For TikTok, Facebook, Whatnot and eBay sellers
One more place for your stock to sell
TCG Hamster is a UK marketplace just for trading cards. List the stock you already sell elsewhere, keep selling there too, and pay nothing unless a card sells here.
No monthly fee · No contract · Pokémon, One Piece, Lorcana and more
What it costs
Nothing to list and nothing a month. A commission only when something sells, and you always keep at least 90%.
Seller account
10% to start
Open to anyone in the UK, ready in minutes. The rate drops as you sell:
Approved shop
8% from day one
Selling regularly already? Apply as a shop with your TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, eBay or Whatnot links. No physical shop needed. A person reviews every application, and approved shops get a store page collectors can follow.
Apply as a shop →Individual sellers reach 8% after 50 paid sales. A cancelled order or a buyer left without a reply puts a seller back on 10% for a while.
Getting your stock listed
No typing out titles. Every card is matched to our catalogue, so it shows the official artwork and a live UK market price to price against.
Tick off a set
Pick a set, tap the cards you have, set condition and price. Fastest for a box of singles.
Import a spreadsheet
Upload a CSV with name, number, set, condition, quantity and price. We match each row and flag anything that needs a look.
Scan with your phone
Point the camera at a card and it is identified and priced. Pokémon and One Piece, in beta.
Sync a Shopify shop
Run a Shopify store too? Our app imports your catalogue and keeps stock in step both ways.
Got a big list? Email support@tcghamster.com and we will help with the first import.
Postage
The buyer pays for delivery. You pick how it goes out.
Our tracked label
The buyer's fee (£2.99 large letter, £3.99 parcel) buys a tracked label we send you ready to print. Wrap it, stick it on, drop it off.
Your own postage
Already have a postage setup? Post everything your way at your own prices, up to £6.00 a letter and £12.00 a parcel, with free postage over an amount you choose. The whole fee is passed to you.
Getting paid
- 1The buyer pays up front, and we hold the money. No chasing payments, no bank transfers to strangers.
- 2You post the order. Once it has arrived, the money moves into your balance.
- 3Your balance goes to your bank through Stripe automatically once it reaches £20. Press Withdraw any time from £5, and nothing waits longer than 80 days.
Selling to people from your lives or DMs? Send them a deal link instead of your bank details. We hold the money until the card arrives, and because you found the buyer you pay 2% and no marketplace commission.
How deal links workWhere we are, honestly
We are new and still growing our buyers, so this will not replace the platform you sell on now. What it can be is a second shop window that costs nothing until it works: your listings sit on card and set pages that collectors find through Google, and go into our Google Shopping feed. If you have feedback on what would make it worth your time, we want to hear it.
Questions
Can I keep selling on TikTok, Facebook or eBay too?
Yes. There is no exclusivity, no contract and no monthly fee, so listing here costs nothing while your stock sells elsewhere. Just take a listing down here the moment it sells somewhere else.
What if a card sells somewhere else before I take it down?
Cancel it from the order page before you post and the buyer is refunded in full. Don't leave it sitting: an order that is never posted is cancelled automatically after 10 days and counts as a strike against your account. Keep your quantities up to date and it never comes up.
Do I need to be a registered business?
No. Anyone in the UK can list with a seller account and start on 10%. If you run a shop, online or off, apply for a store and an approved store sells at 8% from day one. Apply with your TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, eBay or Whatnot links: you do not need a physical shop.
Which games can I list?
Pokémon, One Piece, Disney Lorcana, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Gundam, Riftbound, Dragon Ball and My Little Pony. Singles, graded slabs and sealed product.
Do I have to photograph every card?
No. Under £5.00 a single needs no photos at all and copies can share one listing, shown with the official artwork. From there it is a quick front and back, and the full set of corner close-ups only from £25.00.
Who pays for postage?
The buyer. Their delivery fee (£2.99 for a tracked large letter, £3.99 for a parcel) buys a tracked label we send you ready to print. Or post everything your own way at your own prices, up to £6.00 a letter and £12.00 a parcel, and the whole fee is passed to you.
When do I get paid?
The buyer pays up front and we hold the money. On a tracked label it moves to your balance 3 working days after delivery, or sooner if the buyer confirms. On your own postage it is 10 working days after you post, or on the buyer's confirmation. Your balance goes to your bank automatically at £20, you can withdraw from £5, and nothing waits longer than 80 days.
Are there any other fees?
No listing fee, no monthly fee and nothing taken at cash-out. The commission is only charged when something sells, and you keep at least 90% of every sale.
I already sell to people on my lives. Can you help with those?
Yes: send your buyer a deal link instead of your bank details. We hold the money until the card arrives, and because you brought the buyer you pay 2% towards card processing and no marketplace commission.
