Are there any fees for transactions?

Built for Collectors. Powered by Flat Fees.

We believe every collector deserves a fair, transparent place to trade. Unlike eBay, TCGPlayer, or Whatnot — which charge 10 – 13% on every sale — Pack Smash keeps fees simple and affordable, typically 6 – 7% all-in.

💳 Free to List
List your cards, packs, or sets for free. You only pay when your item sells — that’s it.

⚖️ Simple Transaction Fee
Every completed sale includes:

  • Pack Smash Platform Fee: 3.25% (Collector), 2.25% (Trader), 1.75% (Dealer)
  • Payment Processing (PayPal/Stripe): 3.49% + $0.49
    That’s a total of roughly 6 – 7% all-in, about half what big marketplaces charge.
