Products, Listings, and Pricing
Accuracy of Listings
Double Holo is a peer-to-peer marketplace for Pokémon® cards and related collectibles. Sellers are responsible for the accuracy of their listings, including the product title, description, condition, authenticity, quantity, photos, and price of each item. Double Holo strives to keep the Platform's information as accurate and up-to-date as possible, but we do not guarantee that any product listing, price, description, or other content is error-free, complete, or current.
Not as Described
If you purchase an item and find that it is not as described in the listing (for example, you receive the wrong item, the condition is substantially worse than stated, or the item is inauthentic), your sole remedy is to report the issue to Double Holo's Customer Support and follow our Return/Refund process. All claims for items not as described, missing, or damaged in transit must be submitted within 14 days of delivery, or within 14 days of the expected delivery date if the item never arrived.
Pricing and Fees
Prices for products are set by individual sellers (or agreed between traders in a trade) and are listed in U.S. dollars. Unless otherwise noted, the price of an item does not include shipping charges, taxes, or payment processing fees. Double Holo currently charges a marketplace commission fee of 6.9% with a $1.50 minimum to the seller on each completed sale of an item (one of the lowest fees in the industry). This means sellers pay whichever is greater: 6.9% of the sale price or $1.50.
Product Condition and Authenticity
Sellers must accurately represent the condition of items (e.g., Mint, Near Mint, Light Play, etc.) according to any condition guidelines provided by Double Holo. All items offered for sale or trade must be 100% authentic, genuine Pokémon cards as outlined in our Anti-Counterfeiting & Authenticity Compliance section above. The sale or trade of counterfeit cards, replica cards, proxy cards, fake merchandise, unlicensed products, or any item that infringes intellectual property rights is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate account suspension.
By listing an item on Double Holo, you certify that:
- The item is 100% authentic and genuine
- You have the legal right to sell the item
- Your description and photos accurately represent the actual item
- You will cooperate with any authenticity verification requests
Marketplace Transaction Types
Available Transaction Methods:
- Fixed-Price Sales ("Buy It Now")
- Bid/Ask Marketplace (Live Order Book)
- Timed Auctions
- Trading and Escrow System (Card-for-Card Trades)
A. Fixed-Price Sales
Most items on Double Holo can be purchased at a fixed price set by the seller. When you purchase an item at the listed price, you are entering into a binding contract to pay for that item. Sellers must not list items that they do not have in their possession or that they are not prepared to ship promptly.
B. Bid/Ask Marketplace
Double Holo provides a bid/ask trading system for certain products, allowing users to place binding offers to buy or sell at specified prices. This system functions similar to a stock exchange order book. Bids and Asks are binding commitments, and automatic matching creates instant transactions.
C. Auctions
Double Holo allows sellers to list items in a timed auction format. By placing a bid in an auction, you agree to purchase the item at that bid price if you are the highest bidder when the auction ends. Auction bids are binding and cannot be retracted except in very limited circumstances.
D. Trading and Escrow System
Double Holo offers a unique Trade Marketplace with middleman escrow service. Each party in a trade will be charged a Trade Escrow Service Fee calculated as the greater of 2.5% of their item's estimated trade value or a $2.50 minimum per party (or 1.8% with a $1.80 minimum per party for subscribers). This means if you trade an item valued at $50, you pay $2.50 (not $1.25), whereas an item valued at $200 incurs a $5.00 fee. Both parties must ship their items to our middleman service for authentication and verification before items are forwarded to their final destinations. By initiating or accepting a trade, you agree to pay the Trade Escrow Service Fee regardless of whether the trade is completed, canceled, or disputed.
Trade Escrow Fee Examples:
- Standard User trading $50 card: Fee = max(2.5% of $50, $2.50) = max($1.25, $2.50) = $2.50
- Standard User trading $200 card: Fee = max(2.5% of $200, $2.50) = max($5.00, $2.50) = $5.00
- Subscriber trading $50 card: Fee = max(1.8% of $50, $1.80) = max($0.90, $1.80) = $1.80
- Subscriber trading $200 card: Fee = max(1.8% of $200, $1.80) = max($3.60, $1.80) = $3.60
Important: Each party pays their own fee based on their item's value. In a trade between two parties, both fees apply independently. Estimated trade values are determined by Double Holo's market data and pricing algorithms at the time the trade is initiated.
Fees and Subscription Membership
Fee Summary:
- Seller Commission:6.9% ($1.50 min)
- Trade Escrow Fee (Standard):2.5% ($2.50 min per party)
- Trade Escrow Fee (Subscribers):1.8% ($1.80 min per party)
- Listing Fees:Free
- Buyer Fees:None
Seller Commission: The greater of 6.9% of the sale price or $1.50. For example, a $10 sale incurs a $1.50 fee (not $0.69), while a $100 sale incurs a $6.90 fee.
