What is Ballers Market?

Ballers Market is a curated resale platform where you shop pre-loved and selected new pieces straight from the closets of professional footballers. Every item is authenticated and quality-checked, and a part of the proceeds supports social impact initiatives.

How does Ballers Market work?

We work directly with players to clear out their wardrobes. We authenticate, photograph and sell their pieces online, and part of the collection is also sold in person at The Salvation Army ReShare Store in Rotterdam (Korte Hoogstraat 11–13). With every purchase, you support circular fashion and the cause the player chose.

Who can shop on Ballers Market?

Anyone of legal age in their own country can shop on Ballers Market. We ship to every EU country, plus the United Kingdom, Norway, Andorra, Liechtenstein and Monaco, and to Australia, Canada and New Zealand. Prices per country are in our shipping policy.

Do I need an account to place an order?

No, you can check out as a guest. However, creating an account lets you track your orders more easily, view your order history and save your details for faster checkout next time.

How do I create an account?

Click on the account icon in the top-right corner or use the “Login” link. Choose “Create account”, fill in your details and confirm your email address. Your account will be ready to use immediately.

I forgot my password – how can I reset it?

Go to the login page and click “Forgot password?”. Enter the email address linked to your account and follow the instructions in the email you receive to create a new password.

How do I update my email, address or other account details?

Log in to your account and go to your account settings. There you can update your personal details, email address and saved addresses. Make sure your information is correct before placing a new order.

Can I save my favourite items or players?

Yes. Use the wishlist to save any item you want to come back to; you will find it in the top menu. There is no follow-a-player option yet, so to hear about a new closet first, sign up for the newsletter.

How do I subscribe or unsubscribe from the newsletter?

You can subscribe via the email form on our homepage or during checkout. To unsubscribe, click the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any newsletter. Your preference will be updated automatically.

Why don't I see every item from a player's closet online?

Most pieces are listed online. Some are sold in person, at a pop-up or at The Salvation Army ReShare Store in Rotterdam, and those may not appear on the site.

What's the difference between buying online and in-store?

Online items come with their own photos, measurements and condition rating, you can order them at any price, and you can return them within 14 days. In-store you can try pieces on and take them home the same day.

Why do some in-store pieces have no photos online?

Pieces we sell in person, at ReShare Rotterdam or at a pop-up, are not always photographed for the site. Everything listed on ballers-market.com has its own photos and description.

Are items reserved for me when they’re in my cart?

No, placing an item in your cart does not reserve it. Items remain available for other shoppers until you complete payment at checkout, so popular pieces can still sell out while they are in your cart.

An item I wanted is sold out – will it come back?

Most items on Ballers Market are one-of-one pieces from player closets, which means they will not be restocked once sold. Occasionally, similar items may appear in future drops from the same or different players, so keep an eye on new arrivals and player collections.

Products, sizing & quality

Are all items pre-loved, or do you also sell new items?

Most pieces on Ballers Market are pre-loved items directly from player closets. Occasionally, we also offer selected new or unworn items that still come with our authentication and quality checks.

How do I know which player an item came from?

Each product page clearly shows the player the item came from, usually in the title and near the price. Your order also includes a Certificate of Authenticity confirming that the piece originates from that player.

What information do you provide about each item?

On each product page you’ll find the player name, brand, size, condition rating, material, colour and additional notes on fit or special details. We also share the impact information so you can see which cause your purchase supports.

What do your condition labels (Unworn, Pristine, Excellent, Good, Pre-loved) mean?

We use five condition labels. “Unworn” means totally unused with all main accessories present. “Pristine” looks new or nearly impossible to tell it has been worn. “Excellent” shows minimal signs of wear. “Good” has more than one visible imperfection. “Pre-loved” shows clear signs of age or use but is still fully wearable.

Do items come with original boxes, tags or accessories?

If original boxes, tags or accessories are included, this will be mentioned in the product description. Not every item still has its original packaging, so always check the details on the specific product page.

Are there any defects or signs of wear I should be aware of?

We aim to show and describe relevant signs of wear, such as small marks, fabric fading or minor scuffs, in the product photos and description. For higher levels of wear, this will be clearly reflected in the condition rating and notes.

How can I be sure the size is correct?

We list the size from the original label and, where possible, add measurements in centimetres on the product page. If you are unsure, compare the measurements with a similar item you already own, or email us at info@ballers-market.com for extra guidance.

Do you provide measurements for each item?

