Selling cards on Cardmarket

A listing is more than a price

Every listing carries fixed attributes: the exact version from a specific set, the condition on the scale from Mint to Poor, the language of the printing, foil or reverse holo, and the edition depending on the game. The comment is an extra, in English, and it must not contradict the attributes. The price hangs on these fields, not on salesmanship.

The three routes for listing cards

How many cards there are decides the route.

• One by one via the product page: for few or expensive cards.
• Cardmarket’s list-by-expansion page: for a stack sorted by set.
• Via a file through an inventory tool: for large and mixed quantities. There is a separate guide for that here.

Setting the price

Cardmarket shows price references per version: average, lowest, trend. They are independent of condition and therefore reference points, not a valuation of your card. Where your price sits is decided by condition, demand and your patience. There is deliberately no example number here; it would be ours, not yours.

Sale, packaging, shipping

After the sale, the practical part counts: pack safely and ship traceably, with tracking as the value rises. The binding rules on packaging, shipping costs and deadlines sit in Cardmarket’s own help, and that is where they should be read, because they change without us.

The calculation to keep in mind

Three items sit between the selling price and what remains: the selling fee as a share of the price, shipping and packaging per shipment, and your effort per card. With cheap cards, the effort eats the proceeds, so before listing it is worth asking what belongs in the shop individually and what belongs in a batch. There is a separate guide for that here too.

What CardEntry takes over

Nobody replaces the Cardmarket account for you, and for a handful of cards you do not need a tool either. CardEntry starts where the stack is large and mixed: upload photos, check the matched versions, download a finished import file per card game. The rest of the route, listing and shipping, stays the same as described above.
