Yes! Please make sure the package includes your FULL NAME and EMAIL so we can identify the cards as yours.

What happens if an item sold for me gets returned?
If an item is returned to us the net amount will be deducted from what you are owed. We will then re-list the card to make another sale!
What happens to my unpaid items?
We allow eBay buyers 7 days for payment. After 7 days we will cancel the auction and re-list the item.
When will I get my payout?
We process payouts for all items sold and paid for once a month during the first week of the following month. For example, if your items sell and get paid for in January, you’ll receive your consignment report and payout in the first week of February.
What happens to my cards that do not sell?
Items that end with no bids will be kept in-house and ownership transferred to Rated Rips.
Can I place a bid on my own items once they are listed on eBay?
No. This is strictly prohibited.
Bidding on your own listings is considered shill bidding and is not allowed under any circumstances. Engaging in this behavior violates eBay policy and can lead to serious consequences for your account.
What are your listing fees?
Listing fees will apply as follows:
$1 – Single Cards, Memorabilia & Other Non-trading Card Items
$3 – Lots
Listing fees only apply to items that are SOLD, if an item goes UNSOLD a listing fee will NOT apply.
