights

11. Suspension and Termination

AllStarBids may suspend or terminate Seller access for:

  • Violations of platform policies

  • Fraud, misconduct, or deceptive practices

  • Legal or regulatory concerns

Termination does not relieve Sellers of outstanding obligations or liabilities incurred prior to termination.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, AllStarBids shall not be liable for:

  • Seller losses resulting from Buyer actions or non-performance

  • Market fluctuations or changes in demand

  • Lost profits or indirect damages

AllStarBids’ total liability shall not exceed the fees paid by the Seller for the applicable transaction.

  • Reporting income derived from sales
