Secure transaction methods tailored for museum-quality acquisitions
At ToyCraft Models, we understand that our global community of serious collectors demands payment solutions as precise and reliable as our scale models. Our curated payment options reflect the same commitment to excellence that defines our 1:18 diecast masterpieces and aviation replicas.
Why Our Payment Process Stands Apart
Just as our quality control team meticulously inspects each model’s panel gaps and paint applications, our payment systems undergo rigorous security protocols. We’ve processed over 15,000 transactions for collectors across six continents without a single reported security breach.
Accepted Payment Methods
Credit Cards
All major credit card transactions benefit from:
- PCI-DSS Level 1 compliance (the highest security standard)
- Instant payment verification for immediate order processing
- 3D Secure authentication for added protection
Note: We never store raw credit card data – all transactions are processed through our banking partners’ secure systems.
PayPal
The preferred method for international collectors offers:
- Buyer protection for purchases up to $20,000
- Currency conversion across 25+ currencies
- Faster checkout for returning customers
Particularly recommended when acquiring limited edition pieces or rare 1:43 scale models from our vault collection.
Transaction Security Measures
Just as we use reinforced double-wall boxes for shipping, our payment systems feature multiple layers of protection:
- 256-bit SSL encryption – Equivalent to military-grade security for all data transmission
- Tokenization – Sensitive data is replaced with unique identification symbols
- Fraud screening – Advanced algorithms monitor for suspicious patterns
- Address Verification System (AVS) – Matches billing information with card issuer records
Special Considerations for High-Value Purchases
For acquisitions exceeding $500 (such as our premium 1:18 scale vehicles or complete diorama sets), we recommend:
- Using credit cards for built-in purchase protection
- Considering PayPal’s extended warranty options
- Splitting payments between multiple cards if needed

Currency & International Transactions
All prices are displayed in USD, but our system automatically:
- Calculates approximate local currency totals during checkout
- Discloses potential foreign transaction fees (determined by your bank)
- Provides customs-friendly documentation for international shipments
Pro Tip: Some collectors find using a credit card without foreign transaction fees saves 1-3% on international orders.
