Acceptable Use Policy
Last updated: 2026-05-12. Short version: don't fake data, don't impersonate, don't scrape, don't post illegal or hateful content. Honest contribution is what makes this site work.
By using CheckAGrade you agree NOT to:
- Submit false, misleading, or manipulated sale data — including inflated prices, fake graders, mismatched eBay listings, or sales that didn't actually occur.
- Coordinate with another user to "sell" cards to each other in order to pump or suppress public market prices (wash trading).
- Create more than one account, or operate accounts on behalf of another person, in order to evade limits, bans, or moderation.
- Impersonate any other user, CheckAGrade staff, a grading company (TAG, PSA, CGC, BGS, ACE, SGC), eBay, or any other third party.
- Use the site to defame, harass, threaten, dox, or stalk any person.
- Post content that is illegal in the United Kingdom, including (but not limited to) child sexual abuse material, terrorist content, copyrighted material you don't own, or stolen-property listings.
- Reference counterfeit graded cards, fake slabs, or instructions on how to produce them.
- Programmatically scrape, mirror, or otherwise systematically copy CheckAGrade data without prior written permission. Single-card lookups for personal use are fine.
- Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the site or attempt to bypass any security or rate-limit measure.
- Send unsolicited messages, scams, pyramid schemes, or commercial spam via your bio, profile fields, or contact handles.
- Sell, transfer, or share your account credentials.
What happens if you do
Depending on the severity we may:
- Reject the specific submission(s)
- Reduce your reputation
- Set every previously approved sale you submitted to unverified
- Suspend your account temporarily
- Ban your account permanently and remove your personal data
- Report you to the relevant authorities for serious violations
We will notify you by email when your account is suspended or banned and explain the reason. You can appeal by replying to that email within 10 days.
Reporting violations
If you see something that violates this policy, flag the sale via the flag button (verified members) or email support@lazylabs.uk with the URL of the content and a one-line description.
