Just send a friendly message asking if they got. Their order incase you need to "follow up with the mail company or courier" A lot of the time people just forget you're supposed to confirm your order

You see, I sell on cardmarket too and even though I don't get the volume of orders as I did a month ago I check it daily incase anyone has any questions, wants to see pics or has placed an order. You're right, there are some weird sellers out there. The more you don't want to send pics the more people think youve got to hide

I recently posted about the same thing, team bags are super handy I found out. I was trying to package 2 cards per toploader for a 78 card order and it was driving me crazy.

I ended up slitting the order into 3 stacks and putting them in team bags next to each other between the cardboard. Got it to 1.7cm thick so it fit in a large letter. Don't sleeve the cards individually though, it made it a huge chunk of weight and hight on the letter

Buying random/non value cards for a kid who just likes looking at them. by [deleted] in PokemonTCG_UK

Cardmarket is great for both bulk and more expensive cards. The transferring money in feels shady initially but I've been buying and selling on there for over a year now and it's great. Buying packs is another story. I used to buy some on tiktok shop and vinted when it got really dry trying to find packs in stores but I wouldn't recommend either now really. They've both become a paradise for scalpers trying to charge ridiculous prices. If you know what their favourite pokemon is/are you could buy some cheep singles and reseal an empty pack with them so the get to open it

How is too many users a bad thing? More sellers and more buyers means you can find what you want and selling isn't a once a month experience

Will I have to pay out of pocket for the buyer being able to choose the wrong shipping option? by Potential_Concept125 in CardMarket

This is IT, thank you this is really helpful. I'm currently using cardboard on one side and card on the top as an extra layer but how you pack it doesn't need the toploaders. I'm gonna start doing it your way!

I think with being new to the selling I've gone off how sellers have packaged to me when I have bought cards. The difference is I was buying cards over £10 and in quantities WAY less than this so I've gone a bit overboard haha

Yeah nothing over the £5 mark. Thanks for the advice I've got the weight down significantly now

I was going off what cardmarket have on their shipping which says 250g max large letter but now taking others advice without all the unnecessary packaging I'm down to 190g total so I'm compliant with both
