How Do Listings With Photos Work?
Q: What fees are charged for Listings with Photos?
A: Fees will be charged the same as any normal listings. However, we added a $50 commission cap, so you can make more money on high-value items.
Q: What photo sizes and formats are required for Listings with Photos?
A: Photos should be .jpg format (and variants of this extension). They should be no smaller than 750px wide and no larger than 15mb. Photos with inappropriate images are not allowed.
Q: Why are the Lowest Listing and Market Price fields empty when I add a photo to my listing?
A: Since Listings with Photos are unique items with unique pricing, the Lowest Listing and Market Price columns will be left unpopulated to avoid skewing the data for more traditional listings for these items.
Q: Do Listings with Photos impact my Seller Level threshold?
A: Yes. Listings with Photos will be included in both the calculation for your total inventory dollar amount and your total inventory product count. You can view your Inventory Total in the Inventory tab, Manage Product section, and Home tab.
Q: What reporting functionality is available for Listings with Photos?
A: Listings with Photos are currently included in any existing reporting where products are displayed. Whether or not a listing has a photo will be indicated in the title/description. No new reports are currently being generated.
Q: What user role permissions are needed to add/edit Listings with Photos?
A: Users who currently have permission to add/edit inventory and change prices will also have the ability to add/edit Listings with Photos.
Q: Can I add photos to listings on my TCGplayer Pro website?
A: Yes, as of 1/6/22 Listings with Photos can now be sold on your Pro Website 2.0.
Q: Can I add photos to listings on my In-Store Kiosk?
A: Not currently. For the time being, you can only add photos to listings on the TCGplayer Marketplace and Pro Website 2.0.
Q: May I sell proxies as Listings with Photos?
A: No. All Listings with Photos need to be (or have originally been) the official, manufactured item you're listing. For example, if you're adding a photo for "Tarmogoyf" it can be a signed Tarmogoyf, a graded Tarmogoyf, or even an altered Tarmogoyf. You can even make origami out of a Tarmogoyf and sell that. But you can't list a piece of paper with "Tarmogoyf" written on it. The card has to have been a real, manufactured Tarmogoyf at some point.
Q: May I list card lots?
A: Yes! Just make sure to select "Bulk Lots" as the product line (rather than Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh!, etc.) To learn more about selling Bulk Lots, check out our announcement.
Q: May I list non-English cards?
A:With the exception of Japanese Pokemon cards (which are under the Pokemon Japan product line) and Magic the Gathering cards that have language options available, listings with photos should be utilized to list all other non-English cards. The card language must be clearly communicated in the listing title and description using the full name of the language (examples: Japanese instead of JPN, Italian instead of ITA, etc).
Japanese Pokemon cards that are available to list in our catalog must be listed under the associated Pokemon Japan entry. Please review our Listing Japanese Pokemon Products FAQ for details about how to list these products. If you are listing Japanese Pokemon cards that do not have an associated catalog entry yet, you can add them as a listing with photos under the English catalog entry (the title and description must clearly communicate that the card language is Japanese). We are gradually adding Japanese Pokemon sets to the marketplace, and new releases will be added as they become available.
If you don't find the right language for your Magic card or there’s not a catalog entry for the product you’re trying to list, please reach out to catalog@tcgplayer.com!
Q: Can I list loose packs under booster boxes?
A: No. Booster packs should be listed under the catalog listing that most closely matches the product. Even if the number of packs being sold matches the total included in a booster box, they must be listed as booster packs because they are no longer contained by a booster box.
Please review our Listings with Photos Policy help file section on Selecting the Correct Catalog Entry for more details.
