Service terms

Mr. Mom consignment service terms — September 29, 2026 (version 2026-09-29-v1). You retain ownership of your items until sold. We record receipt, condition, item counts and discrepancies before listing. You approve the inspected inventory, individual items or lot composition, channel and minimum prices. No sale below your approved minimum or change of lot composition without renewed approval. A sale to Mr. Mom or a related party requires separate disclosure and your approval. The selling fee applies separately to each sold item or approved lot: 20% of the first $500 of item price, 15% of the next $2,000, and 10% above $2,500. These are marginal tiers, rounded once to the nearest cent. A $500 sale leaves $400 to you; $1,000 leaves $825; $5,000 leaves $4,350. Sales tax and buyer-paid shipping are not part of the item-price base. The fee includes ordinary marketplace/payment fees, listing work, photographs, buyer support, standard packing and fulfillment. Buyer shipping receipts offset our fulfillment costs; ordinary cost overruns reduce our margin, not your agreed proceeds. The accepted fee schedule cannot be changed retroactively. Board games must be factory-sealed or opened but complete. Include the title, edition, seal status, component completeness and box condition; incomplete games are not accepted. You pay shipping to Mr. Mom and prepay return shipping and agreed coverage for unsold items, unless we agree to an exception in writing before shipment. We confirm packing, carrier and costs before you ship. Collections estimated above $1,000 are flagged for inbound-shipping waiver review; a waiver is not automatic and must be stated in the proposal. Inbound shipping arranged by us, optional grading and unusual transport require a separate dollar quote and your approval before commitment. No automatic intake fee or unapproved expense. Those separately quoted costs are not automatically deducted from proceeds. Lower-value items are reviewed for sensible lots or return; the collection-review guide is $250 and the individual-listing guide is $100, subject to handling time and suitability, not a hard eligibility promise. Optional paid promotion: choose this service separately when accepting your proposal. For your eBay listings, we use a 3% General campaign ad rate to seek additional visibility. If eBay assesses a General advertising fee, our additional fee is 5% of the item's sale price, excluding sales tax and buyer shipping. It covers advertising and campaign management, not a 5% advertising budget. We absorb the actual General advertising charge rather than deducting it again. No assessed General ad fee means no add-on fee. No sale means no add-on fee. Promotion may help find a buyer sooner; sale timing, sale price and faster payout are not guaranteed. Ordinary delivery and settlement holds still apply. Partial item refunds reduce the add-on proportionally using the remaining item price; a full item refund or full reversal of the General ad charge reverses the add-on. No Priority or Offsite campaign is authorized by this choice. This choice applies only to this agreement's eBay listings and does not change already accepted agreements. Eight-week selling cycle: reduce the asking price by 5% on days 14, 28 and 42, compounded from the original price and never below your approved minimum. At day 56 choose one mutually agreed eight-week renewal at a reevaluated market price, prepaid return, or discuss a separate buyout. No automatic renewal or disposal. The clock starts on the first actual live fixed-price listing date for each item. Approve the complete schedule and payout floor with inspected inventory. We prepare reminders at days 42 and 49 and stop selling authority at day 56. Marketplace changes require owner execution and verification. Renewal needs your explicit approval of new pricing and promotion choice. A direct buyout requires separate acceptance and verified payment, with no additional selling or promotion fee. Return shipping and agreed coverage are prepaid; target dispatch is five business days after payment, address verification and clearance of buyer commitments. No response does not authorize continued selling, a buyout or disposal. You may request return of unsold items; active listings must first be withdrawn and existing buyer commitments resolved. Agree return shipping and a dispatch date before return. No commission on unsold items, automatic disposal, donation or forfeiture. Payout eligibility requires confirmed settlement, delivery, the agreed delivery hold and no open dispute affecting that sale. Eligible undisputed proceeds can be paid without waiting for the entire collection. The standard hold is 14 days after delivery; later claims can still occur. We process eligible, undisputed payouts on Mondays. Your payment provider determines when funds arrive. We record the transfer reference and provide a statement; a pending payout record does not mean money has been transferred. Refunds reduce item proceeds and reverse the corresponding selling fee by recalculating the tiers on the remaining item price. Shipping refunds, fee credits and ordinary return costs affect our margin. We show adjustments and keep earlier statements unchanged. We do not automatically debit your bank account or charge you for our avoidable packing, listing or handling errors. A later refund after payout requires a documented resolution, with notice and an opportunity to dispute the amount. Wait for written receiving and shipping instructions before sending items. We confirm the carrier, agreed values, coverage purchased and claim arrangements before shipment. Claims for shipments lost or damaged in transit go through the delivery service, subject to its coverage, exclusions, deadlines and evidence requirements. Coverage is not automatic or unlimited. Keep packaging, photographs and tracking, and promptly contact heymrmom@gmail.com about a problem. Carrier transit coverage does not establish coverage while items are stored with Mr. Mom. Custody discrepancies are documented and resolved before listing; this agreement does not promise separate storage insurance. For service questions or disputes, contact heymrmom@gmail.com. We retain agreement, custody and financial records to administer the service and resolve claims; contact us about access or deletion requests. Records required for outstanding obligations or applicable recordkeeping duties may need to be retained. Your account retains the accepted agreement, inventory, sales and payout records. Transactional notices do not subscribe you to marketing.
