Best platform to sell Pokemon graded card
Direct answer: eBay is the first platform to test for Pokemon graded card. In the $180.00 example, eBay leaves $148.75 before item cost after modeled fees, Collectibles & Trading Cards category input, and shipping label cost. Compare the next-ranked marketplaces if their buyer audience can lift the sale price enough to beat the fee gap, and rerun the calculator with your actual item cost, shipping setup, and offer floor before listing.
The worked example uses a $180.00 sale price and $7.00 seller shipping cost. Use it as a starting point, then rerun the calculators with real comps, condition, item cost, and shipping details.
