Terms of Service

Effective Date: October 27, 2026

These Terms are an agreement between you and DiscandDeck LLC ("DiscandDeck," "we," "us"), a South Dakota limited liability company. They cover your use of discanddeck.com and everything on it. By creating an account, making a purchase, or creating a listing on the site, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

1. What DiscandDeck Is

DiscandDeck is a peer-to-peer (P2P) online marketplace specifically for physical media and gaming hardware: DVDs, Blu-rays, 4K UHDs, steelbooks, box sets, boutique film releases, video games, consoles, handhelds, and PC graphics cards.

Sales happen directly between buyers and sellers. DiscandDeck provides the web platform, seller fee tracking, tax compliance tools, and marketplace rules. DiscandDeck is not the seller or buyer of any listed item, does not take physical custody or possession of listed items, and does not guarantee the contents of any individual listing, user, or item.

2. Who Can Use DiscandDeck

• Age Limit: You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a legally binding contract.
• Geographic Scope: You must reside in the United States. DiscandDeck currently supports United States shipping addresses and U.S. Dollar ($ USD) transactions only.
• One Account Per User: You may only maintain one account. You may not access or use an account that belongs to someone else, and you may not create a new account if DiscandDeck has previously suspended or terminated your access.
• Account Security: Keep your account password secure. You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

3. Buying

• Binding Purchase: When you click "Buy Now" and complete payment checkout, you enter into a binding agreement to purchase the item at the price shown at checkout (including the item price, applicable state sales tax, and any specified shipping charges). Buyers pay zero DiscandDeck platform fees.
• Binding Offers: Submitting an offer is a binding commitment to purchase. If a seller accepts your offer, you are expected to complete payment checkout within 24 hours. Until payment checkout is complete, the item remains available for purchase by other buyers.
• Order Delivery & Auto-Completion: Inspect your order as soon as it arrives and confirm receipt on your Order Dashboard. If you do not manually confirm receipt or report an issue, the order automatically marks as Completed seven (7) calendar days after the shipping carrier shows the package as delivered, or thirty (30) days after shipment if no delivery scan appears.
• Issues & Disputes: If an item arrives damaged, incomplete, or significantly not as described, message the seller directly using the order page message box. If you cannot reach a resolution with the seller, eligible transactions may be escalated by opening a claim under PayPal Purchase Protection pursuant to PayPal's policies.

4. Selling

• PayPal Merchant Requirement: To list items for sale, you must connect a valid PayPal account in good standing. Sale proceeds are paid by PayPal to your connected PayPal account. Depending on your seller level and trust score, PayPal may hold your share of a payment and release it when the conditions in Section 5 (Payout Timing) are met. DiscandDeck never takes possession of your sale proceeds; any hold is carried out by PayPal under PayPal's terms, at DiscandDeck's direction.
• Item Ownership & Accuracy: You may only list items that you physically own and have in hand. You agree to describe items accurately, disclosing the exact title, format, edition, region code, physical condition rating (New/Sealed, Like New, Very Good, Good, Acceptable), and any flaws or missing components (e.g., slipcovers, digital codes, inserts). Listing photos must display the actual physical item you are selling. Stock photos, manufacturer images, and photos taken from other listings or websites are prohibited.
• Listing Verification Code: Rookie, Verified, and Pro sellers must include, in the primary cover photo (Image #1) of each listing, a handwritten note showing the single-use verification code DiscandDeck provides, placed next to the item. DiscandDeck reads this photo automatically using a third-party text-recognition service (Google Cloud Vision) and may review it manually. Listings that cannot be verified are not published. Power Sellers and VIP Rockstars are exempt.
• Working Condition Required: Every item listed on DiscandDeck, including discs, video games, consoles, handhelds, and PC hardware, must be in fully functional, working condition. Non-working, defective, or "for parts" items may not be listed.
• Fulfillment & Shipping Rules: Sellers must ship paid orders within three (3) business days of payment confirmation using valid package tracking from a supported carrier: USPS, UPS, or FedEx. Each listing shows the shipping service the seller will use. Sellers must ship with that service or one that is equally fast or faster, at no additional cost to the buyer. Postage must be valid for the package's size and weight and appropriate for the item category, and sellers must follow the rules of the carrier and service they choose:
  • USPS Media Mail may only be used for qualifying recorded physical video/audio media (movies, TV box sets, Blu-rays, DVDs, 4K UHDs).
  • USPS Media Mail is strictly prohibited for video games, gaming consoles, handheld systems, PC hardware, or non-qualifying goods pursuant to Postal Service regulations.
• Shippo Integration & Shipping Estimates: If you purchase USPS, UPS, or FedEx shipping labels through DiscandDeck's integrated Shippo flow, labels are billed directly by Shippo according to Shippo's Terms of Service. Shipping cost estimates shown when you create a listing are for guidance only; the actual label price is set at purchase based on the buyer's address and the carrier's rates, and you are responsible for it.
• Seller Responsibility: The seller remains responsible for the package until the shipping carrier provides a confirmed delivery scan, and for complying with all applicable federal, state, and local laws governing their sales.

