Trade-In / Trade Value FAQ

Trade-In Policy & Guidelines

Thank you for your interest in trading with buymycardsplz.com! We are always looking to expand our inventory with high-quality products. To ensure a smooth and efficient trade-in process, please review our requirements below before submitting your items.

📦 Sealed Products We Accept

We are currently only accepting factory-sealed, untampered English Pokémon TCG products. We do not accept Japanese, European, or other non-English language prints, nor do we accept sealed products from other TCGs at this time.

Our payout structure for sealed Pokémon products is highly competitive:

  • 100% of Market Value: Pokémon Center Exclusive Elite Trainer Boxes (ETBs) and standard Booster Boxes.

  • 95% of Market Value: All other sealed English Pokémon products (Regular ETBs, Collection Boxes, Tins, Blister Packs, etc.).

🃏 Single Cards We Accept

Currently, we are only accepting single cards from the Pokémon TCG that meet the following strict criteria:

  • Language: Must be English.

  • Condition: Must be in flawless Mint (M) condition. Cards with any visible whitening, creases, dents, surface scratches, or ink wear will be rejected.

  • Minimum Value: The card must have a current TCGplayer Market Value of $20.00 or more at the time of processing. We do not accept singles valued under $20.

🧮 How We Value Your Trade

To keep our pricing fair and transparent, all trade-in values are evaluated using real-time market data. We guarantee that our trade-in payout will never be lower than 90% of the current market value for any accepted item.

Product Type Trade-In Payout Rate
Pokémon Center ETBs & Booster Boxes 100% of current market value
All Other Sealed Pokémon Products 95% of current market value
Pokémon Singles ($20+ Value) 90% Minimum of TCGplayer Market Price

🚀 How to Submit a Trade-In Request

  1. Prepare Your List: Send us a clear list or photos of the sealed items or Pokémon singles ($20+) you wish to trade.

  2. Condition Assessment: For singles, please provide clear, close-up photos of the front and back of the cards out of their sleeves so we can verify the Mint condition.

  3. Get Your Quote: Our team will review your submission and reply with a conditional offer based on our guaranteed payout rates.

  4. Ship Your Items: Once approved, securely pack your items and ship them to us.

    • Packaging Singles: Every single card must be shipped in an individual penny sleeve and placed inside a top loader. Cards shipped without proper sleeve and top loader protection will not be processed.

⚠️ Mandatory Shipping Requirement: You must use a shipping service that includes tracking. Packages shipped without a valid tracking number will not be accepted or processed. We highly recommend adding insurance for higher-value shipments.

🛑 Disclaimer

All trade offers are conditional until we physically receive and inspect the items. If an item arrives damaged, non-English, lacks required tracking, or falls below Mint condition (for singles), it will be rejected. In the event of a rejection, the sender will be responsible for return shipping costs, which will not exceed $5.
