Turn your collection into cash — safely

Selling on SportsCard takes minutes, costs nothing upfront, and every sale is protected by escrow. Here's exactly how it works.

1

Sign up & add your bank

Create a free account, then add the bank account you want to be paid into under Settings. Takes about three minutes, once-off — it's needed before you can list, so your money always has somewhere to go.

2

Photograph & list

Hit Sell a Card and photograph the card — our AI reads it and fills in the player, set, year and grading for you. Check the details, set your price, done. A card takes about two minutes; ten cards, one coffee.

3

Sell & get paid

When someone buys, their money is held in escrow by TradeSafe. You post the card, the buyer confirms it arrived, and the money is released straight into your bank — normally reflecting within 1–2 business days.

🔒 Why you can't get burned

Every checkout runs through TradeSafe, an independent South African escrow service. The buyer's money is locked in before you post anything, so you never ship a card and then chase payment — and the buyer knows they get their money back if the card doesn't arrive as described. Both sides protected, every sale.

In short: price your card at its true value, and every rand of it lands in your bank. The buyer pays delivery and escrow protection on top — never you.

❓ Quick answers

What can I sell?

Sports trading cards — rugby, soccer, cricket, F1, basketball and more. Raw cards, graded slabs, singles or whole lots sold together. Minimum listing price is R10.

Who handles the shipping?

You post it — pack the card securely (top loader + bubble wrap) and send it via PUDO. The buyer already paid the delivery fee at checkout (it's paid out to you), and the moment they pay you're told exactly where to send it: their chosen PUDO locker or their address.

When do I see my money?

The moment the buyer confirms the card arrived, TradeSafe releases the funds — they normally reflect in your bank within 1–2 business days. If the buyer forgets to confirm, the funds auto-release 7 days after you shipped.

Not sure what your card is worth?

Use the free AI valuation first — photograph the card and it estimates a rand value from real sold prices, so you never underprice a grail.
