FAQs.
1. How do I withdraw money from Packed?
Go to your Profile tab and tap Withdraw. Please note that there is a $10 minimum to withdraw. You can link a debit card, bank account, PayPal, or Venmo (all subject to availability). You’ll need to complete identity verification first — you must be 18+, have a government-issued ID, and pass a liveness check.
2. How long does identity verification take?
Verification usually happens within a few minutes. If it has been more than 24 hours, contact us via “Need Help” under Help & Support in the Profile tab or email us at support@playpacked.com.
3. How long will my withdrawal take?
Instant withdrawals average about 10 minutes. Bank transfers may take up to 2 business days. Please note that depending on your bank, additional delays may be introduced.
4. Do I owe taxes on card sale gains?
Yes, you are responsible for taxes on any gains from card sales. Once you exceed $600 in a year, Packed will collect your tax information and issue forms at year-end. Withdrawals above $600 are paused until your tax forms are complete.
5. My identity verification failed. What now?
Verification is handled by our third-party provider, Footprint. Failed verifications go to manual review. If manual review doesn’t pass, you’ll need to submit notarized identity documents. Without approved verification, you won’t be able to withdraw or ship cards.
6. Why can’t I withdraw my full balance?
Packed applies purchase and withdrawal limits to prevent fraud and comply with payment processor requirements. The minimum withdrawal is $10. Your limits may increase over time based on your transaction history.
7. Where can I find Packed’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy?
Both are linked in the Profile tab of the Packed app, under “Help & Support”.
8. How is Fair Market Value (FMV) calculated?
Packed uses a semi-automated proprietary system to determine FMV. Factors include but are not limited to: rarity, previous sales, comparable sales, market dynamics, professional grading, provenance, authenticity, average time-to-sale, and signatures or notable additions.
FMV updates automatically as market data changes and is not guaranteed to remain stable. Packed makes no representation that its FMV matches any external market calculation.
9. What is Packed’s 100% buyback guarantee?
Packed will buy back any card in your inventory at 100% FMV (locked at the time of purchase) for at most 7 days after your purchase date. This timeline is subject to change.
10. Why can’t I ship my cards?
Shipping requires completed identity verification. If your verification is pending or hasn’t been started, you won’t be able to ship.
11. Do I pay sales tax on shipping?
Yes. Applicable sales tax is charged at the time of shipment and debited from your Packed account balance before the shipment is released.
12. What if my package never arrived?
Packed is not responsible for packages once delivered to the carrier (except in cases of inventory error). For lost or damaged shipments, contact the carrier directly.
13. What if I received the wrong card?
Check your tracking info and the card you received. If there’s a mismatch, report it via “Need Help” under Help & Support in the Profile tab. Packed digitally tracks every shipment and unsubstantiated inventory error claims may result in account termination.
14. Still need help?
Tap “Need Help” under Help & Support in the Profile tab. If you can’t access the app, email us at support@playpacked.com.
