Buying on RacketPort

How do I find a suitable padel racket?

Search by brand or model and check shape, weight, playing level, condition, and price. Model pages help you compare offers for the same racket.

How do I compare offers?

Review condition, photos, description, seller profile, shipping costs, and total price. If anything is unclear, ask questions before buying.

How does the purchase work?

Open an offer, check the details, and buy through checkout. The seller then ships the racket and documents the shipment in the transaction.

How do I pay?

Payment runs through the RacketPort purchase flow with Stripe. Do not pay outside RacketPort because external payments are not supported by the platform process.

When should I confirm receipt?

Confirm receipt only after the racket has arrived and you have checked condition, model, and included items. If something is wrong, report it before confirming.

Model, condition, price, quantity, description, photos, and shipping details are important. Defects, cracks, repairs, or larger damage must be visible and clearly described.

Why do I need to set up Stripe?

What happens after the sale?

Shipping & delivery

How are shipping costs calculated?

Shipping costs are shown separately from the sale price. The exact amount depends on delivery country, shipping method, and the currently supported shipping rules.

Which countries are supported?

Supported countries can vary by shipping configuration. Check the offer or checkout to see whether delivery to your country is available.

Does the seller need to add a tracking number?

Yes. Tracking is important so shipping and delivery can be verified and the platform process can be completed cleanly.

What should the seller consider when shipping?

Pack the racket securely, protect the frame, face, and grip, and use tracked shipping. Photograph the package and receipt in case proof is needed later.

What should I do if the racket does not arrive?

First check tracking and contact the seller. If delivery remains unclear, report the problem to RacketPort on time and keep all proof.

Buyer protection & problem cases

RacketPort supports buyers with problem cases inside the platform process, for example non-delivery, a clear mismatch with the description, or suspected fraud. When a problem is reported, RacketPort can review messages, photos, tracking, shipping proof, and payment status and clarify the next steps in the platform process.

If something is wrong, contact the seller through the platform first. If the problem is not resolved, you can report the order or contact RacketPort.

Please keep photos, packaging, tracking information, and messages until the case is resolved.

RacketPort buyer protection is not a guarantee, insurance, or physical authenticity or condition inspection.
