Terms of Service
Last updated: April 2026. By using FoilMarket you agree to these terms.
1. Platform description
FoilMarket.eu is a peer-to-peer marketplace for Pokémon TCG cards. We connect buyers and sellers; we are not a party to individual transactions between users.
2. Account requirements
You must be 18 or older (or 16 with parental consent under Austrian law). One account per person. You are responsible for your account security.
3. Seller obligations
- Cards must be accurately described and graded honestly
- Condition must match: NM = no visible wear, LP = minor edge wear only, PL = clear play wear
- Ship within 3 business days of payment confirmation
- Sellers must set fair rates in their shipping profile; FoilMarket automatically applies the correct tier (economy, tracked, parcel or insured) to each order by its value and contents
- When an order ships tracked, parcel or insured, the seller must provide a valid tracking number
- Prohibited: counterfeits, proxy cards, damaged cards listed as NM, items not matching photos
4. Fees
Listing is free. FoilMarket charges 5% of the final sale price (3% for Pro sellers). Stripe payment processing fees (~1.5% + €0.25) are additional and charged by Stripe directly. Fees are deducted before payout.
5. EU consumer rights (Widerrufsrecht)
Private sellers (non-commercial) are not required to accept returns under EU consumer law. Commercial sellers must comply with the 14-day right of withdrawal. Clearly indicate in your listing whether you are a commercial or private seller.
6. Dispute resolution
Contact us at disputes@foilmarket.eu for help. We mediate but cannot compel outcomes in peer-to-peer disputes. Escalation to EU ODR platform is available.
7. Prohibited items
Counterfeit cards, proxy cards, cards graded higher than their actual condition, and any item not related to the Pokémon TCG are prohibited. Violations result in immediate account suspension.
8. Limitation of liability
FoilMarket acts solely as a venue connecting buyers and sellers. We are not a party to any transaction and do not guarantee the quality, safety, legality, or accuracy of listings. To the maximum extent permitted by Austrian and EU law:
- Our total liability to any user shall not exceed the fees collected from that user in the 12 months preceding the claim.
- We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages including lost profits, lost data, or business interruption.
- We are not liable for losses arising from third-party services (Stripe, shipping carriers, etc.).
Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, gross negligence, or death/personal injury caused by our negligence, as required by Austrian law (ABGB).
9. Payments & payouts
All payments are processed by Stripe. When a buyer completes checkout, the payment is split: 95% of the item price plus shipping goes to the seller's connected Stripe account, and 5% is retained as the platform fee. Seller payouts are processed by Stripe within 2-3 business days. Payments are not held pending delivery unless otherwise stated.
10. Chargebacks & payment disputes
If a buyer initiates a chargeback through their bank or card issuer:
- Stripe may debit the disputed amount plus any chargeback fees (currently €15 per dispute) from the platform or the seller's connected account.
- FoilMarket will provide transaction records and shipping evidence to assist in contesting fraudulent chargebacks.
- Orders that ship tracked, parcel or insured carry proof of delivery, which significantly strengthens chargeback defence.
- Lower-value orders that ship by untracked economy letter carry no tracking, so the seller may not be able to prove delivery in a dispute.
- Repeated chargebacks (3+ in 6 months) may result in account suspension.
11. Account suspension & termination
We reserve the right to suspend or permanently terminate accounts for:
- Listing counterfeit or prohibited items
- Fraudulent transactions or chargeback abuse
- Repeated failure to ship items within the stated timeframe
- Harassment or abuse towards other users
- Violation of these Terms of Service
Upon suspension: active listings are removed, pending payouts are held for 90 days (or until disputes are resolved), and the user will be notified via email with the reason for suspension. Users may appeal by contacting disputes@foilmarket.eu within 30 days.
You may delete your account at any time. Outstanding transactions must be completed or cancelled before deletion. Transaction records are retained for 7 years per Austrian commercial law.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by Austrian law. Disputes are subject to the jurisdiction of Austrian courts in Vienna, except where mandatory EU consumer law provides otherwise.

