TCGplayer Fees
When selling with TCGplayer, commission fees are applied to your transaction based on where the sale took place and which programs you are a part of. The commission and Pro fee total is capped at $50 per product sold. Example: An order that contains 2 $1000 cards would have a total commission and Pro fees of $100, $50 for each card.
Please refer to the table below for the different fee structures available.
Note: TCGplayer charges fees based on the subtotal (item amount + shipping cost). We do not charge fees on taxes for orders paid by debit card. However, credit cards and PayPal do include taxes when determining the fee, and this amount is used to cover the added processing costs for those payment methods (item amount + shipping cost + taxes).

Bankers Rounding
TCGplayer uses Bankers Rounding for calculating fees:
Bankers Rounding is an algorithm for rounding quantities to integers, in which numbers which are equidistant from the two nearest integers are rounded to the nearest even integer.
With standard rounding, you round up or down to the nearest number. For amounts that end in 5, you would round up. This tends to skew towards a higher amount. Bankers’ rounding is closer to the actual amount than with standard rounding.
