One Piece TCG Marketplace Fees Compared: TCGplayer vs eBay vs Misprint
What you keep matters more than what you sell it for.
By Misprint Editorial | Published Aug 17, 2026 | 5 min read
Two sellers list the same One Piece card for $200. One nets $180, the other nets $173. The difference is not the buyer. It is the fees, and it is entirely avoidable.
When you sell a card, the sticker price is not what lands in your pocket. Commission, per-transaction fees, payment processing, and shipping all come out first. This article lays out exactly what each major platform charges to sell One Piece cards in 2026, with real dollar examples, so you can see what you actually keep.
We run one of these platforms, so treat our conclusions with appropriate skepticism. We will show you the math and tell you where the other platforms beat us.
Seller Fees Head-to-Head
| Fee Category | Misprint | TCGplayer (Standard) | TCGplayer (Pro) | eBay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seller commission | 7% | 10.75% | 9.25% | 13.25% |
| Commission cap | None | $75/item | $75/item | 2.35% above $7,500 |
| Payment processing | 3% | 2.5% | 2.5% | Included |
| Per-order fee | $0.30 | $0.30 | $0.30 | $0.40 (over $10) |
| Listing fees | $0 | $0 | $0 | $0 (first 250/month) |
| Promoted listing fee | N/A | N/A | N/A | 2-15% (optional) |
| Subscription | $0 | $0 | Pro (qualification) | $0-$300/mo (stores) |
A few things worth calling out, because they are easy to miss. TCGplayer raised its commission from 10.25% to 10.75% on February 10, 2026 (and its per-item commission cap from $50 to $75), and separately charges a 2.5% payment processing fee plus $0.30 per order on top of that commission. So TCGplayer's true all-in cost for a standard seller is closer to 13% on small cards, not the 10.75% headline. The Pro rate of 9.25% requires a TCGplayer Pro subscription. eBay's 13.25% is its final value fee for the Trading Cards category specifically (some fee calculators wrongly apply eBay's higher 13.6% general rate to cards), and it applies to the item price plus any shipping you charge.
What You Actually Keep
Here is the part that matters. Net proceeds on a sale, all fees included — commission, payment processing, and the per-order fee (shipping handled separately below):
On a $100 card:
| Platform | Fees Deducted | You Keep |
|---|---|---|
| Misprint | $10.30 | $89.70 |
| TCGplayer (Pro) | $12.05 | $87.95 |
| TCGplayer (Standard) | $13.55 | $86.45 |
| eBay | $13.65 | $86.35 |
On a $500 card:
| Platform | Fees Deducted | You Keep |
|---|---|---|
| Misprint | $50.30 | $449.70 |
| TCGplayer (Pro) | $59.05 | $440.95 |
| TCGplayer (Standard) | $66.55 | $433.45 |
| eBay | $66.65 | $433.35 |
On a $1,000 card:
| Platform | Fees Deducted | You Keep |
|---|---|---|
| Misprint | $100.30 | $899.70 |
| TCGplayer (Pro) | $100.30 | $899.70 |
| TCGplayer (Standard) | $100.30 | $899.70 |
| eBay | $132.90 | $867.10 |
Two patterns stand out. First, once you include TCGplayer's 2.5% processing fee, a standard TCGplayer seller pays almost exactly what an eBay seller pays on small and mid-value cards, roughly 13% all-in, not the 10.75% headline. Second, TCGplayer's $75 commission cap kicks in above about $700, which is why its Pro and Standard rows converge at $1,000. Misprint's all-in rate — 7% commission plus 3% payment processing and $0.30 per order, about 10% total — keeps the most up to around $1,000: roughly $9 more than TCGplayer Pro and $16 more than eBay on a $500 card. At $1,000 the commission cap catches up and Misprint ties TCGplayer to the dollar ($899.70 each), while still beating eBay by about $33. Above $1,000, that cap tips the advantage to TCGplayer on fees alone.
Shipping Costs
Fees are only half the equation. Shipping is the other half, and the platforms handle it very differently.
| Shipping Detail | Misprint | TCGplayer | eBay |
|---|---|---|---|
| Model | Buyer pays flat rate | Seller ships, costs vary | Seller sets terms |
| Raw card | $2.50 base per order | PWE ~$0.75, tracked ~$4 | Varies by listing |
| Graded card | $2.50 base + $2.50/slab | Tracked ~$4-6 | Varies by listing |
| Sealed product | $2.50 base + $2.50/item | Tracked ~$5-8 | Varies by listing |
For a single raw card, TCGplayer's plain-white-envelope option is the cheapest way to ship, but it comes with no tracking, which we would never recommend for anything valuable. For graded One Piece cards, Misprint's flat structure ($5.00 total for one slab) is predictable and competitive with tracked shipping elsewhere.
The Hidden Costs People Forget
Commission is just the headline number. Watch for these:
- The per-transaction fee stings on cheap cards. That $0.30 is nothing on a $200 alt-art, but on a $3 common it is effectively another 10% on top of commission. Every platform here charges it, Misprint included, so it adds up fast if you sell lots of cheap singles.
- eBay's promoted listings. Optional, but in a crowded category many sellers feel pressured to pay 2 to 15% extra for visibility, which quietly raises the real fee.
- Payment processing on peer-to-peer sales. "Fee-free" selling on Facebook or Discord is not actually free once you account for PayPal Goods and Services fees and the lower prices peer buyers expect.
- Your time. TCGplayer's catalog listing is fast; photographing and listing individually on eBay is slow. Time is a cost too.
Which Platform Wins?
Lowest fees up to ~$1,000: Misprint. At about 10% all-in — 7% commission plus 3% processing and $0.30 per order — Misprint keeps the most on cards up to roughly $1,000. Because TCGplayer caps its commission at $75 per item, the two tie around $1,000 and TCGplayer edges ahead above that, so Misprint's advantage is strongest on mid-value graded and high-value One Piece singles below that line.
Best for high-volume raw singles: TCGplayer. If you qualify for the 9.25% Pro rate and you are moving lots of cards, TCGplayer's efficiency and catalog system can make it the better overall value, and its $75 commission cap helps on expensive cards.
Best for unique or hyped cards: eBay. The fees are the highest, but the auction format can push a hot One Piece card above market when bidding gets competitive, which can more than offset the fee difference.

Our Take
On fees alone, Misprint is the cheapest place to sell One Piece cards up to about $1,000; around that point TCGplayer's $75 commission cap catches up and pulls ahead on more expensive cards. But fees are not the only thing that matters. TCGplayer wins on efficiency for high-volume raw selling, and eBay's auctions can occasionally beat everyone on a genuinely rare card. Know your card, run the actual net-proceeds math, and pick accordingly.
