Listing cards on Cardmarket in bulk
If you want to sell hundreds of cards, you are not looking for a trick but for the route with the least effort per card. On Cardmarket there are exactly three, and which one fits depends on what your stack looks like before you start.
The three routes
There are no more than these three, and each has its place.
- One by one via the product page: find the card, set the attributes, enter a price. Perfectly fine for a few or expensive cards, a reliable way to lose evenings for hundreds.
- Cardmarket’s built-in bulk listing, the “list by expansion” page: you pick a set and create several articles in one pass instead of opening every card separately.
- A file through an inventory tool: the stock is built elsewhere, imported as a file and published in one go.
What the bulk listing page handles and where it ends
For a stack that is already sorted by set, listing by expansion is a good route: you work through the set’s list instead of searching for every card. The page is only visible with an active seller account. Its limits sit where your stack does not look like that: it only takes a limited batch of articles per pass, and it does not help with the question of which of the many same-named versions is in front of you. Unsorted and mixed means many passes and a lot of searching.
Why the API is not an option
The obvious idea of doing the listing with your own script ends at a closed door: Cardmarket is currently not accepting new applications for API access. The old forum answer that there is nothing there for private individuals therefore still holds. If you want to list large quantities automatically, you go through files and through tools that already have the access.
The route via a file
Cardmarket’s own help lists TCG PowerTools as a partner app for inventory management. There, the stock is built from an import file: upload, check the columns, import, publish. The free version reads files in and publishes up to 50 new changes a day; beyond that you need a subscription there. The gain of this route is not the import itself but that the file can be built beforehand, wherever it is fastest.
Where the time really goes
A Cardmarket listing carries fixed attributes: the exact version from a specific set, condition, language, foil, plus edition or special treatment depending on the game. None of the three routes fills those in for you. With large quantities, it is not the form that decides how long the evening gets, but how quickly you determine the right version and its attributes per card. A card name does not describe a card but a family of printings with prices of their own.
What CardEntry takes over
CardEntry sits in front of the third route: you photograph the cards or upload existing images, check the matched versions and download a finished import file, one per card game. CardEntry writes nothing to Cardmarket itself; the last stretch goes through the import tool. And if your stack is sorted and all one set, we will say it as it is: then the set list is often faster than any camera.
The statements about Cardmarket’s bulk listing, the partner app and API access follow Cardmarket’s public help and news pages, and the statements about TCG PowerTools follow its public knowledge base, as of 4 August 2026. Interfaces and terms change; when in doubt, their documentation applies, not this page. CardEntry is an independent tool with no business relationship to TCG PowerTools or Cardmarket.