Where relevant, we add key measurements such as chest width, length and waist. If a listing does not yet show measurements and you need them, you can reach out to us and we will do our best to provide extra details.

Is there a general size guide available?

We are working with many different brands, fits and player preferences, so there is no single size chart that covers everything. When possible, we link to a size guide or add specific comments if an item runs larger or smaller than usual.

What if the player’s size is different from my usual size?

Players often wear sizes that may be looser or more fitted than your day-to-day style. Always follow the measurements and condition notes rather than the player’s body type alone, and consider how you like your clothing to fit.

Can I try items on anywhere?

You can't try online items on before you buy, but the size, measurements and condition details help you choose, and you can return an online purchase within 14 days. At the ReShare Store in Rotterdam you can try pieces on in the shop.

How should I care for my item after purchase?

We recommend following the care instructions on the garment label and treating the piece like any premium fashion item. When in doubt, choose gentle washing, low temperatures and air drying, or use a trusted dry cleaner for delicate materials.

Do you clean items before listing them?

All items go through a quality and hygiene check before being made available for sale. Where necessary, we refresh or treat garments so they are ready to wear, while still respecting the original materials and details.

Can you recommend how to care for special pieces like delicate fabrics or sneakers?

For delicate fabrics such as knitwear, silk or leather, we suggest specialist cleaning or a trusted dry cleaner. For sneakers, use a soft brush, mild cleaner and avoid high heat or harsh chemicals to preserve shape and materials.

Orders, payment & checkout

How do I place an order?

Browse our online selection, choose your size, and click “Add to cart”. When you’re ready, go to your cart, review the items and proceed to checkout. Enter your shipping and payment details, confirm your order, and you’ll receive an order confirmation by email.

Can I order from multiple players in one checkout?

Yes, you can combine items from different players in a single order. All items in your cart will be processed together at checkout and shipped to you in line with our shipping policy.

Can I edit my order after placing it?

Once an order is placed, it enters our fulfilment process quickly. This means we’re usually not able to change items, sizes or shipping details. If you spot a mistake, contact us as soon as possible and we’ll let you know what is still possible.

I didn’t receive an order confirmation – what should I do?

First check your spam or promotions folder and make sure you entered the correct email address at checkout. If you still can’t find your confirmation after 30–60 minutes, contact our support team with your name and, if possible, the last four digits of your payment card or transaction ID.

Which payment methods do you accept?

We accept iDEAL, Bancontact, Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Which of these you see depends on your country – the full list appears at checkout.

In which currency will I be charged?

All prices on ballers-market.com are shown and charged in euros (€), unless stated otherwise at checkout. If your bank account or card is in another currency, your provider will handle the conversion.

Are my payments secure?

Yes. We use trusted payment providers and encrypted connections, and we do not store your full card details on our servers. All transactions are processed through certified payment gateways to keep your data safe.

When will my card or account be charged?

Your payment is processed immediately when you confirm your order at checkout. If, in the rare case, an item is unavailable after payment, we will refund the amount for that item.

Will I be charged any additional bank or conversion fees?

Ballers Market charges you the amount shown at checkout. Your bank or payment provider may apply additional fees or currency conversion costs, which are outside of our control. For details, please check with your bank or payment provider.

Can I use more than one discount code on the same order?

No. Only one discount code or promotion can be applied per order. Gift cards can usually be used together with a discount code, unless stated otherwise in the promotion terms.

Can I change my shipping address after placing my order?

Once an order has been processed or shipped, we usually cannot change the delivery address. If you entered the wrong address, contact us immediately. If the parcel is returned to us, we will discuss the next steps with you.

What happens if my payment fails or is declined?

If your payment fails, your order will not be completed and the items will remain available for other customers. You can try again with the same or a different payment method. If the problem continues, contact your bank or our support team for help.

How can I see the status of my order and any changes?

You can view your order status via the link in your order confirmation email or by logging into your account. We’ll also email you when your order has been packed and when it has been shipped with a tracking link.

Shipping & delivery

Which countries do you ship to?

We ship to every EU country, plus the United Kingdom, Norway, Andorra, Liechtenstein and Monaco, and to Australia, Canada and New Zealand. Prices per country are in our shipping policy, and checkout shows the exact cost before you pay.

What are your shipping options and costs?

Shipping is a flat rate per zone, shown at checkout before you pay. Netherlands: €8.50, free from €100. Belgium, France, Germany and Luxembourg: €12.50, free from €100. Rest of Europe: €12.50, free from €150. United Kingdom: €12.50. Australia, Canada and New Zealand: €30.

