Frequently Asked Questions

In our capacity as eBay Certified Application Providers, our systems engage in regular communication with eBay at 15-minute intervals. Upon the conclusion of an auction, results are usually integrated into our system within minutes. Notably, outcomes from major auction houses are typically accessible within 24 hours following the conclusion of the auction. It's important to highlight that the final price displayed encompasses the auction consignment fee. Regarding Buy it Now (BIN) and Best Offer (BO) listings, these are published on our platform after the expiration of the original time stamp set by the seller on eBay. In the event that an item is sold on the first day of a 7-day listing, its posting will occur only after the entire duration of the listing has elapsed.

Continuing our expansion efforts, we broadened our dataset in 2010 to include cards from the 1990s and 2000s, while also incorporating various other trading card categories such as Golf, Soccer, TCG, MMA, and Sci-Fi. Further enhancing our coverage, in 2020, we extended our reach to include cards from the 2010s and 2020s, consistently striving to maintain up-to-date information across the majority of sets.
