eBay Introduces New TCG Mobile App Scanner That Cuts Listing Time in Half
Coming to ‘Magic: The Gathering,’ ‘Pokémon’ and ‘Yu-Gi-Oh!’ TCG.
On top of lowering prices per card sale to U.S. sellers with 1$ USD shipping, eBay has once again introduced a new system to make TCG sales more convenient.
With the continued surge in trading cards on eBay, with stats like 125 trading card listed/98 cards sold per minute, eBay is looking to up its numbers while cutting listing times in half. This new function is part of the eBay mobile app and lets users scan their trading cards where they will be processed on a listing directly.
This tool will be available to all Magic: The Gathering cards first with both Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG coming in May. Sports cards along with other collectible cards will come at a later date.
