Fee Structure:
We cover the eBay and PayPal fees.*
Changes as of March 1, 2021: Because eBay fees are 12.35% for trading cards, we’ve changed our buyer’s premiums to a more flat rate structure both for simplicity and to protect our time. Our rates aren’t the lowest but when you work with us, you get some of the best service in the industry.
Our services include:
- High Resolution Scans (600dpi)
- SEO-rich titles and descriptions to help promote high performing page ranks
- Chronicled auction archives for future reference
- Robust market exposure through a variety of formats i.e., email, social, video, podcast, and blog
Our Mission is to provide excellent service, fast shipping, sound judgement, and a commitment to honesty and integrity.

ALL UNQUALIFIED ITEMS SENT TO US THAT DO NOT MEET OUR AUCTION VALUE MINIMUMS WILL BE TREATED AS DONATIONS AND WILL NOT BE RETURNED TO YOU. The qualification process is simple, just send us a message via our Contact Us page and attach images of what you want us to auction. We will respond with a yay or nay.
Authentication/Grading: As a seller, all authenticated/graded items are sold “as is.” These items are certified by third parties and we are not responsible for investigating or evaluating the authenticity or grade confirmed by any third party service.
Ownership: You are the legal owner of the items and have the right to sell them. If they are on any set registries, please remove them before sending them to us.
Honesty: You confirm that all statements regarding quantity, condition, authenticity, and associated information of submitted items are accurate to the best of your knowledge.
Re-Listing: While it’s rare, sometimes winning bidders fail to remit payment. Should this happen, we will run the associated action again in an effort to complete the transaction with a paying bidder. WE DO/WILL NOT RETURN ITEMS THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED TO US FOR AUCTION. We reserve the right to block non-paying bidders from future auctions.
Shill Bidding: You agree not to bid on, or arrange bidding on auctions that include your item(s) with the intent to drive up final sale price. Bidding on your own items to drive up final values is called “shill bidding,” which is highly unethical and goes against eBay policy. If we confirm you have, or have arranged others to shill bid your item(s), we reserve the right to terminate our business relationship.
INDEMNIFICATION: YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS RADICARDS, LLC, AND/OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATED ENTITIES, HARMLESS FROM ANY FINANCIAL LOSS, INCLUDING LEGAL FEES, ASSOCIATED WITH CONSIGNING WITH RADICARDS, LLC.

We reserve the right, at our own discretion, to update, change, or replace any part of our Terms at any time, for any reason, and without notice. It is your responsibility to check this page for changes. Your continued use of, or access to our website following the posting of any changes to this policy constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
Have you thought about being the only cosigner that lists, gets payment, and then forwards the shipping address to seller and then they ship out the cards as an option at least on lots, and boxes etc… it would save the cost of shipping some items to you then you have to ship them out, just a thought,
Hi Dan,
Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately, the drop shipping method for this particular selling format poses too much of a liability risk.