Card Condition Grading Guide
Use this guide to accurately grade your cards before listing. Honest grading builds trust and prevents disputes.
NM
Near Mint
Card looks brand new or almost new. No visible wear, no scratches on the surface, no whitening on edges or corners. Minor factory imperfections are acceptable. This is the expected condition for cards pulled straight from packs.
LP
Lightly Played
Minor edge wear or very slight whitening on corners. May have one or two very light surface scratches only visible at an angle. Card looks great in a sleeve. Most collectors consider LP cards acceptable for binders.
PL
Played
Noticeable wear on edges and corners. Surface scratches visible without close inspection. May have minor creasing or slight bending. Card has been played without sleeves or handled frequently.
HP
Heavy Played
Significant wear across the card. Visible creases, heavy whitening on edges, noticeable surface damage. Card is still complete and identifiable but shows extensive play use.
DMG
Damaged
Card has major damage: tears, water damage, heavy creasing, missing pieces, or writing on the surface. Only suitable for casual collectors or as placeholder cards.
Tip: When in doubt, grade lower. A buyer receiving a card in better condition than expected leaves a good review. The opposite leads to disputes.
Buyer Protection
FoilMarket is committed to protecting buyers in every transaction.
How it works
- Secure payments: All payments are processed via Stripe. Your card details are never stored on our servers.
- Item not received: If your item doesn't arrive within 14 days (EU) or 21 days (international), open a dispute and we'll investigate with the seller.
- Item not as described: If the card condition doesn't match the listing (e.g., listed as NM but arrives PL), you can open a dispute within 14 days of delivery.
- Counterfeit protection: If you receive a counterfeit card, you are entitled to a full refund. The seller's account will be suspended.
- Seller ratings: After confirming delivery, you can rate the seller (1-5 stars). Ratings help the community identify trustworthy sellers.
Shipping
FoilMarket automatically selects the right shipping tier for every order based on its value and contents — sellers set their rates, and the right one is picked for you:
- Economy letter: low-cost untracked mail, used only for lower-value single-card orders.
- Tracked letter: automatically applied once an order's value passes the seller's tracking threshold. A tracking number serves as proof of delivery in a dispute.
- Parcel: used for sealed products, shipped tracked.
- Insured parcel: automatically applied to very high-value orders, with declared-value insurance.
Because higher-value orders always ship tracked — and insured above the seller's insurance threshold — you're protected on the orders that matter most. On lower-value orders you can optionally add tracking at checkout for extra peace of mind.
Payment processing
Payments are processed immediately via Stripe at checkout. The seller receives their payout within 2-3 business days via Stripe Connect. If you experience an issue with your order, you can:
- Contact the seller directly via Messages
- Email disputes@foilmarket.eu with your order details and photos
- As a last resort, initiate a chargeback through your bank or card issuer
What's not covered
- Buyer's remorse (changed your mind)
- Price changes after purchase
- Minor condition disagreements within one grade (e.g., "I think it's NM not LP")
- Loss in transit of a lower-value order shipped by untracked economy letter where tracking was not added — this lowest-cost tier carries no tracking, so delivery cannot be proven
Dispute Resolution
We aim to resolve all disputes fairly and quickly.
Step 1: Contact the seller
Use the Messages feature to contact the seller directly. Most issues can be resolved with a quick conversation.
Step 2: Open a dispute
If you can't resolve it directly, email disputes@foilmarket.eu with: your username, the listing ID, a description of the issue, and photos if applicable.
Step 3: Mediation
Our team will review the case within 48 hours and propose a resolution. We may ask both parties for additional information.
Step 4: Resolution
Possible outcomes include: full refund, partial refund, return & refund, or case dismissed. Both parties will be notified of the decision.
EU ODR Platform
As an EU-based platform, you can also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

Questions
FAQ for buyers
Is FoilMarket really EU-only? +
Yes. We only operate within the EU — your account country must be EU, and sellers can only ship to EU buyers. This keeps customs, currency, and consumer protection consistent for everyone.
What if my card doesn't arrive? +
Open a dispute via the order page or email disputes@foilmarket.eu within 7 days of expected delivery. We'll mediate. Tracked shipping serves as proof either way.
Can I buy with crypto? +
Yes — BTC, ETH, and USDC are supported via CoinGate. Pricing is locked in EUR at checkout; CoinGate handles the conversion. Crypto orders use the same buyer protection.
Do I pay any platform fee? +
No buyer fee. You pay the sticker price plus shipping. The 5% platform fee is paid by the seller out of their proceeds.
How fast does my order ship? +
Sellers must ship within 3 working days. You'll get a notification + email with tracking (if applicable) the moment it goes out.
What about offers I accept but can't pay? +
Click "Cancel…" on the offer row and give a reason. The seller can approve (you owe nothing) or reject (you still need to pay). Please don't ghost — it blocks the listing for everyone.

Questions
FAQ for sellers
When do I get paid? +
The moment a buyer checks out, payment lands on your Stripe balance — no escrow, no holding period. Stripe pays out to your bank on its default schedule (typically every 2 business days, configurable up to instant or weekly in your Stripe dashboard).
Do I need to be a registered business? +
No. Individuals can sell as private sellers. The Austrian small-business VAT exemption (Kleinunternehmer) applies below the threshold. Cross-border VAT for high-volume sellers — consult your accountant.
How long do I have to ship? +
3 working days from sale. You buy the label from any carrier you trust (Austrian Post, DHL, GLS, etc.). FoilMarket automatically requires tracking above your threshold — and insurance for high-value orders — so proof of delivery protects you in disputes.
What does Pro actually save me? +
2 percentage points (5% → 3%) on every item sold. Breakeven on the €19.99/mo subscription is around €1,000 in monthly sales. You also get the Pro badge — a trust signal that helps new sellers build credibility faster.
What happens with chargebacks? +
Tracked shipping with proof of delivery defeats most chargebacks. We provide records to help. Untracked is your risk — for low-value items it's still common, but Buyer Protection tilts toward the buyer when delivery can't be proven.
Can I list sealed products? +
Yes — Booster Boxes, ETBs, UPCs, tins, individual packs, blisters. Same flow, same fees. Photo of the seal recommended to prove factory-sealed condition.
