How Xkolektor Works

Every item, through the vault. No exceptions.

We are not another listing site. Every piece sold on Xkolektor is physically shipped to our vault, authenticated by specialists, and stored under our custody before it ever goes live. Buyer and seller never meet. Fraud is structurally prevented, not just policy-prevented.

The Problem

Most marketplaces gamble with your trust.

On ordinary marketplaces, sellers ship directly to buyers and authentication may rely on photos. If an item arrives damaged, fake, or not at all, buyers must chase refunds through disputes and chargebacks.

Serious collectors deserve better than hoping the photos were honest.

FAQ

Common questions.

Why can sellers not ship directly to buyers?

Keeping every listed item under Xkolektor custody blocks counterfeit substitutions, off-platform fraud, and fake fulfillment at the structural level.

What if my item is too fragile or large to ship?

A curator may perform an on-site inspection for qualifying fragile, oversized, or sensitive objects while applying the same authentication standard.

How long can I keep a purchased item in the vault for free?

The initial 90 days are free. After that, storage charges may apply until you withdraw, relist, or collect the item.

Who insures my item during shipping?

Declared-value carrier insurance covers transit under the selected shipping tier. Xkolektor documents condition and packing at vault release.

Can I inspect an item before buying?

Listings include curated photography, condition notes, and available provenance documents. Access rules apply to discreet listings.

What fees do you charge?

Sellers pay no listing fee. Buyers pay a 20% premium. Storage is free for 90 days, with shipping and qualifying insurance charged separately.