Trade Escrow Fee: Each party pays the greater of the percentage (2.5% standard or 1.8% subscriber) of their item's estimated trade value or the minimum fee ($2.50 standard or $1.80 subscriber). Both parties in a trade pay their respective fees independently. For example, in a standard trade of a $50 card for a $200 card, Party A pays $2.50 (the minimum) and Party B pays $5.00 (2.5% of $200).
Subscription Membership
Double Holo offers an optional membership program for $4.99 per month. Subscribers receive:
- Reduced Trade Escrow Fee (1.8% with $1.80 minimum instead of 2.5% with $2.50 minimum)

Shipping Labels and Fulfillment
Integrated Shipping Label Service
Double Holo offers an optional integrated shipping label service that allows sellers to purchase discounted shipping labels directly through the Platform. When you purchase a shipping label through Double Holo (powered by our shipping partner Shippo), you will be charged Double Holo's posted rate for that shipping service.
How Shipping Labels Work:
- Rate Display: The shipping rate displayed at checkout is the total amount you will be charged for the label, including all carrier costs and Double Holo's service fee.
- Service Fee: Double Holo charges a small service fee (currently $0.15 per label) in addition to the base carrier rate. This fee covers platform processing costs, API integration fees, customer support for shipping issues, and administrative overhead.
- Total Transparency: The final price you see when purchasing a label is the complete amount you will be charged - there are no additional hidden fees.
- Completely Optional: You are never required to use Double Holo's shipping label service. You may purchase shipping labels independently through USPS, UPS, FedEx, or any carrier of your choice.
Example Pricing
If USPS Priority Mail costs $8.00 from the carrier, Double Holo's shipping label service charges you $8.15 ($8.00 base carrier rate + $0.15 service fee). The $8.15 is the price displayed before you click "Purchase Label."
This service fee model is standard across marketplace platforms and allows us to provide discounted carrier rates, instant label generation, tracking integration, and shipping support to our sellers.
Mandatory Shipping Requirements by Order Value
To protect both buyers and sellers, Double Holo enforces mandatory shipping requirements based on transaction value:
High-Value Transaction Requirements
Orders & Trades $40.00 and above:
- Tracked Shipping Required: Must include a tracking number (USPS, UPS, FedEx, etc.)
- Untracked shipping methods (such as PWE with stamp only) are prohibited
Orders & Trades $500.00 and above:
- Signature Confirmation Required: Recipient must sign upon delivery
- Full Insurance Required: Must be insured for the complete transaction value
- Tracked Shipping Required: Must include tracking number
- Payout hold extended to 14 days (vs 7 days for orders under $500)
Example Enforcement:
- A $600 order MUST have signature confirmation, tracking, and $600 insurance
- A $75 order MUST have tracking but signature/insurance are optional (though recommended)
- A $25 order may use untracked shipping (though tracking is recommended)
⚠️ Important: Seller Liability
If you fail to meet mandatory shipping requirements (tracking for $40+, signature/insurance for $500+), you will NOT be eligible for seller protection in the event of delivery disputes, lost packages, or buyer claims. Violating these requirements may result in automatic refunds to buyers and account suspension.
General Shipping Requirements for All Sellers
Regardless of how you obtain your shipping label (through Double Holo or independently), sellers must:
- Ship items within 3 business days of receiving payment (unless otherwise stated in listing)
- Package items securely to prevent damage during transit
- Use appropriate packaging materials for the item type (card savers, toploaders, bubble mailers, etc.)
- Provide accurate tracking information to buyers (for orders $40+)
- Comply with mandatory insurance and signature requirements for high-value transactions ($500+)
- Ship to the address provided by the buyer through the Platform
Shipping Disputes and Lost Packages
If a package is lost, damaged, or stolen in transit:
- Sellers who purchased labels through Double Holo may file insurance claims directly through the Platform
- For labels purchased independently, sellers must work directly with their chosen carrier
- Buyers should report non-delivery within 14 days of the expected delivery date
- Double Holo will assist in resolving shipping disputes but is not liable for carrier errors, delays, or lost packages
- Sellers remain responsible for ensuring items reach buyers, regardless of carrier issues
Recommendation: For items valued between $100-$500, we strongly recommend (but do not require) purchasing shipping insurance and signature confirmation to protect both parties. Items $500+ automatically require both insurance and signature confirmation as stated above.
