Zero Percent Marketplace Fees: Why Pro Sellers Keep Everything
If you sell trading cards on existing platforms, you’re probably used to losing a chunk of every sale to fees. Whatnot takes 11-12%. TCGPlayer charges 10-15% depending on your seller level. eBay plus PayPal can eat 13% or more.
That’s money that should stay in your pocket.
The CardDeckr Difference
CardDeckr Pro members pay 0% marketplace fees on every sale. Zero. You list a card for $100, you get $100 (minus standard payment processing, which we can’t avoid).
Free users pay a competitive 8-10% fee, which is still below most alternatives. But Pro members? They keep everything.
How the Math Works
Let’s compare a $500 card sale across platforms:
| Platform | Fee | You Keep |
|---|---|---|
| Whatnot | 12% ($60) | $440 |
| TCGPlayer | 11% ($55) | $445 |
| eBay + PayPal | 13% ($65) | $435 |
| CardDeckr Free | 8% ($40) | $460 |
| CardDeckr Pro | 0% ($0) | $500 |
At $24.99/month for Pro, you break even after selling just one $300+ card. High-volume sellers save thousands per year.
