Consignment FAQ

It is recommended to send all cards in sleeves and top loaders. We suggest packing in team bags if possible. Use a box or secure padded envelope. Sleeve and top-load all cards prior to shipping to ensure they are properly protected.

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

• All modern (Post 1980) trading cards with an estimated value of $5.00+.
• Anything with an estimated value of $5.00+ will be listed for auction on eBay with a starting bid of $1.99.
• If a listed card sells for a final price under $5.00, a 55% payout rate will apply.
• Both raw and graded cards are acceptable.
• Should you have any other items you are looking to consign, please reach out to us!

Should we receive cards that do NOT meet our criteria (i.e. under $5.00), they will NOT be posted and kept in-house with ownership transferred to Rated Rips.

• All cards are listed as 7-day auctions beginning at $1.99 and are sold exclusively through our eBay storefront, leveraging one of the largest and most competitive marketplaces in the hobby to drive strong bidding activity.
• All auctions are scheduled to end nightly between 7:00PM – 11:00PM EST.
• If you would like to consign a card using a Buy It Now (BIN) format, please contact us prior to mailing your submission. A minimum estimated value of $1,000 or greater is required for BIN consideration. We offer two BIN options for approved items:
  • Standard BIN Option – $5.00 per card – The consignor provides the desired listing price and specifies the minimum offer amount to be considered.
  • Premium BIN Option – $25.00 per card – Rated Rips conducts market analysis and determines the optimal listing price and minimum offer threshold based on current comps and market trends.

Listing fees will apply as follows:

• $1.00 – Single Cards, Memorabilia & Other Non-trading Card Items
• $3.00 – Lots – If you would like items sold as a lot, please group them together prior to shipping and clearly indicate that you want them listed as a lot.
• Listing fees only apply to items that are SOLD. If an item goes UNSOLD, a listing fee will NOT apply.

The express service level is an optional expedited processing option that moves your cards through our workflow ahead of standard submissions. Items sold under the express service level include a $3.00 per-card fee, applied in addition to our standard listing fees. Express service is completely optional and may be selected for individual cards within a submission. If you’d like certain cards processed through express service, please separate them from standard submission items and notify us prior to mailing your submission.

Turnaround begins the first business day following the date of receipt. For example, if your package is received on Monday, the 2–3 business day window begins on Tuesday. Business days are defined as Monday through Friday, excluding major holidays.

NO PAYOUT FEES CURRENTLY APPLY!

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.

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!

We allow eBay buyers 7 days for payment. After 7 days we will cancel the auction and re-list the item.

Items that end with no bids will be kept in-house and ownership transferred to Rated Rips.
