Trade Report & Dispute Policy

Diecast Verified is a community identity registry. Trade reports are first-person statements submitted by confirmed members about transactions they personally completed. Diecast Verified is a neutral host of those statements and does not independently investigate, endorse, rate, or guarantee any member.

1. Who can file a report

• You must have a confirmed verified profile.
• You must have personally completed the transaction you're describing.
• You agree your statement is truthful to the best of your knowledge by checking the attestation box at submission.

2. What a report can contain

• An outcome: positive or negative.
• A short factual comment (up to 500 characters) about the transaction itself.
• Optional: deal type (buy/sell/trade), approximate date, and platform.

3. What a report must not contain

• Phone numbers, addresses, or other personal contact information.
• Threats, slurs, harassment, or accusations of criminal conduct.
• Names of third parties who are not on the registry.
• Speculation or hearsay — only describe what happened in your transaction.

4. Notification & response (14 days)

When a report is filed, the named member is notified immediately and has 14 days to respond. They can:

• Acknowledge — the report is published.
• Dispute — the report is flagged "Disputed by member", excluded from positive/negative tallies, and sent to admin review.
• Request takedown — sent to admin review for evaluation against this policy.
• Submit a public rebuttal — visible alongside the report.

5. Admin review

Admins may decide to:

• Publish the report as-is.
• Publish with a permanent "Disputed by member" note.
• Retract the report (hidden from public view).

Every admin decision is recorded with a reason in the audit log. Members can request re-review by contacting an admin if new information becomes available.

6. What's visible publicly

• On a member's profile, the public sees only counts: total reported deals, positive, negative, and disputed.
• Individual comments and the identity of the other party are visible only to signed-in, confirmed members.
• There are no "trust scores", rankings, or endorsements.

7. Rate limits

• At most one report per (you, other member) every 30 days.
• At most ten reports per 30 days total.

8. Reporter responsibility

You are responsible for the truthfulness of statements you submit. By filing a report you indemnify Diecast Verified and its operators for the content of that statement. Knowingly false reports may result in removal of your confirmation and your reports.

9. Not legal advice, not a guarantee

See our full disclaimer and terms of service. Diecast Verified does not authenticate items, escrow payment, verify shipping, or guarantee any transaction outcome. Always do your own due diligence.
