Common questions, organised by area. If you can't find what you need, get in touch at the bottom of the page.
Account
How do I create an account?
Sign up with an email and password, then verify your email. You’ll also choose a unique @username, which becomes part of your public profile.
What shows on my public profile?
Your display name, username, bio, a broad location (never a precise address), your identity verification badge if you have one, when you joined, your reviews, and anything you’ve chosen to showcase — Showcase cards, completed sets you’ve opted to share, listings and cards available for trade.
What does identity verification do?
Verification is optional and document-only through Stripe Identity — HoloLedger never receives or stores the document itself, and there’s no selfie or biometric check. A verified account shows an “Identity verified” mark beside your name. It doesn’t mean HoloLedger has verified the authenticity of your cards, or vouches for you more generally.
How do I keep my account secure?
Use a strong, unique password and never share it or a verification code with anyone. See Safety for more.
How do I get a copy of my data, or make a privacy request?
Go to Settings → Privacy. You can download a copy of your data there, or send us a request (for example to correct or delete something, or to make a complaint). We reply within one month.
How do I close my account?
Go to Settings → Account → Close account. Any orders, trades or disputes still in progress need to finish first. Your profile and listings disappear straight away, and your data is deleted 30 days later. You can change your mind until then by signing in. Some records, such as payments and orders, are kept for as long as the law requires.
Collecting
How does the Collection work?
Add cards from HoloLedger’s own Pokémon catalogue, and record condition, whether it’s raw or graded, and photos of your actual card. Binders let you arrange cards in 9-pocket pages like a physical album, and a Showcase lets you feature up to 6 favourites on your public profile.
What's a Wantlist?
A list of specific cards you’re looking for, with the variant, condition and price you’d accept. It’s independent of your Collection — owning a card doesn’t remove it, and vice versa.
How does set completion work?
Opening a set shows what you own, what’s missing, and what’s on your Wantlist, with a live completion percentage. You can track either every numbered card (Main Set) or every printed variant (Master Set), where that data is available.
Can I add a card by scanning it?
Yes — you can scan a card with your camera to help identify it while adding it to your Collection, or upload a photo instead if that’s easier.
Marketplace
How do I buy a card?
Open a listing and check out through HoloLedger. Your total includes the listed price and a Buyer Protection fee, shown in full before you pay.
How do I sell a card?
See Seller Information for the full walkthrough — listing is free, and HoloLedger currently charges no seller commission.
Can I make an offer on a listing?
Yes — buyers can offer a different price on a listing, and the seller can accept, decline, or counter.
Where do I see my orders?
Your purchases and sales are both in Orders.
What if something goes wrong with an order?
See Buyer Protection for eligible dispute reasons and how resolution works.
Trading
How do I start a trade?
Propose a card-for-card trade in a conversation with another collector — see the Trading Guide for the full process.
What does Trade Protection do?
Once a trade is agreed, it structures dispatch and receipt confirmation on both sides. It doesn’t involve money, and it isn’t insured — see the Trading Guide for exactly what it does and doesn’t cover.
How do I complete a trade?
Once you’ve both dispatched your cards and confirmed receipt, the trade is marked complete and you can each leave the other a review.
Community
What is Community?
A feed for posts, showcases and set-completion moments — a place to talk about the hobby, separate from the marketplace itself.
How do I report content or a user?
Every post, comment, listing, message and review has a report option. See Safety for how reporting works.
How does HoloLedger keep Community safe?
Reports go to a real review queue, and content is hidden rather than silently altered while under review. See Safety for more.
