What if a Card Ladder market value estimate is wrong?
Generally, we rely on Card Ladder data, including more than 100,000,000 sales dating back to 2000, to establish market value estimates upon which Great Price eligibility is determined. However, if you can provide strong data to contest a provided Card Ladder market value estimate, we will investigate its accuracy.
What is the seller’s fee if I list a card above the Great Price threshold but accept an offer that falls within the Great Price threshold?
The seller’s fee is based on the purchase price of the card. So if you accept an offer that is less than 120% of the provided Card Ladder market value estimate, thus qualifying for Great Price status, you will only be charged a 6% seller’s fee. This percentage will be automatically calculated based on the sale price of your card, not your original listing price.
