Yes, sellers need an active monthly or yearly subscription to list cards for sale. This flat-fee model means no per-sale commissions — you keep 100% of your sale price. Buyers can browse and purchase without a subscription.

Browse the marketplace, click on a card you're interested in, and hit "Buy Now." You'll be taken through a secure checkout. You can also make an offer on any listing that has offers enabled.

SMC Authentication is a buyer-optional $10 verification add-on for higher-value cards. Instead of shipping straight to you, the card routes through SMC first — we verify it matches the original listing, repack it, and ship it to you with tracking. See the full step-by-step breakdown.

No. Anyone can browse active card listings without creating an account. An account and an active membership are only required to sell or trade.

If a seller has enabled offers on their listing, you'll see a "Make Offer" button. Enter your offer amount and an optional message. The seller can accept, decline, or counter your offer. You'll be notified of any response.

Visit the Trade section to post cards you'd like to trade and specify what you're looking for in return. Other collectors can browse trade listings and propose swaps. Both parties must agree before a trade is confirmed.

Once a seller accepts your offer, you'll receive a notification to complete the purchase at the agreed price. You'll have a limited time to complete checkout before the offer expires.

Sellers pay a flat monthly or yearly subscription fee — no per-sale commissions. A payment processing fee of approximately 2.9% of the order total plus $0.30 is added to the buyer's total at checkout, calculated the same way real card-processing costs work and passed through to cover that cost.

A payment processing fee of approximately 2.9% of the order total plus $0.30 is added to your order total at checkout, calculated the same way real card-processing costs work. This covers secure payment processing. There are no hidden fees beyond that and any applicable shipping costs.

All items can be shipped through pirateshipping.com — click the Pirate Ship link in your Seller Dashboard to set up an account. Alternatively, sellers can purchase a shipping label privately through any carrier of their choice. If a label is purchased privately, it is the seller's responsibility to enter the tracking number in the order details. Without a tracking number, the platform cannot confirm delivery and escrow funds cannot be released to the seller.

You can set a flat rate shipping cost (average of sending a single card is $5–7 with USPS depending on the recipient's address) or get a shipping cost estimate at https://www.parcelmonkey.com/shipping-calculator. You can enter the shipping cost into your listing once calculated. We recommend a flat rate of $5–6 shipping for all single cards, but the seller makes the final decision on shipping cost and rate to be charged to the buyer.

Go to your Seller Dashboard and click the "Cancel Subscription" button at the top of the page. Your access continues until the end of the current billing period.

Sellers are expected to ship within 3 business days of a confirmed sale. Repeated failures to ship on time may result in account suspension.

Contact support at support@sellmycardnow.shop with your order details. Sellers who fail to ship cards on time are subject to suspension or removal from the platform.

Yes! The $25/month Seller plan includes full access to the trade section. If you only want to trade, the $10/month Trade Only plan is available.

Email support@sellmycardnow.shop with the seller's name or email, your order ID, and a description of the issue. We take policy violations seriously.

Your funds from a sale will be held in escrow until confirmation of the shipped card has occurred. The package tracking software will update when the package is delivered and trigger the escrow funds release.

New sellers have a brief hold period on their very first payouts (funds are still guaranteed to release once the protection window passes) while they build a track record on the platform. Once a seller completes several orders without any disputes, this hold is lifted and future payouts follow the standard protection-window schedule only.

High-value orders above a set threshold require additional verification steps and, in some cases, a signature on delivery, as part of SellMyCardNow's buyer-protection process. This is separate from third-party grading (PSA, SGC, BGS, etc.) — SellMyCardNow does not grade cards itself but supports listings for already-graded cards from major grading companies.

Buyers can report a problem directly on the order, which immediately freezes the fund release regardless of where the order is in the protection-window countdown. SellMyCardNow's admin team reviews the claim and can release funds, issue a refund, or otherwise resolve the dispute before any money changes hands.
