The agreement between you and us.

Sawtooth Consignment — Nampa, Idaho · [email protected]
Effective May 6, 2026 · Version 1.1

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Sawtooth Consignment service (the "Service"), operated by Sawtooth Consignment ("we," "us," or "our"), a small business located in Nampa, Idaho. By creating an account, submitting cards, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms in full. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age and legally capable of entering into a binding contract in your jurisdiction to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements. We do not knowingly collect information from or provide services to persons under the age of 18. If we become aware that a user is under 18, we will terminate their account.

2. The Service

Sawtooth Consignment is a sports card and Pokémon card consignment service. We list your cards on eBay as auctions, handle listing creation, photography, buyer communication, packing, and shipping, and pay you a share of each completed sale. We are not a grading service, authentication service, or card dealer; we act solely as your consignment agent for purposes of listing and selling on eBay.

3. Consignment Terms

3.1 Ownership and Authorization

• You retain ownership of your cards until they are sold.
• Once a card is listed, you authorize us to accept the highest bid received, subject to any reserve price agreed to in writing in advance.
• You represent and warrant that: (a) you are the lawful owner of all cards you consign; (b) the cards are not stolen, subject to any lien, claim, or dispute; and (c) the cards are not counterfeits, reproductions, or otherwise misrepresented.
• If a card is later found to be counterfeit, stolen, or misrepresented, you agree to indemnify us fully for any resulting losses, costs, buyer refunds, or legal fees.

3.2 Cards Processed As Received — No Alteration Policy

WE PROCESS ALL CARDS EXACTLY AS WE RECEIVE THEM. This means:

• We will NOT remove price stickers, labels, tape, or any other adhesive material applied to your cards before submission.
• We will NOT clean, polish, press, alter, trim, or otherwise physically modify your cards in any way.
• We will NOT remove protective sleeves, top loaders, or holders unless necessary for photography, at which point we handle your cards with standard reasonable care.
• Any sticker, marking, damage, defect, or condition present on a card when we receive it will be reflected in the listing photos and, where material, in the listing description.
• We photograph cards in the condition received. Our photography represents the card's condition at the time of intake. We are not responsible for any buyer disputes arising from pre-existing conditions, stickers, or markings that were present on the card when you submitted it.

In plain terms: if you hand us a card with a $0.50 sticker on it, we will photograph and list it with that sticker on it. It is your responsibility to prepare your cards before submission.

3.3 Unsalable, Ineligible, and Returned Cards

• Cards we determine to be counterfeit, damaged beyond reasonable listing, in violation of eBay policies, or otherwise ineligible will be flagged and you will be notified.
• You may elect to have ineligible cards returned to you. Return shipping costs are your responsibility and will be deducted from your balance or invoiced to you directly.
• If we cannot reach you within 30 days regarding an ineligible card, we reserve the right to dispose of the card at our discretion.
• Cards that receive no bids during their auction period are subject to a $2.00 listing fee per card. These cards are not automatically returned; you must request return and pay return shipping costs.

3.4 Listing Format and Scheduling

• The format, duration, starting price, reserve (if any), and scheduling of all auctions are at our sole discretion unless otherwise agreed in writing.
• Once a card is listed, we may not be able to cancel or retract the listing prior to sale. You should not submit cards you may wish to reclaim on short notice.
• We do not guarantee any specific sale price, sale timeline, or buyer for any card.

3.5 eBay Platform Compliance — Prohibited Practices

Because all sales are conducted through eBay, both we and our consignors are bound by eBay's User Agreement and Seller Policies. We take this obligation seriously and enforce it without exception.

THE FOLLOWING PRACTICES ARE STRICTLY PROHIBITED AND CONSTITUTE AN IMMEDIATE BREACH OF THESE TERMS:

• Shill Bidding — You may not bid on your own listings, direct friends, family members, or any associated accounts to bid on your listings, or engage in any coordinated bidding activity intended to artificially inflate a sale price. Shill bidding is a violation of eBay's policies and may constitute fraud under applicable law.
• Bid Manipulation — You may not contact buyers directly to influence, retract, or negotiate bids outside of eBay's platform.
• Feedback Manipulation — You may not offer incentives, payments, or threats in exchange for positive feedback, or retaliate against buyers who leave neutral or negative feedback.
• Listing Misrepresentation — You may not request that we describe a card in a way that is inaccurate, misleading, or omits material defects. We will list cards accurately and honestly as required by eBay policy and applicable consumer protection law.
• Off-Platform Transactions — You may not use information about buyers obtained through our eBay listings to contact those buyers and solicit transactions outside of eBay.
• Any Other eBay Policy Violation — You may not request or encourage us to take any action that would violate eBay's then-current User Agreement, Seller Policies, or Listing Policies.

If we receive a request from a consignor that we believe would violate eBay's policies, we will refuse it. If a consignor engages in or is found to have engaged in any prohibited practice above, we reserve the right to:

• Immediately suspend or terminate the consignor's account;
• Cancel any active listings associated with the consignor;
• Withhold payouts pending investigation;
• Report the conduct to eBay and, where legally required, to relevant authorities; and
• Seek indemnification for any losses, fines, penalties, or account restrictions imposed on us by eBay as a result of the consignor's conduct.

In plain terms: we run a clean, honest operation. We will not inflate bids, misrepresent cards, or help you game the system in any way. Any request to do so ends the relationship immediately.

4. Fees and Your Share

Our current fee structure is as follows. All fees are deducted from your proceeds before payout.

• The listing fee is deducted from your share per card sold (or per unsold card).
• We reserve the right to update our fee structure. Any changes will be communicated to active consignors with at least 30 days' advance notice. The fee rate in effect at the time your package is received by us is the rate that applies to your submission.