How long will delivery take?

We pack and ship within 1–3 business days. Delivery then takes 1–3 business days in the Netherlands and 3–7 business days elsewhere in Europe. The United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and New Zealand take longer, and customs can add time. You get a tracking link as soon as your parcel leaves us.

Do you offer express or same-day delivery?

Express options may be available for certain countries and will be shown at checkout if offered. Same-day delivery is not guaranteed and depends on your location and the carrier options available at the time of ordering.

Do you ship to PO boxes or pick-up points?

Whether we can deliver to PO boxes or pick-up points depends on the shipping carrier and your country. If these options are available, they will appear during checkout when you select your shipping method and address.

How can I track my order?

Once your order has been shipped, you will receive a shipping confirmation email containing a tracking link or tracking number. You can use this link to follow your parcel’s journey until it arrives at your address.

My tracking link isn’t updating – what should I do?

Tracking information can take some time to refresh, especially around weekends or holidays. If there is no update for several days, check your carrier’s website directly and then contact our support team with your order number and tracking ID if you still have concerns.

My parcel is delayed – can you help?

Delivery times are estimates and can be affected by carrier delays, customs or local conditions. If your parcel is significantly delayed beyond the expected window, reach out to our support team so we can investigate with the carrier.

My order arrived damaged – what now?

If your order arrives with visible damage, please take clear photos of the packaging and the item as soon as possible. Contact us with these photos and your order number so we can review the situation and discuss the best solution with you.

My package shows as delivered, but I haven’t received it – what should I do?

First, check with neighbours, building reception or family members to see if they accepted the parcel on your behalf. Also verify the delivery address on your order. If you still can’t locate the package, contact the carrier and then our support team with your tracking details so we can help investigate.

Will I have to pay customs duties or import taxes?

Depending on your delivery country, your order may be subject to customs duties, VAT or import taxes. These charges are set by your local authorities and are not included in our product prices unless clearly stated at checkout.

Who is responsible for customs charges?

Any customs duties, taxes or import fees are the responsibility of the recipient. The carrier may contact you directly to arrange payment before delivering the parcel.

What happens if I refuse to pay customs fees?

Your parcel may be returned to us or destroyed by the carrier or customs. If it comes back to us, we refund the item price minus the original shipping and any return charges the carrier bills us.

Returns, refunds & cancellations

Can I return my order?

Yes. You can return an online order within 14 days of receiving it, without giving a reason. Email info@ballers-market.com with your order number, then send the item back within 14 days to Ballers Market, Gestelsestraat 25D, 5615 LA Eindhoven, the Netherlands. You pay the return shipping. Full details are in our returns and refund policy.

What condition does a return need to be in?

Send the item back as you received it, with its tags, certificate of authenticity and packaging. You can try it on the way you would in a shop. If it has been worn or damaged beyond that, we may deduct the loss in value from your refund.

Can I exchange an item for a different size or colour?

No. Each product is one specific item from a closet, so we don't have the same piece in another size or colour. If it doesn't fit, you can return it within 14 days and choose another piece.

What if I receive the wrong item?

Contact us as soon as possible with your order number and clear photos of what you received. If we made a mistake, we pay the return shipping and send a replacement where possible, or refund you in full. That is our Buyer Promise.

What if the item is not as described or has undisclosed damage?

Contact us as soon as you notice, with photos and your order number. If we confirm an error in our listing or authentication, we pay the return shipping and refund you in full, or agree another solution with you. This comes on top of your 14-day right to return and your statutory rights.

How do I contact you about a problem with my order?

Email us at info@ballers-market.com. Include your order number, photos where relevant and a short description of the problem, so we can help you as quickly as possible. We aim to reply within 1–2 business days.

In which cases do you offer a refund?

You get a refund when you return an online order within 14 days, or when we made a mistake, such as sending the wrong item, missing damage or getting the authentication wrong. For a change of mind you pay the return shipping; when it's our mistake, we do.

How long does it take to process a refund?

We refund within 14 days of receiving your cancellation. We may wait until the item is back with us or you've shown us proof of sending. How quickly the money then shows on your account depends on your bank or payment provider.

How will I receive my refund?

Refunds are usually sent via the same payment method you used for the original purchase, unless we explicitly agree on a different solution with you. We do not charge additional fees for issuing a refund.

Can I get store credit instead of a refund?

