TCGCove provides the platform to connect collectors for peer-to-peer card-for-card trades. TCGCove does not physically inspect, hold, guarantee, or insure the cards exchanged.
You are responsible for reviewing card details, condition, grading, photos, and the final trade contents before accepting. Trade only with users you trust and use tracked shipping when available.
Keep all trade communication inside TCGCove. Messages, counters, and shipping details are preserved as evidence if a problem is reported. Trade chats are saved and kept for 1 year, or longer while a report or dispute on that trade is open. TCGCove cannot investigate off-platform arrangements.
If a card is wrong, damaged, not as described, or you suspect a counterfeit or slab issue, use Report a Trade Issue from the trade right away. TCGCove cannot guarantee recovery but can review evidence and restrict accounts that abuse the system.
TCGCove may restrict or suspend accounts that repeatedly cancel after acceptance, fail to ship, misrepresent cards, attempt duplicate grading certificates, spam proposals, or otherwise abuse the trade system. New traders have a limited outgoing-proposal cap until they build history.
