Marketplaces like eBay take high fees on every transaction, so social media has become the best place to make deals without losing a percentage of every sale.
But avoiding marketplace fees comes with a new problem: there’s no built-in protection.
Even honest collectors are forced to take big risks every time they make a deal online.
Collectors use social media because they’re smart enough to avoid marketplace fees. They just shouldn’t have to choose between high fees and staying safe. That’s why protection matters.
Social media is the right place to find great deals — it just wasn’t built to protect them.
Get Protected TodayYou don’t need a new marketplace or a new place to find buyers and sellers — you just need protection once a deal is made
Meet a collector the same way you always do — in Facebook groups, Instagram, Discord, Twitter/X, forums, or anywhere else.
Both people are identity-verified — no aliases, no cloned accounts, no throwaway profiles.
And there’s one more piece collectors love:
You avoid the high marketplace fees that everyone hates — and you still get full protection.
Our ID + biometric verification makes it impossible for scammers to create fake or second accounts.
No cloned accounts. No alias throwaway profiles. No restarting under a new name.

For less than the cost of a couple packs of toploaders, you protect the entire transaction — not just the card.
Serious collectors do both: protect the card and protect the deal.
