Rehoming Policy
Updated Feb 21st 2024
Pay-for-production items (P4P)
Please visit the P4P policy page for more information. Resale is prohibited for P4P.
If you must resell non-P4P, I encourage you to list at or below item cost (drop price, D) plus shipping to your buyer if you have ever opened or displayed your items.
I will not be blocking people from the shop who sell for the original purchase cost (drop price + shipping + shipping to buyer, DSS) instead of just item cost, but you may be excluded from early access in the future if I see you do it. If you are buying secondhand at DSS or the cost looks unusually high, I strongly recommend asking for a screenshot of the person's purchase proof.
The following are permitted for regular items:
- Selling for item cost (drop price plus shipping to buyer, DS) 30 days after receipt
- Trading 30 days after receipt
- Trading for equivalent value (e.g. $10 USD item cost)
- Trading like-for-like (e.g. according to size)
- Trading unequally (e.g. according to demand)
- Gifting any time after receipt, where the sender covers shipping
- Gifting any time after receipt, where the receiver pays for exact shipping
- Drop-buddying for no monetary benefit
- Drop-buddying for a trade with someone else
- Charity auctions
↳ With explicit permission, requires sharing chosen charity and subsequent donation proof
The following are NOT permitted for regular items:
- Selling for a profit items that have been opened or displayed at any point
- Offering items for trade or sale before receipt (pre-trading/pre-selling)
- Selling for a profit items that are in pristine condition and have never been opened
- Drop-buddying for monetary benefit, including tips
- Stacking shipping costs when selling secondhand (D+S+S+) to "get back what you paid"
- Buying with intention to trade
- Claiming "in search of" before items drop (pre-ISO)
Breaching of these terms may result in a ban from the shop and on social media if found to be intentional or malicious.
I strongly recommend recycling prints if you no longer want them, and please dispose of plastics, wood and metals responsibly if you are unable to rehome them.
Rationale
Though non-P4P items do generate a small profit, I am a sole trader who does not earn a living from my art. Essentially, the money made from every sale get put back into my shop to pay for site fees, packaging, and new merch. I don't extract any funds to use as pocket money; this is very much a hobby for me, and I want to make the most of it!
Because of this, it makes me very uncomfortable to see people attempt to profit off my work, when running an art micro-business in the current global economy is so challenging.
