Sports cards and trading cards move on condition, grading, and scarcity — details a generic marketplace listing flattens. Platform Direct builds owned stores for sports card and trading card sellers with proper support for graded singles, condition, and set organisation, migrated off eBay on a fixed price and handed over fully owned, so you stop losing a slice of every sale.

Sports Card & Trading Card Sellers: Own Your Store
Card sellers hand eBay a cut of every flip. An owned store built around grading, condition, and singles lets you keep it, and keep the collector relationship.

Built for graded singles and condition
We build listing structures that treat grade, grading company, condition, and set as first-class details, so collectors filter to exactly what they want instead of scrolling a generic feed. Single-card and lot listings both work the way card buyers expect.
The fee math for card flippers
eBay's final-value fees plus payment processing take a real bite out of each card, and on higher-value singles that adds up fast. On your own store you pay processing only — the rest of the spread stays with you on every flip.
Own the collector relationship
On eBay the buyer is eBay's. On your store, every collector who buys is yours to email about new pickups, breaks, and drops. That repeat relationship is where card businesses actually compound.
Yours at handover
The store and credentials are handed over at launch with no retainer or lock-in. You own the catalog, the collector list, and the margin.
Questions sellers ask
- Can the store handle one-of-one single-card listings?
- Yes. We build it around singles with grade and condition as core attributes, plus lots and breaks if you run them, so each card lists the way collectors search.
- Can I run breaks or auctions?
- We can build or integrate auction and break workflows depending on how you sell. Tell us your format in discovery and we scope it into the fixed price.
