General

12 answers · What Disc.Market is and how it works.

Disc.Market is an online marketplace for disc golf gear, sold by independent Pro Shops. Shop discs, bags, baskets, apparel, trading cards and more in one place. We hold your payment and only pay the Pro Shop after your order is delivered.

A Pro Shop is a seller on Disc.Market that our team has approved. Each one has its own page with its listings, reviews and policies, and you can browse them all from Pro Shops in the main menu. Want to sell? Apply from the Sell page.

No. Besides Discs, Pro Shops list Bags & Carts, Baskets, Apparel, Accessories, Throw & Catch, Dyed Disc Art, Vintage Discs and Trading Cards. Choose a Category in the Marketplace filters to see just one kind.

Yes. The Disc.Market app is free on the App Store and Google Play. Use the store buttons at the bottom of the site or visit disc.market/get-app. It runs the full site and adds push notifications and Face ID or fingerprint sign-in.

Fill in the form on the Contact page or email support@disc.market, and we usually reply within 24 hours. Signed in? You can also open a ticket from My Account, Support, New Ticket.

Buying

23 answers · Finding gear, offers, auctions and checking out.

Find a listing in the Marketplace, click Add to Cart, then Proceed to Checkout. Checkout has three steps: Address, Shipping, and Review & Pay. Disc.Market holds your payment until your order is delivered and the 3-day window to report a problem has passed (a local pickup order is final once you collect it).

No. You can check out as a guest with just your email. Signing in lets you save Favorites, message Pro Shops, make offers, bid, report a problem and leave reviews. If you later create an account with the same email and verify it, your guest orders show up in My Account.

Use the search bar at the top of any page, then narrow the Marketplace with filters like category, condition, brand, disc type, mold, plastic, flight numbers, color, price, weight, ink, and Pro Shop. Switch between All, Buy Now, and Auctions, or turn on Free Shipping Only or On Sale.

Discs are listed as New or Used, plus a grade. New means never thrown: Brand New, Storage Wear, or Ink (Unthrown). Used grades are Field Thrown, Light Wear, Moderate Wear, and Heavy Wear. Always check the photos and description for the exact item.

Yes, on listings with a Make an Offer button (sign in first). Offer at least half the asking price, and the Pro Shop can accept, counter, or decline. Offers expire after 48 hours. If yours is accepted, the listing is held for you for 24 hours so you can check out at that price.

Payments

5 answers · Paying, buyer protection and sales tax.

We accept major credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Cash App Pay, Link, and Klarna. Affirm is also offered on orders of $35 or more. Apple Pay and Google Pay show up on supported devices and browsers.

Disc.Market holds your payment until your order is delivered plus 3 days. If it arrives damaged or isn't as described, report it in that window and the Pro Shop isn't paid while we review. If it never arrives, click Contact support on your order page. If we side with you, you're refunded from the held payment.

No separate fees. You pay the item price, shipping, and any sales tax, all shown before you pay.

Only if your order ships to (or, for local pickup, is picked up in) a state where Disc.Market is registered to collect sales tax. Tax is charged on the item price, not shipping, and the exact amount shows at checkout before you pay.

After your order is delivered and your 3-day window to report a problem has passed. Delivered means the carrier scanned it as delivered or you clicked Confirm I received this. If neither happens, we confirm delivery 14 days after shipping, and if the carrier never showed it delivered you get 14 days to report a problem. You can also release payment early from your order page if everything looks great.

Shipping

15 answers · Shipping costs, tracking, delivery and local pickup.

Each Pro Shop ships its own items, either on a Disc.Market shipping label or on its own label with a tracking number, so every order is tracked. At checkout you pay a live shipping rate for your address based on carrier prices, a flat price the Pro Shop set, or nothing if the listing has free shipping.

You do, unless the listing shows Free Shipping or your order from that Pro Shop reaches its free-shipping amount. Either one makes Standard shipping free, and faster speeds cost only the difference. You'll see the exact shipping cost at checkout before you pay.

Yes. Items from the same Pro Shop are packed together where they fit, so you pay for the boxes it takes, not for each item. For flat-rate listings that share a box (discs together, trading cards together), the highest flat rate is charged in full and each extra item adds 30% of its own rate. Other items each pay their own flat rate.

Each Pro Shop sets a handling time of 1 to 14 business days, shown as Ships in on the listing's Shipping & Returns tab. Carrier transit comes after that and depends on the speed you pick at checkout: Standard, or Expedited and Express when the Pro Shop offers them.

Orders ship with USPS, UPS, or FedEx. You pick a speed at checkout, not a carrier, and the Pro Shop's label defaults to the speed you paid for.

Returns

8 answers · Returns, refunds, cancellations and disputes.

Buyer Protection doesn't cover changing your mind, and auction wins are final sale. A Pro Shop may accept returns under its own policy, shown on the listing's Shipping & Returns tab. If an item arrives damaged, isn't as described, or never arrives, you're protected as long as you report it within 3 days of delivery and haven't released the order early. Local pickup orders are final once you collect them. See our Refund Policy for the details.

