What is meant by 'Card Condition'? 

Here is a guide to the system we use for grading:

Near Mint

Cards from newer sets in Near Mint condition will generally have been opened straight from the booster. Other cards in this condition may show signs of very slight wear from shuffling and may also have, but not restricted to, small nicks, scratches, border wear and wear that is not immediately noticeable when the card is sleeved. 

Older cards in this condition may show little or no signs of aging, dirt or possible clouding on foils. 

Minor Printing Defects. Lines, minor packaging-related border damage, or other small defects will not affect the grade of the card. 

Light Play

Cards graded as Light Play will show sign of general play, may have tournament stamps, signatures (Artist or Magic: The Gathering related signatures) or moderate manufacture/printing defects.

Cards in this category will NOT have signs of inking, water damage, rips, tears or writing (other than signatures).  

Cards in this category are normally legal for tournament use once sleeved. 

Played

Cards graded as Played may show any amount of wear, and any type of wear, but will usually still be legal for tournament play once sleeved. 

Poor

Cards graded as Poor show significant wear, tampering, damage or other markings not through normal play and may not be legal for tournament use, even when sleeved. 

 

I can't complete order payment!

In the event that your order payment has malfunctioned, we can still take your payment over the phone, or via PayPal transfer. In the event that checkout is unsuccessful, we will still maintain a copy of your order, and details. (with the cards out of stock, and allocated to it) The order status will be marked as Awaiting Payment.

Please double-check your PayPal account to ensure that the payment has not left your account, if it has please do let us know the Transaction ID and we’ll take another look for you.

If the payment has not left your account, it can be sent manually to trolltrader@googlemail.com (please include your MTG Order # in the comment). Alternatively we can send a PayPal request (please email us to request this) or you can give us a call on 01726 869044 (between 9am and 5pm) to make a credit/debit card payment over the phone with us.

In rare instances your order may be charged in dollars instead of pounds. (This error is caused by our website provider location) In this event, do not worry, we'll pop you an email to proceed with payment, and will cancel or refund the initial amount.

 

I've made a mistake on my order! Can I add or remove card(s) please?

We understand that mistakes can happen, if you have realised you have missed off a card or have ordered an extra card please let us know as early as possible. We will try our best to amend your order so you receive exactly what you need. Please note for order additions there is a 20p charge. We reserve the right to waive this fee at our discretion. 

 

I have a Pre-Order but no longer need the card(s)/items, can I cancel?

Please email us at the earliest opportunity and we will cancel and refund the order as Store Credit if it is possible to do so. Pre-Orders may only be cancelled up to 8am on the day before the item is due for release (this is due to processing times within the warehouse). 

Please note that we do not offer Pre-Order price guarantees, but do try and keep our prices as competitive as we can during the Pre-Order windows. 

 

I've changed my mind and wish to cancel an order, how do I do so?

We understand that this can happen, if you have realised you wish to cancel your order please email our support address at the earliest opportunity. A member of the team will look and see how feasible it is, if the order is already processing it may take longer to retrieve, and will work out a refund with you. Payments made with Store Credit will only be refunded as Store Credit. PayPal payments can either be refunded in full via Store Credit or via PayPal with a 3% cancellation fee (unfortunately this fee is necessary due to PayPal no longer refunding transaction fees to customers - at our sole discretion we may choose to refund the fee as well). 

 

Do you buy cards?

Our website features a comprehensive 'Buylist' which is constantly updated. If you can't find your cards on there, or you have an extremely large collection you are looking to sell, we may still be interested. In this case, send us an email detailing your cards and they're condition, (including some pictures) and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

We offer two modes of payment for trade ins:

PayPal transfer: Direct to your PayPal or credit card

Store credit: An amount added directly to your website account, which can be used as payment for orders. As an incentive, the amount we pay in store credit is slightly higher than the PayPal option.

If you are unable to provide the printout of the confirmation email you may include a note with your name, email address, order # and payment method. Not including a note, or having cards not in the order requested, may lead to refusal of your Buy Order and a return at your expense.

Please note: Due to increasing admin costs, smaller valued Buy Orders may be rejected. 

 

Updated Maximum Order Quantities, I want to order more than 4 copies but I'm unable to?
We limit our available stock numbers so that no one player purchases all available copies of a card beyond 4 units, with the exception of cards that have the rules text ''any number of cards named', basic lands and tokens where the quantity availble shows more than 4. We have a good base of regular customers and want to ensure card availability to them is as optimal as possible. We reserve the right to cancel additional orders that any one player makes for more than 4 copies of a single card.


There will be a 3% transaction charge deducted for orders trying to surpass the maximum quantities limit.

 

I've got my order, but one of the cards is a foreign language. Have you made a mistake?

We do, occasionally, have Non-English cards available on our website. The language of the card is always listed next the card grading, if you find that you have mistakenly purchased a Non-English card and have changed your mind please email our support@trolltradercards.com

 

The card I want isn't on your website! Please help me!

Don't panic. We are constantly updating our prices and inventory every day. If you can't find the product you desire, don't hesitate to contact us, and we'll see what we can do.

 

I would like to sell some cards for Store Credit, but I want to use the credit on The Troll Trader model site how can I do this?

You won’t be able to automatically use the credit on thetrolltrader.com as it’s a different system to the trolltradercards.com website. However we can transfer the credit to be used on the model website, there’s just a few things to note:

 

  • The credit bonus for the model website is 20% (compared to the 30% on the card site). This deduction would be applied when transferring the credit.

  • Credit for the model site is issued as a one-time use code direct to your email. We can hold the balance on the card website and arrange for a deduction to be made for the credit-code to be issued for the model website, we would just need to know the amount of credit you would like.

 

EU Update! 

As of January 1st 2021 the United Kingdom of Great Britain is no longer part of the European Union.

This means that customers in European countries ordering with Troll Trader Cards (part of Troll Trader Ltd) may be subjected to customs and/or import charges for their order.

As of July 1st 2026, imports into countries within the EU will carry a flat customs duty of 3€. This flat rate is stackable and will be applied for each item type (Harmonised Tariff Code) within the shipment. Examples of different item types are, but not limited to:

  • Trading cards

  • Plastic and Trading Card Sleeves

  • Deck boxes

  • Dice

Troll Trader Cards accepts no liability for customs/import charges and these are payable by the customer. 

Refusal to pay charges will result in the package being returned to us. Any charges, or shipping costs, incurred by Troll Trader Cards due to unpaid import charges/taxes will be deducted from any refund provided at a later date for the order.
