Safety Tips & Best Practices

Stay safe and protect yourself during transactions with these essential tips for buyers and sellers

For Sellers

Photograph Before Shipping

Take detailed photos of the card from all angles, including any flaws. Also photograph the card in its protective sleeve and packaging before sealing.

Use Proper Packaging

Place cards in penny sleeves, then top loaders or card savers. Use rigid mailers or padded envelopes with "Do Not Bend" markings.

Always Use Tracking

Ship with tracking for all transactions. For high-value cards ($100+), add signature confirmation and insurance.

Video the Packing Process

Record yourself packaging the card and sealing the envelope. This protects you if a buyer claims the item was damaged or different.

Keep All Documentation

Save payment receipts, shipping receipts, tracking numbers, and all communication with the buyer in case of disputes.

Verify Payment First

Confirm payment has cleared before shipping. For PayPal, make sure it's not a pending or eCheck payment that can be reversed.

For Buyers

Record Unboxing Videos

ALWAYS record yourself opening the package from the moment you receive it. This is your proof if anything is missing, damaged, or not as described.

Check Seller Ratings

Review the seller's history, feedback, and number of successful transactions. Be cautious with new sellers or those with negative reviews.

Use Secure Payment Methods

Use PayPal Goods & Services or other methods with buyer protection. Never pay with Friends & Family, cash apps without protection, or cryptocurrency.

Inspect Immediately

Check the card's condition as soon as you receive it. Compare it to the listing photos and description. Report any issues within 48 hours.

Document Everything

Save all messages, listing screenshots, payment confirmations, and photos. This documentation is crucial if you need to file a dispute.

Communicate Through Platform

Keep all communication on TCGrader or through the payment platform. This creates a paper trail for protection.

Red Flags to Watch For

  • • Seller or buyer asking to complete transaction off-platform
  • • Requests for payment through untraceable methods (gift cards, wire transfers, crypto)
  • • Prices significantly below market value (too good to be true)
  • • Pressure to complete transaction quickly without proper verification
  • • Refusal to provide additional photos or information about the card
  • • New accounts with no transaction history selling high-value cards

Seller FAQs

How do I get paid when my card sells?

TCGrader connects buyers and sellers, but payment is arranged directly between you and the buyer. We recommend using secure payment methods like PayPal for buyer and seller protection. Once you've agreed on payment and the buyer has paid, ship the card and provide tracking information.

Do I need to grade my cards before selling?

No, but we highly recommend it! Our AI grading takes only 30 seconds and increases buyer confidence. Cards with verified grades sell 3x faster and typically command 20-30% higher prices. Use your subscription credits or purchase credits to grade cards.

What types of cards can I sell?

You can sell all types of trading cards including Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, sports cards (baseball, basketball, football, soccer), One Piece TCG, Disney Lorcana, and more. Both modern and vintage cards are welcome.

How do shipping and packaging work?

You're responsible for shipping the card to the buyer. We provide shipping label templates and packaging guidelines. We recommend tracking and insurance for high-value cards. Shipping costs can be included in your listing price or charged separately to the buyer.

Can I cancel a listing after it's posted?

Yes, you can edit or remove listings at any time before they sell. However, once a buyer purchases your card, you're committed to completing the sale. Canceling confirmed sales may impact your seller rating.

What if there's an issue with a transaction?

While TCGrader doesn't handle payment processing directly, our support team can help mediate disputes and provide guidance. We recommend using payment methods with buyer/seller protection (like PayPal), keeping detailed records, and communicating clearly throughout the transaction. Always provide accurate descriptions, clear photos, and ship with tracking.
