About Founding Membership

What is a Founding Member?

A Founding Member is one of the first selected collectors helping shape My Sports Lockers while receiving permanent recognition and exclusive founder benefits.

Why are there only 12 Founding Memberships available?

The initial group is intentionally limited so each Founder can receive meaningful recognition, direct support, and a genuine role in the platform's early development.

What makes Founding Membership different from regular membership?

Founders receive permanent Founder status, special recognition, enhanced benefits, lower selling fees, and opportunities to influence future development.

How long will Founding Memberships be available?

They will remain available only until all 12 open positions are filled.

Can I upgrade later if I miss out on a Founding Membership?

Not automatically. Once the available Founder positions are filled, future openings would only occur if a position becomes available.

Fees & Earnings

Do Founding Members pay monthly locker fees?

Founder lockers are designed to include lifetime membership benefits, subject to the final Founder Agreement and published fee schedule.

What are the selling fees for Founding Members?

Founders receive a preferred selling rate. The current percentage will be shown in the official fee schedule before activation.

Are there any hidden fees?

No hidden fees are intended. Applicable selling, payment-processing, shipping, or optional service charges will be disclosed clearly.

Will fee rates ever increase for Founding Members?

Any changes would be communicated in advance and handled according to the Founder Agreement and platform terms.

Your Locker

What is a digital locker?

A digital locker is your personal online space to display, organize, promote, andβ€”when enabledβ€”sell your sports collectibles.

What can I list in my locker?

Authentic sports memorabilia, collectibles, jerseys, cards, apparel, and other approved sports-related items that meet marketplace rules.

Can I have more than one locker?

Additional lockers may be available depending on membership level, platform capacity, and approval.

Can I customize my locker?

Yes. Members can personalize permitted details such as their locker name, profile, images, collection categories, and selected display features.

Can I change my locker name later?

Yes, provided the new name is available and follows naming and trademark guidelines.

Selling & Buying

What can I sell on My Sports Lockers?

Approved sports collectibles and memorabilia that you own, accurately describe, and are legally permitted to sell.

Can I accept offers on my items?

Offer features may be available by listing type and can be turned on or off by the locker owner.

How do buyers find my items?

Payments & Payouts

How and when do I get paid?

Eligible proceeds are released after payment clears and any required transaction or delivery checks are completed.

What payment methods are supported?

The marketplace will support the secure payment methods shown at checkout, such as major cards and approved digital payment options.

Is my financial information secure?

Payments are intended to be processed through established payment providers so sensitive card details are not stored directly by locker owners.

Shipping & Returns

Do I have to ship items?

If you sell an item for delivery, you are responsible for preparing and shipping it according to the marketplace's shipping standards.

What shipping options are available?

Available services may include tracked carrier shipping, local pickup, or other approved delivery methods selected for the listing.

Returns are governed by the marketplace policy, listing terms, item accuracy, condition, authenticity, and applicable consumer law.

Privacy & Security

How is my personal information protected?

Personal information is handled according to the Privacy Policy and protected with reasonable administrative, technical, and security safeguards.

Can my locker be private?

Yes. Where supported, locker owners may choose a public or private locker setting and control what is visible to visitors.

Support & Community

What kind of support do Founding Members receive?

Founders receive priority onboarding assistance, platform guidance, and access to Founder-focused communications and support.

Can I provide feedback or suggest new features?

Yes. Founder feedback is an important part of the early platform and may help guide future improvements and features.

It is a Canada-focused community built by collectors, for collectors, with an emphasis on trust, authenticity, fair dealing, and preserving the hobby.
