Staying safe
We check who sellers are. We cannot watch the handover.
Last updated 18 September 2026.
Before you agree
- Check the seller’s badge. An ID check is not a promise about the card.
- Ask for a photo of the exact card beside today’s date, in their hand.
- Keep the conversation here. A seller who insists on moving apps is telling you something.
- Compare the asking price with the shop prices on the card’s page.
When you hand over money
- Meet in public where you can look at the card first: a mall, a shop, an event.
- For high value, meet at a game store and ask staff to witness it.
- If you must ship, use a courier with tracking and record the packing.
- Keep every receipt and screenshot until the card is in your hands.
What we can do if it goes wrong
We can read what was said here, remove the listing, refuse further verification and block the account. We can give you what we hold if the police or a court asks us properly.
TCGPinas is a free service that connects buyers and sellers. We are not part of the sale: we hold no payment, ship nothing, inspect nothing, and guarantee no listing. Losses, scams and disputes are between the buyer and the seller. Verification means we checked a seller's ID, and for high-value cards a video of their collection; it is not a promise about any particular sale.
Report from the listing or message, or email retailers@tcgpinas.com. The rules are in Marketplace rules.
