Why Are Collectibles Considered High-Risk?

The collectibles industry is classified as high-risk for several reasons:

  1. Subjective Valuation and Market Volatility

Collectibles often have subjective values that can fluctuate with market trends, making them vulnerable to disputes or chargebacks if buyers feel they overpaid.

  1. Increased Susceptibility to Fraud and Counterfeit Goods

Due to the rarity and high value of many collectibles, there is a higher risk of fraud, including counterfeit items being sold to unsuspecting buyers.

  1. High Transaction Values

Transactions for rare or high-value collectibles often involve large sums of money, increasing the potential for disputes and chargebacks.

Despite these challenges, High-Risk Match specializes in navigating the complexities of the collectibles industry, offering tailored merchant account solutions that mitigate risk while ensuring your business can grow and thrive.

Collectible Merchant Account Types

At High-Risk Match, we offer a range of merchant account types designed to meet the needs of collectibles businesses:

  1. Online

For collectible businesses focused on eCommerce, our online payment solutions offer everything you need to securely accept payments from customers around the world. We provide secure payment gateways with advanced features such as:

  • Encryption and tokenization to protect sensitive financial data.
  • SSL technology and SET protocol for enhanced transaction security.

With our online merchant accounts, your collectible business can reach customers globally while ensuring secure and smooth payment processing.

  1. Retail

For businesses operating physical storefronts, High-Risk Match offers retail merchant services tailored to card-present transactions. In-person transactions are generally seen as lower risk, and with our POS systems, you’ll benefit from seamless, secure payment processing with lower processing fees. Our full suite of POS devices ensures fast, easy, and secure transactions for your in-store customers.

  1. Over the Phone (MOTO)

If your business takes orders over the phone, a MOTO merchant account from High-Risk Match will allow you to process these payments securely. Using a virtual terminal, you can manually enter payment information and complete transactions for card-not-present purchases. This is ideal for businesses with significant manual entry or for those offering collectible items through phone sales.

What Are the Requirements for a Collectibles Merchant Account?

To open a collectibles merchant account, you will need the following documents:

  • Proof of Identity: Government-issued photo ID
  • Three to Six Months of Bank Statements
  • A Signed Merchant Application
  • Corporate Documents
  • A Voided Check or Bank Letter
  • Address Verification: Utility bill or similar
  • Sales Tax Certificates
  • List of Suppliers

Additionally, your collectible business website must be secured with an SSL certificate, use HTTPS, and include the following:

  • Your company’s legal name and logo
  • Contact details: Phone number and email
  • Privacy Policy page
  • Terms & Conditions page
  • Return and Refund Policy page

Providing these documents will ensure a smoother and faster application process, allowing you to start accepting payments without unnecessary delays.
