Four new free calculators

  • New TCGplayer fee calculator with the 10.75% commission (since February 10, 2026), the $75 cap, Pro and the Direct fee rebuilt on June 18, 2026.
  • New Whatnot tier calculator: your last four weeks of sales give next period’s commission rate and how much more you need for the next tier.
  • New Where should I list this? comparator: one item on eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, Depop, Whatnot, Etsy, Vinted, TikTok Shop and Facebook Marketplace, ranked by what you keep.

Fee table updated

  • PSA reopened its Value tier on 2026-10-29 at $39.99 per card (declared value up to $500, est. 90–100 business days), ending the pause that began 2026-06-02. Standard ($59.99) and Priority ($79.99) turnaround estimates were cut by 20 business days to 70–80 and 50–60; Express ($199) unchanged. Value Bulk remains paused. Source: news reports of PSA's 2026-10-28 announcement (medium confidence). Details on the Fee Ledger.

Fee table updated

  • Added TCGplayer (US). Read on TCGplayer's Fees help page (updated 2026-10-26): Marketplace Level 1–4 commission 10.75% (up from 10.25% on 2026-02-10), Pro 9.25% + 2.5% Pro fee, Direct 8.95%; commission and Pro fee each capped at $75 per product; transaction fee 2.5% + $0.30 on items + shipping + tax (Direct: 2.5% on items, no fixed fee). Direct fee rebuilt 2026-06-18: cards up to $2.49 pay 50% of value and no other fees; cards above $2.49 pay $1.12 per card plus standard fees. High confidence. Details on the Fee Ledger.

Fee table updated

  • Added Vinted US and TikTok Shop US for the where-to-sell comparator. Vinted: no seller fees; the buyer pays the Vinted fee (formerly Buyer Protection), usually 5% + $0.70 (medium confidence, from Vinted help pages via search snippets). TikTok Shop: 6% referral fee for most categories and 5% for pre-owned as widely reported; reports of a rise to 8% from 2026-08-04 are unconfirmed, so the rate is low confidence and editable. Details on the Fee Ledger.

Fee table updated

  • eBay Promoted Listings (general strategy) added to the fee table: ad rate of 2%–100% times the total sale amount including shipping and tax, charged only on sales within 30 days of an ad click (read on eBay's help page). Whatnot US tier thresholds re-read on the official fee page (updated 2026-10-29): Standard under $15,000, then $15k, $35k, $50k, $100k, $250k and $500k; rates unchanged. Details on the Fee Ledger.
