How it works
How selling your Pokémon cards works.
Here is what happens, what you decide, and when your cards leave your hands.
Build your list
Add the set, collector number, language, and quantity for each card. At this point we only need an email address, and you have not agreed to sell anything.
We do the market work
We compare the exact card with current Cardmarket listings, taking the printing, language, and claimed condition into account. We buy for resale, so our offer is below retail. A collector reviews every price before it is sent.
You choose what works
Your private link shows the amount we are offering for each card. Accept, counter, or decline card by card. Card prices move daily, so each offer stays open for 48 hours. If it expires, we can prepare a new one.
We arrange free insured shipping
Once at least one card is agreed, we ask for the details needed for shipping and payment. We provide a prepaid tracked DHL label. With correct packaging as described in our packing instructions, the shipment is insured for the full card value up to €25,000. Larger or high-value shipments may be split into several parcels, each with its own label. Do not send cards before receiving those instructions.
We inspect every card
We check every card when it arrives. If it matches the claimed condition and attributes, the agreed price stands. If it does not, we explain why and send a revised price; you can accept it, counter it, or ask for the card back.

Everything is resolved, then paid
Cards that are not purchased are returned with tracking at the legal buyer’s cost. Completed purchases are paid by bank transfer or PayPal within five business days after inspection and after every purchased or returned card is resolved.
