We can’t guarantee restocks, but we do take customer demand seriously.


 

 AUCTIONS (TIMED & LIVE CHATBID)

How do I register for auctions?

Just create an account and ensure you have a valid payment method saved.

What happens if I win an auction and don’t pay?

Payment is typically processed automatically.

If a payment fails:

  1. You’ll receive a link to update your method

  2. You’ll have a short grace window

  3. Failing to update may result in:

    • Account restrictions

    • Being banned from future auctions

    • The item being offered to the runner-up bidder

Can I retract a bid?

No — all bids are final.

Do auctions allow snipes?

Some auctions use soft-close, meaning last-second bids extend the timer.

What is the buyer’s premium?

If applicable, it will be displayed on the auction page. (Many Redzone auctions do not charge a buyer premium, but your setup may include it.)

What if the auction page freezes or glitches?

Your last submitted bid still counts as long as it reached our server.

If technical difficulties occur, contact support and provide:

  • Auction item

  • Time of issue

  • Screenshot or description

We cannot cancel or reverse auctions due to local device glitches.


 

CARD CONDITION, AUTHENTICITY & GRADING

What is the condition of raw cards?

Raw singles are visually inspected and assigned rough descriptors like:

  • Near Mint

  • Lightly Played

  • Moderately Played

  • Heavily Played

Do you guarantee PSA/BGS/CGC grades?

No. Raw cards are sold as-is with no grade guarantees.

What if I disagree with the condition once it arrives?

If the condition matches the listing photos/description, the sale is final.

If you believe you received:

  • The wrong card

  • A damaged card

  • A card not matching the listing

Email support with photos and we will resolve the issue.

Are your sealed products legit?

Yes. All sealed products come from:

  • Official distributors

  • Certified partners

  • Verified suppliers
