Tracked Shipments & Smart Lockers: The Trustee Service (0.0% Buyer Fee)
Whenever an order ships with tracking or to a smart locker (InPost, Mondial Relay, DHL Packstation, Citypaq), our Trustee Service holds funds in legal escrow. Unlike traditional marketplaces, Trustee protection on EuropeTCG is 100% FREE (0.0%) for the buyer.
1. You Pay Safely
The buyer completes checkout in Euros (€). Funds are secured in EuropeTCG escrow accounts.
2. The Seller Ships the Parcel
The seller drops off the parcel at the agency or smart locker and registers the verified tracking number.
3. Funds Released to Seller
Once the buyer confirms arrival or the carrier registers locker retrieval, funds are released to the seller (withdrawable from 10.00 € via 0€ SEPA).
If a parcel is lost in transit by the carrier, the buyer receives a 100% full refund from EuropeTCG, while the seller files an insured claim with the transport agency.
100% Tracked Shipments & Digital Traceability Guarantee
At EuropeTCG we prioritize security. Every order over 10.00 €, as well as bundles and sealed products, is strictly tracked via top-tier European carriers (Correos, La Poste, InPost, Mondial Relay, DHL, DPD, GLS).
- Digital Verification: Every parcel features tracking events and digital signature or automated locker drop scans.
- 24/7 Smart Lockers & PUDO: Retrieval via PIN/QR code generates instant proof-of-delivery, unlocking funds safely.
- Carrier Loss Settlement: If a courier declares an official loss or theft, the buyer bears zero risk and receives an immediate refund.
For single cards or orders valued at 150.00 € or higher, EuropeTCG establishes reinforced packaging guidelines to guarantee fairness in any dispute:
- Rigid Protection:Protective sleeve + rigid toploader or graded slab required.
- Packaging Evidence:The seller should photograph or record continuous footage of the card placed inside the sealed parcel before dispatch.
- Unboxing Verification:Buyers are advised to record continuous unboxing video footage upon receiving high-tier collector parcels.
