Effective Date: March 23, 2026  |  Last Updated: April 5, 2026  |  Version: v3
IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: These Terms of Service ("Agreement") constitute a legally binding contract between you ("Seller") and PGH Resell LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). By creating an account or submitting any item to PGH Resell, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement in its entirety. If you do not agree to these terms, do not create an account or submit items for consignment.

1. Parties and Definitions

For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions apply:

2. Eligibility

To use PGH Resell's services, you must:

By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you meet all eligibility requirements. PGH Resell reserves the right to suspend or terminate any account that does not satisfy these requirements.

3. Consignment Relationship

3.1 Nature of the Relationship

PGH Resell operates as a consignment agent. Title to all Items remains with the Seller until the Item is sold to a third-party buyer. PGH Resell does not purchase Items from Sellers and assumes no ownership interest in any Item at any time.

3.2 Acceptance of Items

Submission of an Item does not guarantee acceptance. PGH Resell reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to refuse or return any Item for any reason, including but not limited to:

If PGH Resell refuses a previously accepted Item, the Seller will be notified and may retrieve the Item at their own expense and arrangement. Items not retrieved within fourteen (14) days of refusal notification may be disposed of at PGH Resell's discretion.

3.3 Item Drop-Off and Receipt

Sellers may deliver Items via the following methods:

PGH Resell will acknowledge receipt of Items within two (2) business days of physical possession. Until such acknowledgment is provided, Items remain entirely at the Seller's risk. PGH Resell shall not be liable for Items lost, damaged, or misdirected during Seller-arranged delivery.

4. Commission Structure and Seller Proceeds

4.1 Commission Schedule

By submitting an Item and creating an account, Seller agrees to the following flat commission structure, effective April 5, 2026:

Sale PriceSeller ReceivesPGH Resell Retains
Below $5.00$0 (below minimum threshold)100%
$5.00 and above50%50%

The commission is a flat fifty percent (50%) of the final Sale Price for all Items selling at or above $5.00. No tiers, no adjustments — the Seller's share is always 50% of whatever the Item sells for. All commission calculations are final.

4.2 Platform Fees

PGH Resell absorbs one hundred percent (100%) of all eBay seller fees, including percentage-based transaction fees and per-order flat fees. These costs are deducted entirely from PGH Resell's share and are never passed on to the Seller. The 50% the Seller receives is the Seller's full net payout with no further platform-fee deductions of any kind.

4.3 Shipping and Handling Costs

PGH Resell covers one hundred percent (100%) of all outbound shipping costs to buyers. Shipping costs are absorbed entirely by PGH Resell and are never deducted from the Seller's proceeds. Sellers are responsible only for costs associated with delivering Items to PGH Resell (inbound shipping), unless otherwise agreed in writing. PGH Resell does not reimburse Sellers for inbound shipping costs under any circumstances.

4.4 Listing Price Authority

PGH Resell retains sole and exclusive authority to set, adjust, and modify the listing price of any Item at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to market conditions, platform-specific pricing requirements, buyer demand, and competitive analysis. Seller acknowledges that PGH Resell's judgment regarding pricing is final. PGH Resell will make reasonable efforts to maximize the Sale Price; however, no specific sale price or minimum sale price is guaranteed.

4.5 Payout Schedule and Method

Seller Proceeds are credited to the Seller's account within two (2) business days of confirmed receipt of payment from the buyer. Sellers may request a payout at any time through the Seller Portal via ACH bank transfer or PayPal/Venmo. PGH Resell will process payout requests within two (2) business days of submission.

5. Listing Lifecycle and Item Disposition

5.1 Listing Period

Each Item accepted by PGH Resell will be actively listed for sale for a maximum period of ninety (90) calendar days from the date the Item is first listed on a selling platform ("Listing Period"). PGH Resell makes no guarantee that an Item will sell within the Listing Period.

