7 layers of protection keep you safe from scams, fakes, and fraud. From identity verification to required tracking, photo proof, and dispute review — we provide the tools you need to trade with confidence.
Every transaction is protected from start to finish
Email, phone, and government ID verification. New accounts are restricted until verified. Bad actors can't just create throwaway accounts.
Mandatory real photos, duplicate detection, and auto-flagging of suspicious listings that are priced way below market value.
Every trade includes a buyer dispute window: raise an issue with evidence before a trade is marked complete, and our team reviews the trade record.
All items ship directly between users. Tracking numbers required for trades and sales over $25. Delivery confirmation needed before authorization release.
Trade score, star ratings, and reviews visible on every profile. New users have restricted limits. Trust is earned, not assumed.
Our system watches for suspicious patterns: multiple accounts, wash trading, abnormal dispute rates, and rapid-fire listings.
Both parties can open disputes with photo evidence. Admin reviews communications, tracking, and photos. All records preserved permanently.

When both traders accept, Poke-Trade creates an Authorized Trade Record and transfers ownership. Any cash difference is handled directly between the two traders — Poke-Trade does not hold or escrow trade funds. Choose how to complete:
Compare values, negotiate, and both parties accept. Poke-Trade records the agreed items, values, and terms.
Meet up and swap. Both confirm completion in the app — ideal for shows and conventions.
Ship directly to each other with tracking. Optional Cabrella shipping protection where available.
Premium: both ship to Poke-Trade, we verify each item, then forward to the new owners (coming soon).
Violations result in immediate account suspension and permanent ban.
ℹ️ Important: Poké-Trade is a technology platform that documents and tracks trades with required tracking, photo proof, and a dispute window. It is not insurance and does not guarantee, credit, or reimburse the value of any trade. For collection insurance, we recommend consulting a licensed insurance professional.
