The short version of everything: how BuyBaseCards works. The guarantees: buyer protection. Everything else is below.
No — every listing, seller shop, and set checklist is public. You need an account (email or Google) only when you add to cart, buy, make an offer, or save a watchlist.
Your cart groups by seller. Each seller-order is one payment, one combined shipping charge, and one envelope. Orders have a $5.00 per-seller minimum and a flat $0.99 order fee. Payment is handled by Stripe — your card number never touches our servers.
Payment processors charge fixed per-transaction costs, so tiny orders lose money for everyone. Add another card from the same seller to reach the $5.00 minimum — shipping is combined, so it's usually cheaper per card anyway.
Listings marked "or best offer" accept offers below the asking price (minimum $5.00, our order minimum). You can have one open offer per listing. The seller can accept, decline, or counter, and offers expire after 48 hours. Manage everything under Dashboard → Offers.
You'll see the counter in Dashboard → Offers. Accept it to go straight to checkout at the countered price, or let it expire.
Each seller sets a base rate that covers the envelope plus a small per-card increment for each extra card. Buy five cards from one seller and you pay one combined charge — not five.
When the seller ships, you get an email and the tracking number appears on the order in Dashboard → Purchases as a clickable carrier link. When the cards arrive, hit “I received it” and leave a review.
Create an account, then head to Sell and connect a payout account through Stripe (legal name, DOB, and bank details — Stripe verifies your identity; we never see those details). Once payouts are enabled you can list immediately.
Three: the listing wizard for one card at a time (up to 8 photos, graded slabs supported), set-checklist mass listing where you tick the cards you own and price them in bulk (no photos needed — stock images cover you), and spreadsheet import for up to 200 rows at once.
Open the listing from Dashboard → My listings → Edit. You can add and delete photos, pick which one is the cover, rotate, and crop.
Payouts land in your bank account every Friday via Stripe. You keep 93.5% of every sale, and a $2.00/month account fee is deducted from your first sale each calendar month — months with no sales are free.
Buyers: a flat $0.99 order fee per seller-order, with a $5.00 order minimum. Shipping goes to the seller, not us.
Sellers: a flat 6.5% commission on the item price (never on shipping) and $2.00/month taken from the first sale of each month. No listing fees, no store fees, free spreadsheet import.
Hit “Report a problem” on the order in Dashboard → Purchases within 3 days of receiving the cards — or, if they never arrive, anytime within 60 days of purchase. The seller is notified immediately and can reship, credit, or refund in one click. If it isn't resolved in 4 days, escalate to us and a human reviews it — if you're right, you get a full refund including shipping and the order fee. Read the full policy.
After an order ships, the buyer can leave a 1–5 star rating with a comment. Reviews show on the seller's public shop with their average rating, and sellers can post one public response per review.
Use forgot password and we'll email you a reset link. If you signed up with Google, just keep using the Google button.
Every seller does: /shop/your-username shows your active cards with shareable category filters, your reviews, and any collections you've curated (named groups of listings, managed under Dashboard → Collections).
Still stuck? Report order problems from the order itself in Dashboard → Purchases — that opens a message thread with the seller that we can step into.
