How the exchange works

stashtab is a B2B wholesale exchange for sealed trading-card product. Retailers trade allocation imbalances with each other — and every trade is protected end to end by stashtab holding the buyer's funds until delivery is confirmed.

A trade, step by step

  1. 1. List a sealed lot
    A verified, payout-eligible retailer lists excess sealed product against a canonical catalog SKU as an indivisible, fixed-price lot — whole-lot, no partial fills.
  2. 2. Buyer pays at checkout
    A buyer reviews the lot, gets a live freight quote, and pays through Stripe-hosted checkout. Tax is calculated and collected at checkout.
  3. 3. stashtab holds the funds
    Your payment is captured and held by stashtab — buyer protection, not released to the seller yet. The seller is paid only after delivery is confirmed and the inspection window passes.
  4. 4. Freight is booked
    Once the seller marks the lot packed, stashtab books the freight pickup and you get tracking. Freight is passed through to the buyer at cost.
  5. 5. Delivery + 48-hour inspection
    When the carrier confirms delivery, a 48-hour inspection window opens. If the lot is wrong, damaged, or not as described, the buyer can open a dispute in that window and the payout is paused.
  6. 6. Funds release to the seller
    If the inspection window passes with no open dispute — or the buyer confirms delivery early — stashtab releases the funds to the seller. A trade with an open dispute is resolved by the stashtab ops team over evidence from both sides.

Who can trade at launch

stashtab launches for verified retailers trading sealed product, in US dollars. Sellers complete Stripe identity verification and become payout-eligible before they can list. Buying is gated on the same verification at checkout.
