Short answer
- Most singles in North America: TCGplayer.
- Europe: Cardmarket, with a 5% commission.
- Fast payout for a large stack: a buylist such as Card Kingdom.
- Graded or very valuable cards: eBay.
- Zero shipping: your local game store, at a lower price.
The right place depends on the card’s value, how fast you want the money and where you live. Fees below come from each platform’s help pages in November 2026. They change often, so check the current fee page before you list.
The Best Places to Sell MTG Cards Compared
| Where | Fees | Best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| TCGplayer | 10.75% commission (capped at $75 per product) + 2.5% + $0.30 per order | Singles from around $2 up to high-value cards, North America | Fixed fee hurts cheap cards; you ship every order |
| eBay | 13.25% final value fee + $0.30 or $0.40 per order | Graded, rare or high-value cards | Fee also applies to shipping and tax; buyer disputes |
| Cardmarket | 5% commission, no listing fees | Selling in Europe | Mostly European buyers; shipping costs vary by country |
| Card Kingdom (buylist) | No fees; payout is a percentage of the Near Mint buy price, +30% if you take store credit | Fast sale of many cards at once | Pays below market; buylist needs change, so check it first |
| Local game store | No fees | Instant payment, no shipping | Lowest offers, often store credit |
What You Keep: Fees on a Single Card
Fees for one card sold in its own order, shipping excluded, using the rates above for a standard TCGplayer seller, eBay and Cardmarket.
| Sale price | TCGplayer | eBay | Cardmarket |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5.00 | $0.96 (19.2%) | $0.96 (19.3%) | $0.25 (5.0%) |
| $20.00 | $2.95 (14.8%) | $3.05 (15.3%) | $1.00 (5.0%) |
| $100.00 | $13.55 (13.6%) | $13.65 (13.7%) | $5.00 (5.0%) |
The fixed per-order fee is why cheap cards lose the most: a $5 card loses about a fifth of its price on TCGplayer or eBay. Sell low-value cards together in one order or to a buylist.
Which Place Fits Your Situation
- A few valuable cards: list them on TCGplayer or eBay and set the price from the market price.
- A big collection and no time: take it to a buylist or a local store, knowing you will get less.
- Bulk and cheap cards: sell them as lots or to a store; single-card listings are not worth the fees.
- Living in Europe: Cardmarket is built for you.
