For Buyers

Do I need to be a hobbyDB member to buy anything?

No sir-ee! You are welcome to checkout as a guest. If you have a hobbyDB account, you will have the additional benefit of the item going straight into your online collection, and more transparency into the progress of your order. This makes keeping a record of your collection super simple in the long run.

How do I make sure I’m protected on this marketplace?

We take extra steps in our process to make sure our buyers get their items and are happy with them before we pay our sellers. When you pay for your order, your money is collected and put into a secure PayPal account. This way, if you are unhappy with your order, or a seller does not deliver, you will receive a refund.

We take both buyer and seller protection seriously here at hobbyDB. Check out our buyer and seller protection policies to see all the details.

Will I get a tracking number for shipping?

We encourage our sellers to ship within 2-5 business days. As soon as the seller ships the item and updates their tracking, you will automatically get an email that shows the shipping carrier and tracking number so you can keep an eye on your order.

Been longer than 5 business days? No worries! Send our customer service team a message and we'll make sure you're taken care of right away. Send a message now.