5. Platform Fees & Seller Tiers

• Seller Platform Fee: DiscandDeck charges sellers a standard platform fee of 6% of the item sale price, calculated and deducted at the time the order is paid.
• Seller Level Fee Discounts: Active sellers unlock reduced platform fees based on sales volume and track record:
  • Rookie / Verified Seller: 6.00% fee
  • Pro Seller: 5.75% fee
  • Power Seller: 5.50% fee
  • VIP Rockstar: 5.00% fee (or custom partner rate)
  • Seller levels are unlocked automatically based on completed order count, sales volume, feedback ratings, account age, and trust score (see below). Once unlocked, a seller level and its fee rate are retained permanently and do not decrease automatically; DiscandDeck may adjust or remove a level only in connection with an account action under Section 12 (for example fraud or a policy violation). The fee rate applied is the seller’s effective rate at the exact time the order is paid by the buyer.
• Trust Score: DiscandDeck calculates a trust score from 0 to 100 for each seller from objective marketplace data: completed dispute-free sales, PayPal disputes and chargebacks, refund rate, verified account details (email, phone, PayPal, Shippo), account age, and shipping speed (time from payment to the carrier's first scan). The formula is published on the Seller Levels page. Trust scores are used for seller levels and payout timing and are not a credit or consumer report.
• Payout Timing: To protect buyers, payments to sellers below VIP level may be held by PayPal and released when the release condition for the seller's level is met: Rookie — after a confirmed carrier delivery scan, when the buyer marks the order complete or 48 hours after that scan; Verified — on a confirmed carrier delivery scan; Pro — on the carrier's first scan; Power — when a shipping label is purchased or tracking is added; VIP — at the time of payment. For Rookie and Verified sellers, a confirmed carrier delivery scan is required before any payout, regardless of the item price; a buyer marking an order complete does not replace it. Payments with an open PayPal dispute remain on hold until the dispute is resolved. PayPal releases any payment still held 28 days after capture. Holds do not change the fees charged.
• Payout Probation: If a seller receives a PayPal dispute or chargeback, or the seller's trust score falls by 15 or more points within 30 days, the seller is placed on payout probation and Rookie payout timing applies to new sales until the dispute is resolved or the seller completes three (3) dispute-free sales, whichever happens first. Probation does not affect the seller's level, badge, fee rate, or ability to list.
• Buyer Fees: DiscandDeck charges buyers 0% platform fees. Buyers pay only the listed item price, applicable sales tax, and shipping.
• PayPal Payment Processing Fees: PayPal assesses its own standard merchant payment processing fee on each payment transaction. This fee is charged directly by PayPal out of the total buyer payment before funds reach the seller's PayPal balance.
• Platform Fees Are Non-Refundable: Platform service fees are fully earned upon successful transaction authorization and are non-refundable in the event of buyer-seller returns, cancellations, or disputes. This applies to the seller platform fee described above even if the seller later refunds the buyer in full or in part, the order is cancelled after payment, or a PayPal dispute or chargeback is resolved in the buyer's favor. Sales tax collected on an order is not a platform service fee; it is refunded to the buyer along with any refunded purchase price. PayPal's payment processing fees are governed by PayPal's own policies.

6. Taxes & Marketplace Facilitator Laws

• Marketplace Facilitator Sales Tax: Pursuant to state Marketplace Facilitator laws, DiscandDeck automatically calculates, collects, and remits applicable state and local sales taxes on sales made through the marketplace.
• Non-Income Disclosure: Sales tax collected from buyers is remitted directly to state tax authorities and does not represent seller income or platform fee revenue for DiscandDeck.
• Income Reporting: Sellers are independently responsible for reporting their gross income and paying applicable federal and state income or self-employment taxes.

7. Payments & Off-Platform Policy

All payments on DiscandDeck are processed via PayPal. Your payment activities are subject to PayPal's User Agreement and Privacy Statement. DiscandDeck never collects, views, or stores your credit card or bank account details.

Strict Prohibition of Off-Platform Transactions: You may not request, offer, or accept payments outside of DiscandDeck—including cash, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, direct PayPal "Friends & Family" transfers, or any off-site method. Attempting to move transactions off-platform bypasses buyer and seller protection, voids marketplace coverage, and will result in permanent account termination.

8. Prohibited Items

You may not list, buy, or sell any of the following on DiscandDeck:

• Counterfeit goods, bootlegs, unauthorized copies, pirated movies, burned media discs, or reproduction cartridges represented as originals.
• Video game consoles, handheld systems, memory cards, or hard drives pre-loaded with pirated games, ROMs, or unauthorized software.
• Stolen property, items you do not physically own, or items illegal to possess or transfer.
• Standalone digital download codes, redeemable account credentials, or software licenses. DiscandDeck is exclusively for physical media and hardware.
• Non-working, defective, or "for parts / not working" items of any kind. All listed items must be in fully functional, working condition.

9. User Conduct & Messaging Rules

• Do not share personal phone numbers, email addresses, external links, or payment handles in public Q&A sections or private order messaging.
• Do not post misleading, false, or deceptive content, fake reviews, or non-genuine feedback ratings.
• Do not harass, abuse, threaten, or discriminate against any user or staff member.
• Do not scrape, overload, probe, bypass rate limits, or disrupt the operation, security, or fee structures of DiscandDeck.

10. User Content & Intellectual Property

You retain ownership of photos, text descriptions, messages, and feedback ratings that you post to DiscandDeck. You grant DiscandDeck a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual license to host, display, reproduce, modify, and distribute your posted content solely to operate, market, and promote the marketplace. You represent that you hold all necessary rights to any photos or content you upload.

15. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of South Dakota, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.
