To sell products on RcadeTrade.com (the “Site”), you must agree to the marketplace seller agreement outlined below. This includes our privacy policy and any other terms and conditions on RcadeTrade. The terms and conditions of this agreement are binding for anybody listing an item for sale or purchasing an item on RcadeTrade. This marketplace seller agreement will change without notice. Changes to this agreement are effective when it is published, noted in "Last Updated" by the agreement title. Continuing to sell on RcadeTrade will re-establish your agreement to the latest version of the seller agreement.
RcadeTrade.com is an online marketplace that allows 3rd party sellers to sell their items to buyers. RcadeTrade does not represent either the buyer or the seller. RcadeTrade.com is solely the platform for transactions to take place.
You must be at least 18 old to purchase or sell goods or items on the Site, and be able to lawfully enter into a contract. RcadeTrade seller applications are manually approved, and can be applied through the account dashboard. By applying as an RcadeTrade seller, you agree to this marketplace seller agreement.
Completing your seller account requires the seller to create a Stripe account. There will be a link provided to the seller through email and on the account settings page. Your Stripe account will be connected to RcadeTrade's Stripe account, and it will be nessessary to provide your bank information to Stripe. RcadeTrade never has access to this information. RcadeTrade uses your connected Stripe account to payout sellers for their successful orders, as well as charge the seller for shipping labels purchased through the order management page.
Every item sold through the marketplace is subject to selling fees. RcadeTrade charges a percentage of the sale price as the selling fee, with the fee structure outlined here. Sellers are responsible for fees, and RcadeTrade will automatically withdraw the fee amount from sale earnings. The published fee structure on the day of a sale is what will be applied to that sale. RcadeTrade's fee structure can change without notice, and will be reflected in the fee structure guide.
RcadeTrade requires that all communications between buyers and sellers are kept on the Site. Do not contact customers directly unless responding to a question, addressing a complaint, or reporting a change in the status of an order. You are also required to notify RcadeTrade when the status of the order has been changed. A change of order status could mean: refunding an order, canceling an order, or an item is missing from their order. There may be other situations where you may find it necessary to contact a customer, such as a package being returned or an error in shipping address. When you ship an item, an automatic email will be sent to your customer informing them, so it is not necessary to alert them directly.
Please regularly check your messages and respond to your customers as soon as possible. All customer issues related to the RcadeTrade marketplace must be resolved within 48 hrs.
Sellers are prohibited from listing or selling items that: violate intellectual property rights or are illegal, fake, counterfeit, or stolen. Sellers may be limited in a manner that allows them to make a certain amount of transactions within a given time at the sole discretion of RcadeTrade. RcadeTrade reserves the right to refuse service to anyone at any time for any reason.
Products listed for sale must be listed on the correct product page and an accurate description of the product must be given.
RcadeTrade determines which products to offer for sale in the marketplace. Products may be added or removed at any time without notice. Changes to the item detail pages of a product and the way listings appear to users in the marketplace can also take place without notice.
By listing an item in our marketplace you agree that you legally can sell the item, it is in your possession and the description provided is accurate. Drop shipping and selling items not physically in possession is not permitted. Sellers are required to follow RcadeTrade's shipping guidelines. Failure to do so could end with the termination of your account.
You and any individuals that have access to your RcadeTrade account must keep any buyer information received confidential and secure.

If you store buyer information anywhere outside of the RcadeTrade Seller Dashboard, you must store that information securely.
You may not share, sell, rent, or distribute buyer information to a third party. You may not use buyer information except as necessary to complete the transaction. You may not use buyer information to market to buyers, unless you obtain prior consent before doing so.
You must create a Stripe account and provide bank account information for an account in the U.S. in order to receive payments. All payments will be made in U.S. Dollars. After a sale is finalized, the net proceeds will be sent to your Stripe account. A sale is finalized when an order recieves positive feedback, or 14 days after the order's expected delivery date. The funds in your Stripe account will be automatically transferred on a daily rolling basis to your linked bank account. Any refunds to buyers and seller fees will be debited from your connected account.
If RcadeTrade concludes that a seller's actions or performance in relation to the marketplace could result in buyer disputes, chargebacks or other claims, then we may delay or withhold any payments to be made or that are otherwise due to you until completion of any investigations.
RcadeTrade sellers do not individually collect sales tax. RcadeTrade collects and remits sales tax on behalf of our sellers.
RcadeTrade will automatically collect tax for orders placed in states that collect sales tax. Sales tax is calculated at checkout based on the buyers shipping zip code. When a buyer places orders from multiple vendors, each order will be taxed at the rate based on the buyers shipping address.
Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon do not collect sales tax.
You must accept and process returns for all of your products. Refunds and adjustments must be completed in accordance with the RcadeTrade return policy published at the time of the order. Customers are not charged a restocking or refund processing fee. Using the functionality of your account, you will calculate the amount of all refunds in connection with RcadeTrade purchases and will route all such payments to buyers through RcadeTrade. RcadeTrade will provide payments to the buyers and you will reimburse us for all amounts paid. These payments may be in the same form originally used to purchase your product.
We may offset such payments against any amounts to be paid to seller by RcadeTrade under this marketplace agreement or seek reimbursement from seller via any of the means authorized under this marketplace agreement. You will promptly provide refunds that you are obligated to provide under the RcadeTrade Refund and Return policy within thirty (30) days.
