Buyer FAQ

Everything you need to know about buying on PokéLinker.

PokéLinker connects you directly with sellers — we don't process the sale. Browse or search, add listings to your Poké Cart, then use “Contact Seller” to email them and arrange payment and shipping directly.

No. Anyone can browse cards, sets, and storefronts. You only need a free account to see a seller's contact info, save to your Poké Wish (wishlist), or build a cart — this keeps sellers' inboxes spam-free.

Your Poké Cart holds real listings you intend to buy from specific sellers. Your Poké Wish is your hunt list — any card from any set, even ones nobody is selling yet — so you can track them down later.

Each seller sets their own shipping terms — look in their storefront bio (for example, free shipping over $100, or a flat domestic rate). Confirm shipping and payment with the seller by email before sending money.

No. PokéLinker takes no cut and never holds funds. You arrange payment directly with the seller. Use a payment method with buyer protection and trust your judgment — see our reviews and seller badges.

Yes — once you're signed in, open the seller's storefront and scroll to Reviews. Reviews are public, posted under your account name, and can't contain links.
