  11. Any agreement for and/or purchase of a Sale Item is made solely between you and the seller. The application may include functionality for suggesting more effective selling, but Sellers have, at all times, total discretion to set prices. Complaints, questions and claims related to a Sale Item have to be directed to the seller. Where users cannot resolve issues relating to a Sale Transaction between themselves, we will attempt to help mediate such disputes.
  12. As we are not the seller of any Sale Items, we have no control and do not give any commitment relating to the existence, quality, safety, genuineness or legality of Sale Items, the truth or accuracy of any picture or description of the Sale Items or any other content made available by users, the ability of sellers to sell Sale Items, the ability of buyers to pay for them or that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction or return the Sale Item, and we have no liability in this respect to the extent permitted by applicable law. Sellers are responsible for ensuring that any age-restricted Sale Items are marked clearly with the applicable age restriction (as required by law) and Buyers agree that they shall not attempt to purchase Sale Items if they are younger than the advertised and legal age restriction.

6. Transaction process

  1. The buyer accepts the seller’s offer when he/she clicks on “Buy securely” on the payment page, initiating a sales transaction. The buyer acknowledges that by doing so he/she has accepted the offer, taking into account the description of the sale item that is the subject of the sale, and that the acceptance is accompanied by a firm commitment to execute the contract with the seller under the terms of the offer.
  2. The contract is concluded under the resolutive conditions that 1) the seller ships the sale item by tracked mail no later than within seven (7) days after the sales transaction has been initiated, and 2) the buyer has two (2) days after receiving the sale item to initiate a return. If the Seller has not shipped the sale item within the seven (7) days or the buyer initiated a return within two (2) days after receipt of the sale item, shipped the sale item to the seller by tracked mail within three (3) days of initiating the return and completed the return process, the transaction will be canceled; the contract will expire in this case.
  3. To initiate a return, the buyer has to fill out the return formulary within two (2) days of receiving the sale item. The return formulary can be accessed through the “My purchases” section in their menu. It is the responsibility of the buyer to return the sale item to the seller by tracked mail within three (3) days of initiating the return. The return process is completed once the seller receives the sale item back.
  4. The transaction has been completed once the buyer’s two (2) day appeal period after receipt of the sale item has passed and he/she has not initiated a return, or if the sale item has been manually accepted by the buyer.

7. Payment flow

  1. Once the seller’s offer has been accepted, the total transaction amount (incl. the marko buyer protection fee and any applicable shipping costs) will be reserved from the buyer through the Payment Provider. If the transaction has not been completed within seven (7) days, we will instruct the Payment Provider to block and hold the payment.
  2. Once the transaction has been completed, the funds will be captured and/or transferred to the seller within thirty (30) days, with the applicable buyer protection and seller fees already deducted. Under normal circumstances, payments should arrive within 10 days.
  3. In the case that the contract expires due to the seller not shipping the sale item within seven (7) days, the payment reservation will be cancelled, or the funds returned.
  4. In the case that the buyer initiated a return within two (2) days of receiving the sale item and shipped the return by tracked mail within three (3) days of initiating the return, only the cost for the initial shipping and the Buyer Protection fee will be partially captured and/or transferred, once we receive confirmation that the seller has received the sale item back. The shipping costs will be transferred to the seller while the Buyer Protection fee will be transferred to marko. The remaining reservation amount for the price of the sale item will be cancelled or returned to the buyer.
  5. In that case that the buyer initiated a return within two (2) days of receiving the sale item, but failed to ship the return by tracked mail within three (3) days of initiating the return, the transaction is deemed complete and the funds will be captured and/or transferred to the seller within thirty (30) days, with the applicable buyer protection and seller fees already deducted. Under normal circumstances, payments should arrive within 10 days.
  6. For every sales transaction, a payment transaction fee will be deducted from the total amount receivable by the seller (“Seller Fee”). This is a service fee payable to marko for the operation of the marketplace. marko has the right to adjust the seller fee at any time. For sales transactions concluded before this change, the seller fee that was valid at the time of the conclusion of the sales transaction applies. marko is entitled to deduct the seller fee from the payment or to offset it against this or other, future payments.
  7. For every sales item purchased, a fee will be added to the item price payable by the buyer (“Buyer protection fee”). This is a service fee payable to marko for the operation of the marketplace as well as the provision of the buyer protection service. marko has the right to adjust the buyer protection fee at any time. For sales transactions concluded before this change, the buyer protection fee that was valid at the time of the conclusion of the sales transactions applies. marko is entitled to add the buyer protection fee to the total amount payable or to offset it against this or other, future payments.
  8. The User is obliged to ensure that the credit card as well as other means of payment with which he/she makes any payments according to these GTC are valid and have the required coverage. If the transaction is completed but the payment failed or wasn’t completed, marko reserves the right to issue an invoice for the outstanding amount. The User must fully compensate marko for all costs incurred by marko if total amounts owed are not paid on time.
