Make yourself familiar with the GAB code and rules BEFORE you sign up!!!

G.A.B. Code

Any member found guilty of using himself or herself as a reference will be expelled from G.A.B. immediately.

A G.A.B. member must:

1) Deal with other traders in an honest and respectful manner.

2) Send cards when promised.

3) Send cards in mint/near mint condition unless otherwise agreed.

4) Send cards with approved protection as defined in the FAQs.

5) NOT take advantage of other traders because of G.A.B. membership.

6) NOT demand that others send first without a valid reason.

Failure to comply with the G.A.B. rules will result in the member facing disciplinary action, which may result in their dismissal from G.A.B.

Disciplinary Action will occur as follows:

1^st Infraction: Letter of warning from Team Leader specifying the alleged infraction. Member will be given an opportunity to refute the charges and/or make amends.

2^nd Infraction: Member will be placed "On Probation" for a period of at least 3 months. A list of "Probationary Members" will be maintained and linked with the Search Engine. Member’s Team Page will be marked with a ¶ to indicate they are on probation. In addition, the member may be demoted one rank for a major infraction.

3^rd Infraction: Immediate expulsion from G.A.B. along with a listing of Expelled Members to prevent reapplication. This list will also be linked to the Search Engine.

G.A.B. Standards and Guidelines

A G.A.B. member should:

1) Notify G.A.B. when they discover a bad trader.

2) Get permission before using someone as a reference. A trade should be completed to the satisfaction of all before it is used as a reference.

3) Notify trading partners when cards have arrived.

4) Reply to all reference requests in a timely and thorough manner.

5) Reply to trade requests promptly and civilly.

6) Because our online communication reflects on all of G.A.B., members should do their best to correspond using correct spelling, grammar and punctuation whenever possible.
