help pages - creating an account

We require everyone who uses the Toy Peddler website to register with us and create an account. You'll need to register before you can buy or sell items on the site, or contact another Toy Peddler member. Registration is a quick process, with a single form used to collect the necessary information.

Please be sure to check the form for accuracy, as the information you provide will be used to notify your transaction partners of your contact information. Once you submit the form, we'll send you a confirmation email to the email address entered on the form. You will need to open that email and click the link in that message in order to confirm your address and activate your account. Until you click that link or enter it into your browser, your account will not be active, and you will not be able to take any action on the site.

There are no fees for signing up at The Toy Peddler; we previously charged a sign-up fee for all members, but with the inclusion of additional checks on our registration process we decided to remove that fee. So registration and renewal of your account is free, you'll only pay if you choose to list an item on the site.

We'll ask you to renew your membership on the Toy Peddler annually after you've registered. If more than a year has passed since you registered or last renewed your account, you'll be prompted to renew before you can access the site and participate in any transactions.

Alternatively, you can check your renewal date in Your Account, and follow the link to renew your account ahead of the expiration date. There's no cost to renew your account, but it provides us with an opportunity to reconfirm your contact information.