In some cases we may offer store credit as an alternative to a monetary refund, for example if you prefer to use the amount on another item. Any such arrangements will be discussed with you individually and confirmed by our support team.

Can I cancel my order if I change my mind?

Yes. If your order hasn't shipped yet, email us straight away and we cancel it and refund you in full. Once it has shipped, you can still return it within 14 days of receiving it.

What happens if Ballers Market cancels my order?

In rare cases we may have to cancel an order, for example if an item is not available or fails a final quality check. When this happens, we will inform you and refund the amount you paid for that item in line with our refund process.

Authenticity & quality control

How can I be sure an item is authentic?

Every item on Ballers Market goes through a strict authentication process. Our team inspects details such as labels, stitching, materials and brand-specific features to verify that each piece is genuine before it goes online.

Do you provide a Certificate of Authenticity with each purchase?

Yes. Your online purchase includes a Certificate of Authenticity that confirms the item was sourced through Ballers Market’s verified process and links it to the player’s closet it came from.

Where do you get your items from?

We work directly with professional footballers, their teams and trusted representatives. Items come from curated wardrobe clean-outs and collaborations managed by Ballers Market, not from random third-party sellers.

Can I verify that an item came directly from a specific player?

Each player closet is curated and managed by Ballers Market, and the Certificate of Authenticity ties items to the correct player. For additional reassurance, you can check our player pages and official communications where collaborations are highlighted.

How do you check the quality and condition of items?

Our team inspects each piece by hand before listing it online. We look at fabric, seams, hardware, prints and overall wear, and we assign a condition rating based on our internal standards so you know what to expect.

Who authenticates and inspects the pieces?

Items are authenticated and inspected by Ballers Market’s in-house team and trusted experts with experience in premium fashion and sportswear. We do not rely solely on seller descriptions.

What does your Buyer Promise mean?

We stand behind the authenticity and described condition of every online item. If something is clearly not as described or fails our standards in a way we missed, we pay the return shipping and refund you in full, or agree another solution with you. It comes on top of your 14-day right to return.

What if I disagree with the condition rating?

If you feel the condition of your item does not match the photos and rating on the product page, contact us with clear pictures and your order number. We will compare your feedback to our listing and decide together on the next steps.

Impact, The Salvation Army ReShare, player foundations & first clubs

How does my purchase create impact?

Your purchase keeps quality clothing in use for longer and helps fund social projects. Depending on the item, part or all of the proceeds support The Salvation Army ReShare or a foundation or first club chosen by the player.

Which causes does Ballers Market support?

We support The Salvation Army ReShare and the causes players choose themselves, such as their own foundation or the club they started at. The exact cause can differ per player or collection.

Do all items support the same cause?

No. Some items support ReShare, others a foundation or first club chosen by the player. On each player and product page, we show which cause you support with that purchase.

How do I know which cause an item supports?

Online product pages show an impact label and a “What this item supports” section. Player pages also explain whether their earnings go to ReShare, their own foundation or their first club, so you can see who benefits from your purchase.

Who is The Salvation Army ReShare?

The Salvation Army ReShare is the clothing label of The Salvation Army in the Netherlands. They collect, reuse and resell clothing to support people in vulnerable situations and to reduce textile waste through ReShare Stores across the country.

How does Ballers Market work with ReShare Rotterdam?

Ballers Market and ReShare Rotterdam work together to bring pieces from player closets into the ReShare Store. This creates a shared space where football culture, pre-loved fashion and social support meet in the centre of Rotterdam.

How do the pieces at ReShare support The Salvation Army's work?

The pieces we bring into ReShare help keep their store stocked with desirable clothing at accessible prices. This supports The Salvation Army's work in clothing, care and community services across the Netherlands.

Can I donate clothing directly to ReShare via Ballers Market?

At the moment, Ballers Market focuses on curated closets from professional players. If you would like to donate clothing yourself, you can use The Salvation Army ReShare’s own collection points and bins across the Netherlands.

How do player foundations and first clubs fit into Ballers Market?

Some players choose to donate their earnings to their own foundation or to the club they started at. On their player page and product pages you will see if a closet supports a personal foundation, a first club or The Salvation Army ReShare.

ReShare Rotterdam & in-store shopping

Where can I shop Ballers Market pieces in Rotterdam?

In person at The Salvation Army ReShare Store, Korte Hoogstraat 11–13, 3011 GJ Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

Do I need an appointment to visit the ReShare Store?

