Costume Terms of Purchase

Fete Finder provides the ability for FeteFinders.com registered individuals who no longer need or want a carnival costume that they purchased to resell their costume to other individuals. This page explains the process and responsibilities for the Seller and Buyer to resell and purchase the costume on FeteFinders.com.

DISCLAIMER:

Transactions where costumes are resold by another Fete Finder Patron on Fetefinders.com are strictly between the Buyer and the Seller.

Neither Fetefinders.com nor its owners accept any liability for moneys lost, items damaged, stolen, or any other claim relating to transactions between Buyer and Seller.

While Fete Finder verifies the actual original purchase of a costume, the Patron/Buyer accepts all exchanges of their purchase at their own risk.

You will not hold Fete Finder LLC liable if you do not comply with laws related to your transactions. We may provide law enforcement with information you provide to us related to your transactions to assist in any investigation or prosecution of you.

If we are unable to verify or authenticate any information or costumes you provide during any registration, ordering, purchase, costume posting, sale, authentication, delivery, payment or remittance process, or any other process, or if we are no longer able to verify or authorize your credit card or bank account information, we may refuse to honor all pending and future purchases made with those credit card or bank accounts and/or via any online accounts associated with those credit card or bank accounts. We may also prohibit you from using the site.

Seller's Process and Responsibilities

Listing a Costume

Only registered FeteFinders.com accounts can list a costume for resell.
Sellers must list the ORIGINAL total price for the costume, the amount the Seller has paid to date, and the remaining balance. The Purchase amount that the Buyer will see will be the amount that the Seller has paid to the mas band to date.
Costumes CANNOT be “marked up” for a profit.

Costume Payment Conditions

Payment will be released to the Seller within 1 business day upon the completion of the transaction.

FeteFinders.com uses both PayPal and Stripe payment processing to fulfill costume payment transactions. Both PayPal and Stripe charge a 2.9% + $0.30 payment processing fee for each transaction.

By agreeing to resell your costume on FeteFinders.com, you are agreeing to FeteFinders.com Terms of Purchase, and you the Seller are accepting our payment delivery date of 1 business day along with the payment processing fee, which will be taken from the payment that the Buyer pays when purchasing your costume.

Example: Tribe Frontline Costume costs $1200, the Seller has paid $500 to date. A Buyer purchases said costume, the Seller will receive $485.20 ($500 x 2.9% = $14.50 + $0.30 = $14.80) ($500 – $14.80 = $485.20)

If you are not willing to have this fee taken from the Buyer’s payment you will be unable to sell your costume on FeteFinders.com

By agreeing to these Terms of Purchase, you the Seller are agreeing to accept the payment processing fee.
