Selling Reassembling Skeleton (Foil) worth £1.73
| Where | Fees | You keep | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| eBay (private seller) | None | £1.73 | No selling fees for UK private sellers. The buyer pays the postage you set. |
| Locally (marketplace apps, card fairs, friends) | None | £1.73 | No fees and no postage. Meet somewhere public and count the money before handing cards over. |
| Vinted | None | £1.73 | No seller fees. Buyers pay a protection fee on top of your price, so you may need to price a little lower. |
| Cardmarket | £0.09 | £1.64 | 5% per card (max £100 a card). Most buyers are in the EU, so each sale needs a customs form. |
| A card shop (estimate) | — | £0.69–£1.04 | Quickest: one visit, paid straight away, and they'll take a whole pile. Shops resell at a profit, so cash offers are usually well under value (store credit is often more). Ask a few. |
Before you sell
- Price against sold listings, not asking prices. Our values come from the price guides; real sales can be higher or lower.
- Photos sell cards. Clear front and back shots in good light, out of the sleeve if you can, show the condition honestly.
- Post safely. Penny sleeve, top loader, card between card. Use tracked postage for anything valuable.
- Selling lots of cheap cards? One listing for a bundle, or a shop, saves time compared with listing each card.
- Tax: occasional sales from a personal collection are usually fine; regular selling for profit may count as trading. Check HMRC's guidance if you're unsure.
Fees checked October 2026 from each platform's own fee pages. Platforms change their fees, so check before you list. Postage isn't included: on the online platforms the buyer pays it.
