Seller Policy

Effective date: October 22, 2026 · Last updated: October 22, 2026

Seller agreement

This Seller Policy is part of the Slabsta Terms of Service. By listing an item, you agree to it, to the Terms, and to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement. You are the seller of record for your items; Slabsta is the venue.

Stripe onboarding and payouts

Before you can receive payouts you must complete Stripe Connect Express onboarding (identity, bank account and tax information). Stripe performs identity verification (KYC). When an order completes (buyer confirms, or 2 days after delivery with no open claim), we transfer 100% of the item price plus the shipping charge to your Stripe account; Stripe pays out to your bank on its schedule. We may hold or reverse transfers for open claims, chargebacks, suspected fraud or policy violations.

Listing accuracy

• You must own the item and have it in your possession, ready to ship, when you list it.
• Identify the exact title, issue number, variant, printing and publisher. Check any automatic identification and price estimate: they are suggestions and you are responsible for the final listing.
• Describe condition honestly, including spine stress, creases, tears, stains, missing pieces, coupons cut, writing, and odor or smoke.
• Disclose all known restoration, trimming, cleaning/pressing (if known), married pages or other alterations.
• Set a fair price. Price manipulation and fake sales are prohibited.

Grading disclosure

• Slabs (CGC, CBCS, PGX): state the grading company, numeric grade, label type (for example Universal/Blue, Signature Series/Yellow, Restored or Qualified) and certification number, exactly as shown on the label. Disclose cracks, scratches or damage to the holder, and any newton rings.
• Raw books: any grade you give is your opinion. Use standard grade terms and show defects in photos. Do not imply a raw book is professionally graded.
• Do not list a book as slabbed unless it is currently encapsulated by the named company. Never list a re-holdered, resealed, or altered slab without full disclosure (and never if tampered, see Prohibited Items).

Photos

Photos must be of the actual item you are selling, taken by you. Include at least the front cover; for slabs include the full label and certification number; for raw books show the back and any defects. Stock images, catalog images or photos of a different copy are not allowed (except as a secondary, clearly labelled reference image).

Shipping standards

• Ship and add tracking within 5 days of the sale. If valid tracking is not added in time, the order is cancelled automatically and the buyer is refunded in full.
• Buy your own postage from USPS, UPS, FedEx or DHL (for example through Pirate Ship) and ship to the address shown on the order only.
• Raw books: bag and board, sandwich between rigid cardboard or a comic mailer, secure so it cannot shift, and ship in a box or rigid mailer. No bending, no loose envelopes.
• Slabs: place in a slab sleeve, wrap with bubble wrap, and ship in a sturdy box with at least 1–2 inches of padding on all sides (or a dedicated slab box). Never ship slabs in padded envelopes.
• Insurance: strongly recommended for items over $100; use signature confirmation for items over $500. If an uninsured package is lost or damaged and the claim is upheld, the refund may be recovered from your payout.

Taxes

You are responsible for reporting and paying any income tax on your sales. Stripe may issue you a Form 1099-K and report payouts to the IRS as required by law. Where Slabsta is required to collect and remit sales tax as a marketplace facilitator, we will do so for marketplace sales; you remain responsible for any other tax obligations.

Prohibited listings

You may not list anything in our Prohibited and Restricted Items policy, including non-comic items, counterfeits, reproductions sold as originals, tampered or resealed slabs, stolen goods and bootlegs. Do not ask buyers to pay outside Slabsta.

Cancellations and returns

If you cannot fulfill an order, cancel promptly; the buyer is refunded in full. You must accept returns and issue refunds when a Buyer Protection claim is decided against you; return postage is your responsibility when you are at fault.

Consequences

Depending on severity and history, violations may result in listing removal, order cancellation, loss of payouts tied to the violation, recovery of refunds from future payouts, limits on selling, suspension or permanent removal, and reporting to law enforcement or grading companies.
