Five things worth comparing
Before the fee, ask these five. They are the questions that decide whether a sale is a transaction or an argument, and they are the five AllCardzz was built around.
- Who holds the money while the card travels? The seller, the buyer, or the platform. This is the single biggest difference between marketplaces, and it is rarely on the fee page.
- Does anybody look at the card? Someone other than the two people with an interest in the answer.
- How does the card get there? Tracked, untracked, or hand to hand — and who is on the hook if it does not arrive.
- How is condition expressed? A free-text description, a photo, or a rung on a ladder that prices separately from the rung above it.
- Can a buyer tell you what they would pay? An asking price alone is half a market.
AllCardzz, point by point
Taking our own benchmark first, because a comparison that grades everybody else and exempts the author is not a comparison.
- The money. The buyer pays at checkout and AllCardzz holds it. The seller does not have it, and cannot have it, until the hand-over is done — the payout is a separate step that only fires after the card has changed hands. If the card never reaches the counter within the deadline, the order is cancelled and the buyer refunded.
- The check. Every sale passes a partner counter. The operator records the card against the order when it arrives, then checks it in person — pass or fail, per card, photographed on a fail — before the buyer collects it. A failure opens a case while the money is still held, so nobody is chasing a refund after the fact.
- The journey. The seller either brings the card to the counter or posts it there with a tracking number; there is no untracked option. The buyer collects in person, free, and states their order number and a collect code or shows photo ID at the desk. Every one of those steps is a timestamped entry on an order timeline both sides can read.
- Condition. Seven raw rungs, or a slab with its grader, grade and certificate number. Each printing and each condition is its own market with its own price history, so a Good copy is never averaged into a Near Mint one.
- Bids. Buyers post what they would pay, per printing, with a condition or grade floor. Asks and bids sit side by side on the card page and a seller can accept a bid below their own ask.

The usual alternatives
Five kinds of place people sell sports cards in Europe. Measured against the same five points, in the same order. What each of them charges is on their own fee page — see below.
A trading-card-game marketplace
The large European card marketplaces grew up around games with fixed sets, printed rarities and a rules update that moves prices. That structure is the product, and sports cards do not have it: no set list to model, no playability, and a price that follows a career. Money is typically routed between the two parties rather than held against a hand-over, and the card goes straight from seller to buyer — so the first person to inspect it is the person who has already paid. vs AllCardzz: we hold the money until the buyer has the card, and a counter looks at it first.
A general auction site
Vast reach, and reach is worth something. It is also a site where a card is one listing category among thousands, condition is whatever the description says, and buyer protection is a claims process that runs after the money and the card have both moved. vs AllCardzz: condition here is a rung with its own price history rather than a sentence, and a problem is raised before payout rather than clawed back after it.
A general resale app
Fast to list, an audience that is not looking for cards, and no card-specific structure at all — no printing, no condition ladder, no price history. Nobody inspects anything. vs AllCardzz: a card here is a specific printing in a specific condition, which is what makes a price mean something.
An auction house with experts
Real expertise and real curation, and for a genuinely rare card that is the right room to be in. It is also a slower, lot-based process aimed at the top of the market — not the way to move a stack of mid-value rookies. vs AllCardzz: different job. Send the trophy card to the auction house; the other forty are a marketplace problem.
A US-based platform
Deep liquidity for graded cards and, for a European seller, a customs form, a currency conversion and a card in the post for two weeks each way. vs AllCardzz: euros throughout, and a hand-over you can walk to.
About fees
This page deliberately quotes no other platform’s fees. We could not read them from the source on the day we published — several of those pages sit behind bot checks — and quoting a rival’s percentage from memory is how comparison pages end up wrong. Fee pages also change without notice, so a number transcribed here would be a promise about somebody else’s business that we cannot keep. Check each platform’s current fee page before you list. They are easy to find: search the platform name plus “fees”, and read it on their own site rather than on anybody’s summary of it, including this one.
Ours, in full: listing is free, and a sale costs the seller 0% at launch — no commission, and we cover the card-processing costs, so you receive exactly your sale price. The fee line stays on the order page at €0.00. It is an introductory launch rate: any future fee will be announced at least 30 days in advance and would apply only to sales made after the change. Buyers pay no platform fee, and collecting from the counter is free.
Where to sell what
A sports card, in Europe, that you want sold rather than listed: AllCardzz. It is the only one of these built around a sports card specifically, and the only one where the money waits for the card instead of the other way round.
A very rare card with a story: an auction house, where an expert and a catalogue are worth more than a marketplace’s liquidity.
Game singles by the hundred: the TCG marketplaces, which are extremely good at exactly that and were built for it.
Bulk you want gone: anywhere with reach — and accept that condition will be a sentence and nobody will check it.
Everything stated above about AllCardzz was checked against the running product on 19 August 2026. Statements about other platforms describe the kind of marketplace they are, not their current terms — those are on their own pages, and only they can tell you what they are today.
Questions sellers ask
Is AllCardzz an alternative to Cardmarket for sports cards?
That is what it was built to be. Cardmarket is a trading-card-game marketplace, and sports cards are a different shape of problem: no fixed sets, prices that follow a career rather than a rules update, and a condition that has to be argued from photographs. AllCardzz models each printing and each condition as its own market, holds the buyer's money until the card is in their hands, and puts a partner counter in the middle who looks at the card in person before anybody is paid.
Why does this page not list other platforms' fees?
Because we could not read them from the source on the day we published, and we will not quote a rival's fee from memory. Their own fee pages are the only honest answer to that question and they change without notice. Compare the mechanism here, then check each platform's current fee page yourself before you list.
Does someone actually look at the card?
On AllCardzz, yes — every sale is handed over at a partner counter, and the operator records a pass or fail against what the seller declared before the card reaches the buyer. A failed check opens a case while the money is still held. That is the part that has no equivalent on a general resale app, where the first person to inspect the card is the buyer, after the money has moved.
Can I sell a raw card, or does it have to be graded?
Raw is fine. You declare one of seven raw grades — Mint, Near Mint, Excellent, Good, Light Played, Played, Poor — or a slab with its company, grade and certificate number. Raw and graded never share a price series, so a Near Mint copy is not averaged against a PSA 10.
