This process allows sellers to choose when their auctions go live, providing greater flexibility and control over their sales strategy.

As of June 2024, the vault housed over 300,000 items valued at more than $300 million.

- 7% fee for cards selling over $5,000
- 16% fee for cards selling under $100

This flexibility allows collectors to store and sell a wider range of graded cards through the platform.

Collectible of the Week
Iphones With TikTok Listed For Over $10K
Today’s collectible of the week comes in wake of the TikTok ban. eBay users have begun listing their iPhones with TikTok still installed for over $10,000.
Although TikTok service has been restored in the U.S. the app is still currently restricted from further downloads in the App Store, leading some to believe that having it installed could indicate a value increase for their device.
