Strike Guidelines

Sellers can get a strike for breaking any Tilt policy. Three strikes lead to a permanent ban.

What you can get a strike for

  • Misrepresenting products: inaccurate or misleading descriptions, including leaving out the language, edition or condition.

  • Misleading pricing: claims or implied value that give a false idea of what an item is worth, or of a discount.

  • Communication: not replying to buyers in time, taking conversations off Tilt, or being hateful or abusive to buyers, staff or anyone else.

  • Returns and refunds: not handling a return or refund in line with our policy.

  • Counterfeit items: selling fake or fraudulent items. This can lead to an immediate permanent ban.

  • Shipping: not shipping within our timeframes.

  • Order problems: repeated reports of wrong, defective or missing items.

  • External payments: taking payments outside Tilt.

  • Seller conduct: you're responsible for your own behaviour and for any moderators or co-hosts acting for you.

For category rules, see the Trading Card Games Policy and the Prohibited Items Policy.

What happens

  • First strike: a warning or a temporary suspension.

  • Second strike: a suspension of up to 7 days.

  • Third strike: a permanent ban.

Resets and reviews

  • Strikes reset if you have no further offences within a rolling 12 months. Strikes for counterfeit items or fraud never reset.

  • After any suspension, there's a 14-day review period, and any further breach in that time is escalated.

Tilt can take immediate action, including a permanent ban, for serious misconduct or fraud.
