The fine print
Terms
Using IGWOT means agreeing to these terms. They exist to keep trading fair between sellers and buyers.
Trading on IGWOT
Sellers may list a wide variety of new, used, handmade, vintage, digital, wholesale, print-on-demand and supplier-fulfilled products that meet IGWOT policies and do not violate applicable laws, copyright, or trademark rights. Sellers are responsible for product legality, authenticity, safety, accurate descriptions, required licenses and disclosures, fulfillment, returns, taxes and compliance in every destination. IGWOT does not take a marketplace commission: sellers pay a flat $5.99 monthly subscription and keep the full sale price. Card processing fees are charged separately by the payment processor.
Supplier fulfillment and dropshipping
Dropshipping and third-party fulfillment are allowed for products that meet IGWOT policies and do not violate applicable laws, copyright, or trademark rights. The seller must identify the ship-from location, clearly disclose supplier fulfillment before purchase, use accurate delivery estimates, and remain the buyer’s responsible seller for product quality, safety, support, returns and refunds. Misleading origin claims, counterfeit products, retail-arbitrage listings without reliable fulfillment, and products shipped without required authorization are prohibited.
Prohibited and restricted products
A product being legal somewhere does not guarantee it may be sold on IGWOT. Sellers may not list illegal goods, controlled substances, prescription-only products, counterfeit or stolen goods, recalled or unsafe products, regulated weapons, ammunition, explosives, human remains, illegal wildlife products, pornography involving minors, hate or terrorist material, or anything that cannot legally be advertised, sold, possessed or shipped to the buyer. IGWOT may restrict additional high-risk categories, require documentation, hold a listing for review, or remove products to meet payment-processor, carrier, insurance and legal requirements.
Auctions
Bids are binding offers. A bid placed in the final two minutes extends the closing time by two minutes so every bidder has a fair chance. When a lot closes, the highest bid at or above any reserve wins, and the winner is asked to complete payment.
Payments and refunds
Buyers pay through Stripe at checkout. Refunds and returns are agreed directly between buyer and seller in line with the shop's own policy.
Seller plans
Publishing listings and running auctions requires either an active $5.99/month plan or BETA-Founder lifetime-free eligibility. The first 50 sellers who affirmatively join the beta receive a 90-day active testing period, full store access, and permanent exemption from the IGWOT seller subscription fee. Stripe connection is required to accept card payments, and physical listings require shipping options. Sellers remain responsible for Stripe processing, shipping and labels, taxes, refunds, optional onsite ads, optional offsite ads, and other transaction-related costs. Paid plans renew monthly until canceled.
Firearm accessories: restrictions and acknowledgement
IGWOT currently permits only classified holsters, non-laser optics and non-laser sights in the Firearm Accessories category, through fixed-price listings. New and second-hand firearms, regulated frames or receivers, ammunition, suppressors or silencers, laser, thermal or night-vision devices, anything requiring a background check or ATF Form 4473, and forced-reset triggers (FRTs) are prohibited. Every sale must pass IGWOT’s item-classification and destination-state policy gate. Sellers remain responsible for listing and shipping legally; buyers remain responsible for legal purchase, possession and use. Each must accept the applicable acknowledgement. To the fullest extent permitted by law, a seller or buyer is responsible for losses or claims caused by their own violation, misrepresentation or negligence and may not shift that responsibility to IGWOT or other marketplace users. IGWOT’s automated policy check is not legal advice, does not replace independent legal review, and may block or hold any transaction when eligibility is uncertain.
Copyright and trademarks
You may only list original work, properly licensed goods, or authentic products you are legally authorized to sell. Counterfeits, replicas and copies of another maker's protected designs are not allowed. The full rules, and how a rights holder reports infringement, are set out on the intellectual property page.