5. Payouts

• Payouts are processed through Stripe, a third-party payment platform. To receive a payout, you must connect a valid Stripe account or complete Stripe's onboarding process as directed. We are not responsible for any delays, holds, restrictions, or denials imposed by Stripe on your account.
• Stripe's own Terms of Service and Privacy Policy govern your use of their platform. By using our Service, you acknowledge that your payout is subject to Stripe's terms, which are separate from ours.
• You may request a payout of your available balance at any time. We will initiate the transfer within 1–2 business days; however, the time for funds to appear in your account depends on Stripe's processing schedule and is outside our control.
• If you fail to connect a valid Stripe account or your Stripe account becomes restricted or inactive, we will hold your available balance for up to 90 days while we attempt to reach you. After 90 days of no valid payout method and no response, your balance may be subject to applicable Idaho unclaimed property law.
• You must provide accurate account information through Stripe's onboarding process. We are not responsible for funds directed to an incorrect account resulting from information you provided.
• For U.S. tax purposes, Stripe may issue a Form 1099-K directly to you if your annual proceeds meet IRS reporting thresholds. You agree to complete any tax documentation required by Stripe. We are not responsible for Stripe's tax reporting obligations or errors.

6. Shipping and Risk of Loss

6.1 Shipping Cards to Us

• You bear the entire risk of loss or damage while your cards are in transit to us. We are not liable for any damage, loss, theft, or delay that occurs during shipping to our facility, regardless of the carrier used.
• We strongly recommend using USPS tracked packaging or a fully insured shipment. If you choose to ship without insurance, you do so at your own risk.
• If a package arrives visibly damaged, we will document the condition with photographs upon receipt. We will notify you promptly.

6.2 Shipping Cards to Buyers — Carrier Liability Disclaimer

ONCE WE DELIVER A PACKAGE TO THE POSTAL SERVICE OR OTHER CARRIER FOR SHIPMENT TO A BUYER, WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, DELAY, OR MISDELIVERY CAUSED BY THE CARRIER.

• We pack all sold cards with reasonable care using appropriate protective materials.
• Damage, loss, or delay that occurs after we hand a package to USPS, UPS, FedEx, or any other carrier is the sole responsibility of the carrier and is not attributable to Sawtooth Consignment.
• We will assist you in filing a carrier insurance claim if insurance was purchased, but we do not guarantee reimbursement from the carrier, and we are not liable for any carrier denial of a claim.
• We will not issue refunds or additional payouts to you based on buyer complaints arising solely from carrier damage or loss after the package left our possession.

In plain terms: Once USPS (or another carrier) picks up the package, it is in their hands. Any damage that happens in the mail is between you, the buyer, and the postal carrier. We are not responsible for what happens after we drop it off.

6.3 Drop-Off — Damage Disclaimer

IF YOU DELIVER CARDS TO US IN PERSON (DROP-OFF), THE FOLLOWING APPLIES:

• We will document the condition of cards at the time of intake where reasonably practicable.
• We are not responsible for any pre-existing damage, defects, or conditions present on cards at the time of drop-off.
• You acknowledge that sports cards are inherently fragile collectibles and that normal handling during the listing and photography process may carry inherent risk. We exercise reasonable care but cannot guarantee zero incidental contact or movement.
• Claims of damage allegedly caused by us during drop-off must be raised within 48 hours of drop-off, must be supported by clear evidence that the damage was not pre-existing, and are subject to our review at our sole discretion.

7. Our Care of Your Cards While in Our Possession

• While your cards are physically in our possession and not in transit, we will maintain reasonable care to protect them from foreseeable harm.
• We are not liable for losses resulting from events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: fire, flood, natural disaster, power outage, burglary, or other force majeure events.
• We do not carry insurance on consigned inventory on your behalf. If you wish to insure your cards for their full value while in our possession, you are responsible for obtaining your own coverage.
• Our maximum liability for any damage to your cards while in our possession (excluding carrier transit) is limited as described in Section 11 (Limitation of Liability) below.

8. Account Responsibilities

• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You agree not to share your password or allow others to access your account.
• You must provide accurate and complete information when creating your account and keep it up to date.
• One account per person. Automated accounts, bots, and shared accounts are prohibited.
• You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.
• We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, engage in fraud, or whose users engage in abusive, threatening, or harassing behavior toward our team.

9. Intellectual Property

All photographs, listings, copy, and content created by Sawtooth Consignment in connection with the Service are our property. You may not reproduce, copy, or use our listing photography or content without our express written permission. Nothing in these Terms grants you any rights in our brand, trademarks, or other intellectual property.

10. Electronic Communications

By creating an account and using the Service, you consent to receive electronic communications from us, including emails, account notifications, and payout confirmations. You agree that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that communications be in writing.

11. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Note: Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. If you are in such a state, some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Sawtooth Consignment, its owners, employees, agents, and representatives from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your breach of these Terms; (b) your misrepresentation regarding ownership or authenticity of consigned cards; (c) any third-party claim arising from a card you consigned being counterfeit, stolen, or infringing any third-party rights; (d) your violation of any applicable law; or (e) any eBay policy violation you directed, requested, or caused us to commit.

• We will pay out your remaining available balance upon termination in accordance with our normal payout process.

• These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Idaho, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions.
• Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Canyon County, Idaho. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts.
• Before initiating any legal proceeding, you agree to first contact us at [email protected] and give us 30 days to attempt to resolve the dispute informally. We agree to respond within that period.

15. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will: (a) post the updated Terms with a new effective date; and (b) notify active consignors by email at least 30 days before the changes take effect for material changes. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to revised Terms, you must stop using the Service and notify us so we can return your cards and pay out your balance.

16. Miscellaneous
