About

Amethyst is a peer-to-peer marketplace built exclusively for buying and selling K-pop photocards. Sellers list their cards with photos and details, and buyers can search by group, member, or album to find exactly what they're looking for.

Our catalog covers over 100 K-pop groups with hundreds of members and thousands of albums, making it easy to find and categorize any photocard.

For sellers: Take a photo of your photocard, select the member and album from our catalog, set your price, and post. When someone buys your card, ship it and upload proof of shipment. Once the buyer confirms delivery, funds are released to your connected bank account.

For buyers: Browse or search for photocards by group, member, or album. Message sellers with questions. When you purchase, your payment is held securely until you confirm the card arrived. After the transaction, leave a review to help the community.

Amethyst charges a 12% fee on each sale, paid by the seller. This covers payment processing, platform operations, and buyer protection. Buyers pay only the listed price: no hidden fees, no service charges, no markups.

Every transaction is protected by multiple layers of safety:

• Held payments: Buyer funds are held by Stripe until the buyer confirms delivery. Sellers receive payouts only after successful delivery.
• Shipping proof: Sellers upload photos or videos as evidence of shipment.
• Dispute resolution: If something goes wrong, both buyer and seller can submit evidence. Disputes are reviewed and resolved with refunds when appropriate.
• Ratings & reviews: Verified transaction reviews help the community identify trustworthy sellers.
• Reporting & blocking: Users can report problematic content or block other users.

All payment processing is handled by Stripe, a PCI-compliant payment processor. Amethyst never sees or stores credit card numbers, bank account details, or other sensitive financial information. Sellers connect their bank accounts through Stripe to receive payouts.
