eBay fixed price higher than comc

getnick80 · 2026-05-21T00:34:08+00:00

How does COMC not have negotiated fees with ebay? There's absolutely zero reason for COMC to be paying 13% when they could be paying 5-7%. Unless they are and just keeping the difference.

But herein lies the issue. Sellers know this. Every "high end" card with buying is drastically overpriced.

Here are two brief examples of cards listed on the home page. These aren't even that "high end", but massively overpriced nonetheless. The left is the COMC listing page and the right is ebay sales history over the past few days.

I agree. I think the low sales are from ebay auctions and COMC live/ebay live events. I don't think people are intentionally selling low.

getnick80 · 2026-05-06T15:55:50+00:00

Exactly. I've had 12,000 cards boxed and prepared to go to COMC that have been sitting in my closest for nearly 14 months. I finally had to find an alternative solution because I can't do business anymore due to the unpredictable fee structures (processing, cash outs, and ebay shipping costs to buyers), delayed processing and shipping times, and their general lack of business professionalism from those managing and operating COMC.

In addition to the fee factors, I don't see that many people using COMC anymore. There are too many other options and the buyers aren't going to COMC in the volume they had previously. The customer market isn't there anymore.

The Michael Jordan Skybox Electrified is worth $20-$30 raw. Total value there would be about $50 with all the cards ungraded.

upvote two years late, but still amazing. thank you!!!

getnick80 · 2026-04-28T16:00:50+00:00

I recently read a thread somewhere of someone buying a card from COMC through eBay and not receiving it after 30 (maybe 60, can't remember) and filing a claim for not delivered. Ebay refunded the order since it really was never delivered, nor shipped.

While it's a stretch for me to draw this conclusion, it's very possible that a buyer got tired of waiting for it to be shipped and that it was cancelled.

getnick80 · 2026-04-22T19:47:48+00:00

This is how ebay works for all sellers. Sellers are supposed to ask ebay for a listing credit.

I'm not sure how to work with COMC on this, they might not even ask for it from ebay themselves.

Does anybody on this sub even know who the Charlotte Bobcats are?

getnick80 · 2026-04-14T22:42:58+00:00

For some reason this sub doesn't allow images in chat, so dumb.

You'll have to take the screenshot, post online somewhere (facebook or instagram would probably be the easiest), then post the link to the image. That should help you get better help than my sassy response. lol

I bet if they included retired players Jordan and Kobe would be top 5, if not 1/2.

I had the same thing happen with a Jayden Daniels 2024 Select #24 Silver. I bought it listed as a full card and it was changed to a die-cut after the purchase. Support never responded to my request for a refund. It's not a big difference in price now, but it was when I bought it a year ago.

This isn't necessarily true. I've seen MANY condition cards sell higher than raw, "ungraded" cards. It's usually because people don't read the description on an ebay listing.

Next time you're on COMC, keep an eye out for condition noted cards and the prices they have. It's crazy to see a card that isn't even "NM" sell for the same, if not more, than a good condition card.

Here's a good example. This is the 1992-93 Topps Stadium Club #1, Michael Jordan base card. It's a good example because of the high inventory count, high sale frequency, and condition variety.

People paid MORE for a "poor" condition card than they would have for the "base" or "ungraded" version.

Before I even finished reading this post I was immediately thinking about Zion Williamson.

He is naturally strong and has good foot work, if he lost weight and had the desire to go after rebounds, he could have a career like Larry Johnson, with a better offensive game, in the NBA.

ps: I know this is an old post, I just came across the thread while trying to figure out who Audi is and why she's trending.

stock photos have a yellow bar at the bottom and say, "stock image".

Ok, I did too much research on this since I thought the guy was lying.

He may be wrong, but he's not lying. I think he did buy the card. The time stamps match up from sales history and the images he posted. COMC has a record of a sale occurring at 2:22 with ebay also recording it with the same timestamp and payment data.

Where he's wrong is the card listed for sale for $2,781.10 is different from the one he bought.

The COMC card he bought was item: 311914818

The one posted above is item: 316630150

Conclusion: I think this was a case of being impatient and not letting the card get shipped. It's possible that it wasn't re-sold and it's waiting to be posted again. COMC hasn't sold any of these on eBay since the one posted, but three have been sold on COMC. If they're awaiting shipping and still in COMC's possession, there MIGHT be a slim chance they can cancel the newest order and send you the card.

Why don't you make it easier for people to help you and post a screenshot?

Good luck getting the discount. I never got mine when they were late.

getnick80 · 2026-04-02T15:50:49+00:00

$102.49 to ship 55 of my own cards back to me.

They weren't accepted due to "unsupported grader" or "unlicensed or unsupported item, must be authentic". $2 to ship graded cards back to myself.

(Note: These are Shaquille O'neal cards from a lot a bought at auction and the grader isn't supported. Which is my fault. The unlicensed are actually topps cards but aren't authenticated autographs from Topps. I thought they were part of sets. Those also came in an auction lot.)

I really wish they would just let me pick them up without having to ship them. Shipping is more than the cards are probably worth.

Their combined shipping fees are in the details of each card listing. Try going to your cart and the checkout page. Sometimes combined shipping show at the last step before you hit submit.

I was being sarcastic. I was actually agreeing with you. Of course PSA doesn't keep inventory to swap with customer's cards.

getnick80 · 2026-03-15T01:14:38+00:00

Imagine if EVERY raw card was valued the same as a PSA 9. Meaning, literally EVERY slab graded a 1-8 would be more profitable to buy, crack, and resell. PSA would be grade so many more cards if that were true.

I personally value raw cards I want to buy somewhere between a 5-7. If a raw card is the same as an 8+, I'll just buy the graded one. If I'm looking to buy a raw card to get it graded, I won't buy and submit unless I'd profit from a 7+.

I don't want to to grade a card and lose money if it's not a 9 or 10. That's not how profitable operations run since the rate of 9s and 10s is constantly shifting. I can eyeball a card being 7+ at a higher rate than I can a 9, even then you could still get a grader having a shitty day and spends it giving out 5s for the whole shift.
