♥ How do auctions work?
Please only list special or rare collectables in auctions. Sellers list what they’re offering, and buyers can request quotes or place bids. Auctions help ensure special and rare collectables are traded fairly.
♥ What is a reverse auction?
If you’re looking for a specific collectable, you can create a reverse auction by listing the item you need. Sellers make offers, and you choose the best one. It’s a great way to get exactly what you want while giving Providers a chance to offer their items.
♥ How can I trade with other collectors?
You can message the seller of a collectable to ask questions or propose a trade. Please follow Boxy Buddies’ Terms of Service (any inappropriate transactions may result in the listing or account being removed).
♥ When will I get paid?
Your payout happens in one of two ways: The buyer marks the order as received, or the order automatically completes 14 days after you mark it as delivered or shipped. This applies to normal and price-negotiated purchases.
♥ How do I check when the money will arrive?
Yes! In your Stripe dashboard, you can check the estimated arrival date for each payout: Go to Payments, Open the payment, Click Transfer destination and Check Payouts → Estimated Arrival.
♥ How does online payment processing work on Boxy Buddies?
Boxy Buddies uses Stripe Connect to securely process online payments, handle identity verification (KYC), manage commissions, and pay out sellers. This allows us to operate as a global marketplace while meeting strict financial and regulatory requirements. Stripe will transfer the money to your bank account. It usually takes 5-10 business days, plus any extra time your bank may need to process it. With Stripe, buyers can checkout with confidence, knowing their payments are secure, while sellers receive funds directly to their bank accounts through Stripe’s reliable payout system. This ensures fast, secure, and compliant transactions every step of the way.
