Sec. 01 · Deal types
Two ways to deal.
Buy/Sell
Cards one way. One fee.
For deals where cards are being bought or sold.
One SecureDeal fee, based on the total declared value of the cards being sent, charged to whoever books the deal.
Trade
Cards both ways. One fee each, from the total.
For deals where both parties are exchanging cards, with or without money added.
Each party pays the same SecureDeal fee, based on the total declared value of the cards being traded.
Sec. 02 · How it works
Six steps. Both of you see every one.

Sec. 03 · Fees
Fixed fees. Not a percentage.
Buy/Sell
Cards one way. One fee.
One SecureDeal fee, based on the total declared value of the cards being sent, charged to whoever books the deal. If the two parties want to split the cost between themselves, that's their own arrangement.

Trade

Adding money to a trade does not change how the SecureDeal fee is calculated. The fee is based on the total declared value of the cards being traded, and each party pays the same fee.
Worked example
You send £4,000 of cards and the other party sends £1,500. The total trade value is £5,500, so the fee is £75 each (£150 in total).
If the other party also pays you £2,500 as part of the deal, the fees stay £75 each.
Your SecureDeal fee is paid as soon as you agree. Shipping and insurance are priced once Rippex has checked and weighed the real parcel, and are charged separately at cost to whoever is receiving it.
Sec. 04 · The principle
We hold the cards.
Never the cash.
Rippex never holds or moves the money side of a deal. Money is paid directly between the two of you, and whoever is owed it confirms it has arrived in their hub before the cards are released. The only payment Rippex takes on the deal itself is its fixed fee. Shipping and insurance for cards we send on are charged separately, at cost.
Verified with photographs
Every card is verified against what was declared, with photographs both parties can see.
Nothing leaves early
Nothing is sent on until the deal's conditions are met. You both see the verification before anything moves.
Money moves directly
Rippex never holds or moves the cash side of a deal. Money is paid directly between the two of you, and whoever is owed it confirms it has arrived in their hub before the cards are released.
Tracked where it counts
We recommend a tracked, insured service when you send cards to us. Every parcel Rippex sends out is tracked, and you can both follow it in your hub.
Sec. 05 · The deal in your hub
Both of you. One view.
You both follow the deal in your hub: the agreement, the checks with photographs, tracking for every parcel, and the payment confirmation step.
The other party gets an email invite to review and agree the deal. It stays open for 14 days.