No appointment is needed. The ReShare Store operates like a regular shop with fixed opening hours. Before visiting, we recommend checking ReShare’s current opening times on their channels or on our ReShare Rotterdam information page.

Can I try items on in the ReShare Store?

Yes. The ReShare Store lets you try on items just like any other clothing shop, so you can check fit and feel before you buy.

Are the same items in-store also visible online?

Not always. Pieces in the ReShare Store are sold on the racks and may not be listed on ballers-market.com. Everything you see online can be ordered and shipped.

Can I reserve an item in the ReShare Store?

No. Pieces in the ReShare Store are sold directly on the racks, so we can't reserve them. If you've seen a piece on ballers-market.com, order it online to be sure it's yours.

Why are some items only in-store and not online?

Some pieces go to ReShare Rotterdam to stay close to the community and keep part of the collection affordable in person. Everything on ballers-market.com, at any price, can be ordered online.

Will you ever move in-store items to the online platform?

Everything listed on ballers-market.com can be ordered online. Pieces on the racks at ReShare are sold in person. If you're looking for something specific, email us and we'll check.

Can I return or exchange in-store purchases through Ballers Market?

Purchases made directly at the ReShare Store follow ReShare’s own policies and are not handled through the Ballers Market online system. For questions about an in-store purchase, please contact the ReShare Store staff or refer to ReShare’s guidelines.

Players & selling with Ballers Market

How do players join Ballers Market?

We invite and onboard professional footballers and sometimes their agents to curate a selection of items from their closets. Each collaboration is managed by Ballers Market so we can handle sorting, authentication and impact in a consistent way.

Do players earn money on their sales?

Yes. Players can earn from the sale of their items, but many choose to donate a portion or all of their earnings to social causes, foundations or first clubs. The setup can differ per player and collection.

What is an Ambassador vs an Impact player?

Ambassadors are players who donate 100% of their Ballers Market earnings to a chosen cause. Impact players donate a share of each sale while keeping part of their earnings. Both are clearly labeled on player and product pages so you can see who gives what.

How do players decide what percentage they donate?

Players choose whether they want to donate 100%, a fixed share, or link only part of their closet to a cause. Ballers Market helps them structure this and communicates it clearly on their player page and per product where relevant.

I’m a player – how can I sell my items on Ballers Market?

Email us at info@ballers-market.com with a short note about who you are and what is in your wardrobe. We will come back to you to talk through how your closet and your impact model would work.

Can I choose to donate 100% of my earnings?

Yes. Many Ambassadors choose to donate all of their Ballers Market earnings to a specific cause, foundation or first club. Our team can help you define and communicate this clearly on your player page and product listings.

Can I link my sales to my own foundation or first club?

Yes. We regularly work with players who want to support their own foundation or the club where they started their career. During onboarding, we agree together which initiatives your closet will support and how this is shown to buyers.

Who handles collection, photography and listing of my items?

Ballers Market coordinates the collection, authentication, photography and listing of your pieces. You focus on selecting the items and choosing the causes you want to support, while we handle the operational side and impact storytelling.

Sustainability & circularity

What makes Ballers Market a sustainable choice?

Ballers Market extends the life of quality clothing instead of producing new items. By focusing on pre-loved pieces from player closets and working with partners like ReShare, we help reduce textile waste and keep fashion in use longer.

How does buying pre-loved reduce my environmental impact?

Buying pre-loved means you’re using what already exists instead of driving new production, which typically requires new materials, energy and water. Each pre-loved purchase helps lower the overall footprint of your wardrobe.

What is your approach to packaging and shipping emissions?

We use packaging that is as minimal and recyclable as possible while still protecting your items. Shipping has an environmental impact, which is why we focus on longer product lifecycles, careful consolidation and impact collaborations.

Why do you focus on pre-loved items from athletes?

Athletes build up unique wardrobes with quality pieces that often still have a long life ahead of them. By opening up their closets, we combine style, storytelling and circularity in a way that attracts attention and drives more people into pre-loved fashion.

How do you decide what goes online and what goes to ReShare?

Together with players we sort closets by condition and audience. Pieces are photographed and sold online with full impact transparency, and part of the collection also goes to ReShare Rotterdam to stay accessible in person and support their social work.

Do you collaborate with other sustainability partners?

Our core sustainability partner is The Salvation Army ReShare, and we stay open to collaborations that strengthen our circular and social mission. New partnerships will be announced through our news and impact pages.
