Seller’s Loot – Learn More
Seller’s Loot is a reward you earn when buying from a seller on Sportlots. You can spend that loot on future purchases with that same seller. This page explains the columns on the Seller’s Loot screen and how loot timing works.
What the Columns Mean
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Seller | The seller’s ID (click to view their inventory). Icons may indicate preferred status, box shipping discounts, or the seller’s loot percent. |
| Pending Loot | Loot you’ve earned but can’t spend yet. Loot becomes available 48 hours after the purchase that earned it. Click the ⏰ icon to see when the next pending amount unlocks. |
| Total Loot | The spendable now loot with that seller (already past the 48-hour wait and not expired). |
| Next Expiring | The amount that will expire next (soonest), based on its individual expiration date. |
| Expires In | A countdown timer showing how long until that next expiring amount disappears. |
Earning, Availability, and Expiration
- Earning: When you complete a purchase with a seller, a percentage of that sale becomes loot tied to that seller.
- Availability Delay: Loot becomes available 48 hours after the purchase (shown as
available_date). - Expiration: Unused loot expires after 90 days from the purchase date (shown as
expiry_date).
How Spending Works
- You can only spend a seller’s loot on that same seller’s items.
- Loot applies to your order total with that seller until you run out of loot or the order is fully covered.
- Loot only applies to the cost of the card(s), not the shipping amount or sales tax.
- If you have multiple loot entries with the same seller, the system applies the oldest expiring loot first.
Examples
- Pending vs Total: You earned $3.00 in loot today. For the next 48 hours it appears under Pending Loot. After 48 hours, it moves into Total Loot.
- Expiration: A $2.00 loot credit earned on March 1 expires 90 days later. If you haven’t used it by then, it disappears.
- Multiple entries: If you have two unspent loot entries ($1.50 and $0.75) with the same seller, we apply the one expiring sooner first during checkout.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why can’t I spend Pending Loot?
Loot becomes available 48 hours after the purchase that earned it. Until then it remains in Pending.
Why does the countdown hit zero but the row doesn’t change immediately?
The system updates in short intervals. If a timer hits zero, the row will reflect the change shortly.
Can I move loot between sellers?
No. Loot earned from a seller can only be used with that same seller.
How do I find the sellers inventory so I can spend the loot?
Just click on the seller ID on the "Seller Loot" page and you will be brought to that sellers inventory, just use the search bar and filters going forward to narrow down the sellers inventory to find cards you may be interested in.
Where can I see the details of how much loot I earned from each order?
Your Seller’s Loot screen aggregates amounts by seller. Individual entries are tracked internally by order and date.
