eBay Cuts Listing Time in Half for Trading Card Sellers with New Feature Coming April 2021SAN JOSE, Calif., March 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- eBay, one of the world's top destinations for buying and selling trading cards among passionate collectors, flippers and investors, is introducing a new feature that will make listing collectible card games easier than ever before. Beginning late April, sellers will be able to scan their trading cards using eBay's mobile apps for iOS and Android to create a listing in half the time. The new selling tool will support Magic the Gathering cards at launch and expand to Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! in May, followed by sports trading cards and other collectible card games later this year. "Among our 185 million shoppers around the world we've seen unparalleled demand for trading cards over the past year, with four million more sold than the year prior," said Nicole Colombo, Head of Trading Cards and Collectibles at eBay. "We're actively listening to our growing community to invest in new enhancements, including leveraging computer vision technology and building a robust trading card catalog. Our new listing feature will not only create a faster and more convenient experience for our sellers, but will also provide more robust trading card inventory for shoppers – all while ensuring that the information in card listings is more accurate." How it Works
Improving Returns: Trading card sellers are no longer required to offer returns in order to qualify for Top Rated Plus, which gives sellers a 10 percent discount, badging and additional eBay protections. Low-Cost Shipping: Securely ship raw trading cards priced at $20 and under using eBay Standard Envelope for less than $1, with tracking included. Protecting Buyers & Sellers: Also coming soon, eBay is reviewing its buyer protection policy for trading cards to ensure it protects both buyers and sellers in a category with high market volatility.
