How To Sell Bulk In 2026
Bulk selling has changed. In this guide, we break down how sellers can move bulk and singles in 2026 using a clear, stress-free process built around transparency, choice, and efficiency for the TCG community.
Show us a collector who hasn’t struggled with selling bulk, and we’ll show you an exception.
Counting cards, reaching out to multiple buyers, negotiating prices, waiting for replies - bulk selling has traditionally been more complicated than it needs to be.
In 2026, it doesn’t have to work that way.
This guide explains a clear, stress-free way to sell bulk today, built around transparency and simplicity.
Step 1: Count Your Bulk
The process starts the same way it always has which is by counting cards.
The difference in 2026 is clarity.
Sellers work with published buyer rates, clearly broken down by rarities.
Commons, uncommons, rares, holos - everything is visible upfront.
No guessing. No negotiations.
Step 2: Choose the Buyer That Fits You
Say goodbye to guessing prices or being locked into the same buyer out of habit.
On TCG Bulk, buyers publish their rates publicly. This means sellers can see pricing upfront and make an informed choice before creating a submission.
Instead of sending messages or waiting for quotes, sellers can:
- Compare buyer rates instantly
- See submission rules clearly
- Choose the buyer that fits them best
Whether that’s better pricing, a closer location, or specific submission preferences, the choice is always in the seller’s hands.
No uncertainty.
Just a clear, straightforward decision.
Once a buyer is selected, the submission is created instantly.
Step 3: Safely Pack Your Cards
Before shipping or dropping off your submission, make sure the cards are packed in a way that prevents damage during transport.
- Secure cards so they cannot move or bend inside the package
- Use sleeves or team bags where appropriate, especially for singles
- Separate and label different categories if required by the buyer
- Place everything in a sturdy box or padded package
Taking a few extra minutes to pack cards properly helps ensure the submission arrives safely and allows the buyer to review everything without issues.
Step 4: Ship or Drop Off Locally
After submitting, sellers choose how to complete the submission:
- Shipping the cards to the buyer
- Or local drop-off, if the buyer is a physical store offering that option
When shipping, sellers simply add the tracking number to the submission. Once entered, the shipment is automatically picked up by our system and tracked through the process.
Local drop-off allows sellers to bring cards directly to the store. That means no shipping, no packaging, no tracking numbers.
Step 5: Submission Review and Payout
Once the buyer receives the parcel or accepts the local drop-off, they review the submission to ensure everything matches what was submitted.
This includes:
- Verifying quantities
- Checking the conditions
- Making adjustments if there are any cards missing or damaged
After the review is completed, the buyer marks the submission as completed on the platform.
At that point, the funds are credited to the seller’s balance.
The balance can then be automatically withdrawn to PayPal, making the payout process fast and straightforward.
That’s It. Done.
Selling bulk in 2026 doesn’t need extra steps, negotiations, or uncertainty.
Count your cards, choose the buyer that fits you best, submit, and get paid.
That’s it.
