I know a year or so ago their was a similar discussion, but I would be interested to see peoples input on tcgplayer. I have for years just gone onto tcg and found the cheapest NM price and then just match it. Didn't matter how many stars or how many sales.

What I am trying to get rid of at least on my list are cards less 2.00 each. I see that they charge their percentage plus .50 per transaction.

At what percentage should I just buylist the little cards?

Myself I never deal in standard cards, what actually sells on tcg?

Using an example of say the card Humility. I am asking 12.00 for them, they sell for 12.50. Would you list yours then at 12.50 on tcg? or 12.00?

I can not be the only one curious about tcgplayer, but I know only what people have shared. Yes I have read their page, but I am more interested in peoples actual experience with the website.

As for the my first impressions, I got 6 orders($200 total) in the first 45min of my inventory being launched. I am now on hold until those get delivered(new acct). But overall I was happy with the soft launch. Fees are expensive, but might be worth it. Will have more impressions early next week when I go fully live!

Prepare yourself. After I hit the right levels and was able to list any amount I listed over 500 cards in one night and recieved like 30+ orders in one day!

I've been selling on tcgplayer using crystal commerce for about a year now and I have to say the crystal commerce fee is a pain in the butt. I've been averaging about a sale a day, I really love the crystal commerce soft ware but the ebay integration just doesn't seem to work.

Also if you want a custom website using the crystal commerce design people its very pricy.... I'm looking to get a logo for my site and they want over $1,000. Which I suppose isn't super expensive but its more then I thought it would be.

Agreed. MOTL used to be THE place to buy, sell, trade. I still prefer to trade here, though it's like often like pulling teeth to get people to trade fairly these days.

I will pay a little more if it's a reputable dealer vs random dude with 30 sales. I also trust the conditions of cards from members with more sales.

I also do this.

for me, when i build a cart of 20-100 cards, I use the optimizer and never even look at seller feedback. Aside from the minor inconvenience of having to wait for the seller to resolve any issues, there's no real danger in taking the cheapest card.

A friend at work told me he started selling cards on TCG and found that he was getting tons of sales even though he wasn't trying to be the lowest.

One guy ordered a playset of Judge foil dreadnaughts then I guess found them cheaper else where. Asked me to cancel the order a day later. I had already packaged and sent it off, so I told him when the package comes he can refuse it and have it returned to me or he can mail them back. Never heard from him again.

Another guy orders a $5 card then messages me to send it right away because he needed it that weekend.

1) Got about 100 orders I believe. Ranging from $1 to $300. Most average orders were around 15. Averaging maybe 4 cards per order.

2) I was very surprised by the amount of non NM cards I have sold. Probably only 10% of the cards I sold were NM

3) I am currently using a $2 shipping setting. so I can ship with tracking I refuse to ship PWE as I don't want to take losses, and hate hand writing addresses lol. I am considering changing to a $1.25 shipping, and just sending anything expensive via tracking and have a small loss, which should then equal out all the small PWE stuff
