Trading and Marketplace Guidelines
By participating in the trading and marketplace forums you understand, and agree, that TCZ cannot be held responsible for any failed deals. TCZ only serves as a means for you to find and deal with other members. You are responsible for making wise deals, and fulfilling your end of those deals.
We may attempt to help with failed deals, in any way we can, in order to help resolve disputes but cannot guarantee a successful outcome.
All collectors who do not complete their end of any deal may be permanently banned from TCZ.
Mystery packs and auctions are not allowed.
All Trading and Marketplace Guidelines apply to group breaks as well.
Group Break Guidelines
All Trading and Marketplace Guidelines apply to group breaks as well.
Not just anyone can host a group break on TCZ. All group break threads must be approved by a moderator. In order to get your group break approved, you should be a veteran member with a good transaction history. If you are new here, but have hosted group breaks on other forums, and would like to discuss the possibility of becoming a group break host please PM a moderator to discuss it.
All of the members of a group break do not have to be members of TCZ. However, transactions must created for each break for the members who are, preferrably before the break happens.
Do not ask to join a group break and then decide before it starts that you no longer what to participate. If you say you're going to join the group break, stick to that commitment.
Please keep in mind that the nature of group breaks is that it is quite possible that all members involved may not get any "hits", or any cards at all. What you are purchasing, by entering the group break, is the opportunity to participate in the group and any cards that come with that opportunity.