A shipped order can't be cancelled. If it hasn't shipped yet, click Contact support on your order page right away, and our team can cancel it for a full refund. A local pickup order can be cancelled from its order page until the Pro Shop marks it ready.

If it's delivered, click Report a problem on the order page within 3 days of delivery. That holds the Pro Shop's payout while our team reviews both sides and decides whether you get a full refund. You can message the Pro Shop with Contact Pro Shop too, but report first so you don't miss the window.

Report it within 3 days of delivery. Open the order in My Account, Orders, click Report a problem, and choose Arrived damaged or Not as described. The report is written, so send photos in a ticket in My Account, Support with your order number, or to the Pro Shop with Contact Pro Shop on the order.

Check around your door, your mailbox, and with neighbors, and give it a day in case it was scanned early. If it's still missing, open the order within 3 days of the delivery scan, click Report a problem, and choose I never received it. That holds the Pro Shop's payout while our team investigates.

Selling

31 answers · Opening a Pro Shop and managing your listings.

Anyone with a Disc.Market account can apply. You'll need a U.S. Stripe account for payouts and a U.S. ship-from address, and our team reviews every application before you can list.

Sign in, then apply from the Sell page. Once our team approves your application, a 5-step setup covers your Pro Shop profile, ship-from address, shipping settings, Stripe for payouts, and the Pro Shop Agreement. Then you can start listing, and opening a Pro Shop is free.

After setup, your dashboard shows a Getting Started checklist: add your logo and banner, write your bio and policies, list your first disc, and make your first sale. Steps check off on their own, and the compass icon in the top bar reopens the welcome tour anytime.

Open Settings in your Pro Shop dashboard. The Pro Shop tab holds your name, web address and description, Branding holds your logo and banner, Social holds your links, and Policies holds your return and shipping policies. Your public page lives at disc.market/pro-shop/ plus your web address.

In your Pro Shop dashboard, open Listings, click New Listing, and add photos, a title, price, condition and shipping. New listings start as a Draft, which needs only a title; choose Live, then click Publish Live. Publishing also needs a category, brand, description and at least one photo, plus the mold, plastic, type, color, weight and ink for a disc, and your confirmation that the item is genuine. Listings go live right away with no approval queue.

Fees & Payouts

6 answers · What selling costs and when you get paid.

Listing is free, with no subscription or payout fees. When an item sells, Disc.Market keeps a 10% commission on the item price plus shipping (never on sales tax) and a flat $0.35 per order, both taken from your payout. A shipping label you buy through Disc.Market is also deducted from that payout.

On a $50 disc with $5 shipping, the 10% commission is $5.50 and the order fee is $0.35, so you receive $49.15. If you bought the label through Disc.Market, its cost comes out too. Sales tax is never part of the math.

You connect Stripe during setup and can manage it anytime from Payments in your Pro Shop dashboard. Each sale pays out about 3 days after delivery (the buyer's protection window), or within a few hours of handoff for local pickup, minus the 10% commission, the $0.35 order fee, and any label you bought through us. Stripe then sends the money to your bank.

A payout waits until the order is delivered and the buyer's 3-day window has passed. It also stays held while a problem the buyer reported is being resolved, while your Stripe account needs attention on the Payments page, or while we look into a package that stopped moving.

Where Disc.Market collects sales tax, we send it in for you, and it's never part of your commission. If we didn't collect tax on a sale to a buyer in your own state, we flag it on your Payments page and in your yearly CSV so you can report it.

The Taxes card on your Payments page tracks your progress toward the federal 1099-K threshold: $20,000 in gross sales and 200 sales in a year, and both must be crossed. Some states have lower thresholds, and you can download a yearly CSV of your sales for your records.

Account

9 answers · Signing in, security, notifications and privacy.

Click Sign in, then Create Account. Enter your email, a username, a password and your name, then click the verification link we email you. You can also use Continue with Google or Continue with Facebook, and the iPhone app offers Sign in with Apple.

Sign in and open My Account, then Settings. On the Profile tab you can change your photo, username, display name, bio and PDGA number. Saved shipping addresses live under Addresses, and alert choices are on the Notifications tab in Settings.

Click Sign in, then Forgot password? on the Log In form. Enter your account email and click Send Reset Link. The link works for 1 hour. Already signed in? Change it in My Account, Settings, Security, or set one there if you joined with Google or Facebook.

Yes for your username: change it in My Account, Settings, Profile. It must be 5 to 15 letters, numbers or underscores and not already taken. Your email can't be changed in Settings, so contact us through the Contact page if you need to use a different one.

Two-factor authentication asks for a 6-digit code from an authenticator app, like Google Authenticator, Authy or 1Password, every time you sign in (with a password, Google, Facebook or Apple), so a stolen password isn't enough. Go to My Account, Settings, Security and click Set up two-factor, then save the backup codes it gives you.