5.2 End of Listing Period — Seller Options

Upon expiration of the Listing Period without a completed sale, PGH Resell will notify the Seller via the email address on file and provide the following options:

5.3 Automatic Disposal Authorization

If PGH Resell does not receive a response from the Seller within fourteen (14) calendar days following end-of-listing-period notification, the Seller shall be deemed to have authorized disposal of the Item. PGH Resell shall have no further obligation to the Seller with respect to such Item and shall not be liable for any value, actual or perceived, associated with the disposed Item. "Disposal" may include, without limitation, donation to a charitable organization, recycling, resale at PGH Resell's own discretion, or discarding.

5.4 Retrieval Logistics

Sellers retrieving unsold Items are responsible for all associated pickup or return-shipping costs. Items must be retrieved from 5877 Commerce St, Pittsburgh, PA 15206 by appointment, or the Seller may arrange prepaid return shipping at their own expense. PGH Resell is not responsible for arranging or subsidizing retrieval logistics.

6. Returns, Disputes, and Buyer Claims

6.1 Buyer-Initiated Returns

In the event a buyer initiates a return, dispute, or claim through eBay or any other platform after an Item has sold, the associated cost — including any refunded amount, platform penalty, or shipping return cost — shall be deducted from the Seller's account balance.

6.2 Relisting Following Return

Where an Item is returned in the same or substantially similar condition as when it was originally listed, PGH Resell will make reasonable efforts to relist the Item within the remaining portion of the Listing Period, or for a new 90-day Listing Period at PGH Resell's discretion. Relisting is not guaranteed.

6.3 Seller Representations Regarding Item Condition

Seller warrants that all Items submitted are accurately described, are in the condition represented, and are free of any defects not disclosed to PGH Resell at the time of submission. If a return or dispute arises as a direct result of Seller misrepresentation, the full cost of the return shall be borne by the Seller, including any platform penalties assessed against PGH Resell.

6.4 Chargeback Liability

In the event a buyer initiates a payment chargeback with their financial institution that is upheld by the issuing bank or platform, the corresponding amount shall be deducted from the Seller's account. If the Seller's account balance is insufficient to cover such deduction, PGH Resell reserves the right to seek recovery of the deficit amount directly from the Seller.

7. Item Damage, Loss, and Liability

7.1 General Standard of Care

PGH Resell agrees to exercise reasonable care in the handling, storage, photography, packaging, and shipment of all Items while they are in PGH Resell's physical possession.

7.2 PGH Resell Liability for Damage

PGH Resell shall be liable to the Seller for damage to an Item only where such damage is directly caused by PGH Resell and is established by one of the following means: express acknowledgment by PGH Resell of responsibility for the damage; or a written determination by the shipping carrier that damage occurred as a result of insufficient or inadequate packaging by the shipper (i.e., PGH Resell). In the event PGH Resell is found liable under this Section, PGH Resell's maximum liability shall be limited to the lesser of: (a) the agreed-upon or estimated listing value of the Item at the time of submission, or (b) the most recent listed sale price.

7.3 Carrier Damage

Where a carrier determines that damage resulted from causes other than insufficient packaging (e.g., carrier mishandling, force majeure, or transit conditions outside PGH Resell's control), PGH Resell shall bear no liability. PGH Resell will cooperate reasonably with any insurance claim filed by the Seller against the carrier.

7.4 Loss or Theft While in Possession

PGH Resell shall take commercially reasonable precautions to safeguard Items against loss or theft. In the event of documented loss or theft of an Item while in PGH Resell's physical possession, PGH Resell's liability shall be limited to the estimated listing value of the Item as assessed at the time of submission.

7.5 Items Shipped to PGH Resell

PGH Resell assumes no responsibility for Items lost, damaged, delayed, or destroyed during inbound transit to PGH Resell. Sellers are encouraged to use insured and tracked shipping methods when sending Items. Risk of loss during inbound shipping remains with the Seller until PGH Resell confirms receipt.

8. Seller Representations and Warranties

By submitting any Item and by maintaining an account with PGH Resell, Seller represents, warrants, and covenants to PGH Resell on a continuing basis that:

Seller agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless PGH Resell, its owners, employees, agents, and representatives from any and all claims, damages, losses, penalties, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from any breach of the representations and warranties in this Section.

PGH Resell shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.
