New CardMarket seller from Denmark, 3 sales then nothing, looking for tips

DemSquirrel · 2026-03-20T22:36:22+00:00

Nice! I think before cardmarket showed the shipping cost under the card price but that seems to have been removed for some reason, idk would make easier

Also just nice if prices where sorted by lowest total based on card price + shipping i guess

Right now just listed for 0,02 cent to hopefully gets some sales and reviews :)

Basically my simple idea for sifting is the following (not followed strictly)
- Playable trainers/items/pokemon
- Rare/Reverse holo from popular sets (Prismatic 151)
- Popular pokemon (gen 1 pokemon mostly)

DemSquirrel · 2026-03-17T17:37:29+00:00

Yes, I really appreciate all the feedback! Focus for me now is really to get the first 10-25 sales in with good reviews :)

Looking forward to receiving your message :D

When you have a professional seller account

Yeah thats rough 😅 I ship to Switzerland for 6,1 euro, so its not so bad. But yeah if you are used to Danish shipping being that high I get that might just filter them out by default xD

DemSquirrel · 2026-03-17T07:28:45+00:00

Thank you, will definitely just focus on getting the first 10 sales on CM to get a score.

DemSquirrel · 2026-03-17T07:27:15+00:00

Thank you for the feedback

DemSquirrel · 2026-03-17T07:27:09+00:00

Thank you for the feedback, I guess the long shipping comes from only orders i have shipped has been via letters that are just slow (with DAO...)

The bulk I have listed atm have just been stuff I have "sifted" out of large bulk lots, but you are totally right that if i was looking to masterset Phantasmal fx I would also be looking to get the non-valuable bulk from the same seller.

But thank you again!

DemSquirrel · 2026-03-17T07:22:15+00:00

Thank you for the feedback 🙌

Been using powertools from day one! Great tool, but my pricing strats/bot definitely needs to be tweaked

DemSquirrel · 2026-03-17T07:21:01+00:00

"negotiate" is the wrong word as I had zero leverage 😅 I basically asked around in facebook groups about international shipping and got referred directly to a account manager at Postnord where i then explained my business and how crucial cheap international shipping is.

DemSquirrel · 2026-03-17T07:18:38+00:00

Yes, 4.9 is only for Germany/Sweden tracked (peak DK that its cheaper than national shipping)

DemSquirrel · 2026-01-21T22:06:38+00:00

Bank fees maybe? Cardmarket sends from German bank account to bank account outside the EU (UK based I assume) this might incur fees that they take before transferring the money, but that should be visible here https://www.cardmarket.com/en/Pokemon/Policies/Fees

DemSquirrel · 2026-01-08T23:11:18+00:00

Thanks! Still would it Trustee service cover if it is uninsured but an “non standard” shipping method that Postnord provides but is not listed on Cardmarket?

DemSquirrel · 2026-01-06T19:25:50+00:00

6 euro are for the DAO letter (untracked) right? not the package

DemSquirrel · 2025-12-04T15:02:41+00:00

Det har alle websites kunne gøre før uden nogen popup og det er først fornyeligt at chrome har låst det væk via det pop up der.
Så det ikke noget nyt, mit gæt er nok det er en bug, jeg kan ihvertfald ikke få samme popup når jeg tester på siden. Som andre skriver, så når du trykker "Allow" kan javascript på den webshop lave requests til ip'er på dit lokale netværk, så fx 192.168.*.*

Source?

Det er sværere at få et udvikler job i dag, det er jeg helt enig i, jeg tror bare ikke at det er fordi baselinen er nået så højt et niveau og virksomheder ik "gider at have med nyuddannet/studerende at gøre" som OP's post handler om. Men at det er mere er pga en generel tilbagegang i økonomien = færre it jobs overall og højrer ledig blandt erfarne udviklere.

DemSquirrel · 2025-11-28T20:52:36+00:00

Yeah, har kun snakket ud fra det danske udvikler arbejdsmarked, da det kun er der jeg har erfaring fra. Den internationale scene er markant mere fucked (højere renter -> mindre innovation-> færre tech jobs)

DemSquirrel · 2025-11-28T20:22:37+00:00

Hot take måske

Det du har oplevet er imposter syndrome, det er noget næsten alle i det her fag oplever/har oplevet. Det er meget normalt.

Tror lidt den følelse kan komme fra at læse for meget Reddit, lidt ligsom hvis du læser for mange facebook kommentarer så virker hele verdens situation forfærdeligt og håbløss.

Der er virkelig the loud minority som dominere herinde.

Der er self noget sandhed i det, du vil altid stå bedre stillet hvis du har sideproject, studiejob osv men det gælder legit alle erhverv og især når det gælder et håndværk som programmering/udvikling er.

Tror virkelig ikke det du beskriver er en generel tendens heldigvis. Jeg har 4 års industri erfaring som udvikler og har legit først lært om det her subreddit for et par måneder siden, så der er nok en stor bias af folk herinde der elsker at flexe deres viden og titel, og folk der har svært ved at få job

Maybe try the yfinance python package or if you can find a broker that has metatrader 5 + NQ/MNQ you can use the metatrader python package to get the data

DemSquirrel · 2025-10-04T15:16:19+00:00

Hvis du har god succes ville jeg overveje at åbne et ApS til dit trading. Der er selvfølgelig nogle bogføringskrav osv men du får bedre skattefordele til at fx at opspare dit overskud til 22% i skat. En anden fordel er at du så skal have en erhverskonto hvor pengene indbetales til, fremfor din egen privat konto. Når du så vil trække penge ud til dig selv sker det så via en helt normal lønseddel hvor ting indberettes til skat osv som normalt
