TCGplayer Seller Fees FAQ

How much does TCGplayer take from a sale?

Marketplace sellers (Level 1–4) pay a 10.75% commission plus a transaction fee of 2.5% + $0.30 on the full order total. In practice TCGplayer takes roughly 13% to 14% of a typical order once both fees are counted, which is what this calculator estimates for you. To see whether the same card would net more elsewhere, try the TCGplayer vs eBay payout comparison.

What are TCGplayer's seller fees in 2026?

As of 2026, Marketplace sellers pay 10.75% commission, and Pro and Sync sellers pay 9.25% plus their additional Pro or sync provider fees. All seller types also pay a 2.5% + $0.30 transaction fee per order, and commission is capped at $75 per item.

What is TCGplayer's $75 fee cap?

Commission on any single item is capped at $75, which kicks in for items priced above roughly $697.67 for Level 1–4 sellers. The cap applies per item, not per order, so two high-value cards in one order each incur up to $75.

How much does TCGplayer Pro cost in fees?

Pro (Non-Direct) sellers pay a reduced 9.25% commission but add a 2.5% Pro fee on the order total, for 11.75% combined before the transaction fee. Whether Pro beats the standard 10.75% rate depends on your volume and the other Pro benefits. If you also sell on live streams, the Whatnot fee calculator covers Whatnot's tiered commission rates.

Does TCGplayer charge fees on shipping and sales tax?

Yes. Commission applies to your item price plus shipping, and the 2.5% + $0.30 transaction fee applies to the full order total including any sales tax TCGplayer collects. That is why this calculator shows a fee range instead of a single number.
