Over the past few years, Pokemon card sales on eBay have seen wild levels of growth, with estimates ranging from 500% year-over-year to as much as 1,046% growth! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So clearly, you want to get in on the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But if you are letting go of a piece of your precious collection, you want to make sure you sell it for a price equivalent to its worth. A price that isn\u2019t so high that you get no bids or so low that you get taken advantage of. Unfortunately, when you check eBay for pricing on similar cards, what you find is all over the board. It can be quite frustrating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019re not alone here. Have no fear – eBay has heard your concerns and developed a new trading card experience known as the Price Guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
eBay created its new Price Guide with both sellers and buyers in mind. The Price Guide intends to provide a comprehensive and, even more importantly, accurate resource that allows users to manage their trading card (including Pokemon cards) sales and to track the item\u2019s value. This is known as eBay’s market value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
eBay\u2019s Price Guide allows users and sellers to monitor the value of cards of interest based on real-time market data. This includes a card\u2019s current and past value, so you can see where the most growth is coming from to further focus your sales funnel. The market value is calculated using transaction data from the past year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Users can dig even deeper by viewing historical data in a sales graph depicting a trading card\u2019s winning bid amounts and the average sales price over the past year. And the best part about eBay\u2019s Price Guide Market Value? It\u2019s updated every few minutes. So you know it\u2019s reflective of the market today<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Price Guide experience can be accessed via the mobile eBay application. Simply type what you\u2019re looking for in the search bar, and the price guide will be at the very top of the results page. Click on \u201cSee price trend,\u201d and you\u2019re in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Upon accessing the Price Guide, you will see the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make the search your own to get the information you need to feel confident selling or buying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019ve made it this far in the article – you\u2019re likely selling more than one Pokemon card. Lucky for you, eBay released an additional tool simultaneously, the eBay Price Guide: Collection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With Collection, sellers with a large portfolio can manage, list, and analyze market value in a single spot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Setting up your Collection is as easy as populating your inventory based on historical purchase history or uploading a CSV file. Once complete, you will now be able to track the value of both your portfolio overall and individual items. Plus, users can view their collection using three views: total portfolio, category view (maybe limited edition versus common Pokemon cards), and individual items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If this sounds like what you\u2019re looking for, head to the \u201cMyeBay\u201d menu and select \u201cCollection.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s say you are looking to sell an Emboar<\/a> card. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You type in \u201cEmboar Pokemon cards\u201d in the search bar of your eBay app, hoping to get an idea of what price you should set. But low and behold\u2026the first 5 five listings show pretty inconsistent pricing, from $00.99 to $8.99. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And then, you see a note at the top of the search results, inviting you to \u201cTrack the value of your trading cards.\u201d Perfect! Stoked to get some clarity, you click and are rewarded with the eBay Price Guide for Emboar<\/a> Pokemon cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You click through the Buying Format drop-down, looking at the differences between all listings, \u201cbuy it now\u201d items, auctions, and those that accepted offers. Selecting auction, you see an average price of $7.99 over the past month. And even better, you see recent spikes in pricing – all the way up to $72.60 in the past month!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Feeling grounded in your options, you list your card with a starting bid price of $10.00. How easy was that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Good luck in trading your Pokemon cards. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Over the past few years, Pokemon card sales on eBay have seen wild levels of growth, with estimates ranging from 500% year-over-year to as much as 1,046% growth!
