Good to know

  • Pro and Sync sellers pay the lower 9.25% commission plus a 2.5% Pro fee.
  • The marketplace commission is capped at $75 per item, so very high-value cards pay a much lower effective rate.
  • Cards under $2.49 use a special 50%-of-value fee not modeled here.

Not included in the estimate

  • Buyer-paid sales tax (in TCGplayer's processing base, excluded here)
