Marketplace Fees & What You Keep

A plain-English guide to RocketVault Marketplace fees, launch savings, shipping, tax, and eBay costs.

Public buying is open. U.S. buyers and sellers can use RocketVault Marketplace now.

The short version

It costs $0 to create a listing on RocketVault Marketplace. When a card sells, RocketVault charges the seller:

  • 5.9% of the first $100 of each item's subtotal; and
  • 5.0% of the amount above $100.

Payment processing is included. Buyers do not pay a RocketVault service fee, and sellers do not pay a standard payout or withdrawal fee.

Shipping and sales tax are separate because they depend on the order and the buyer's address.

A few examples

One item’s subtotalRocketVault seller feeSeller keeps before shipping
$5$0.30$4.70
$50$2.95$47.05
$100$5.90$94.10
$200$10.90$189.10

For one item with a $200 subtotal, the first $100 is charged at 5.9% and the remaining $100 is charged at 5.0%. RocketVault rounds each item's fee to the nearest cent, then adds the fees together. Two items with $100 subtotals have a combined $11.80 standard fee; one item with a $200 subtotal has a $10.90 fee.

When Promote RocketVault is available while publishing to eBay, a confirmed promotion reduces that item's RocketVault selling fee by one percentage point: 4.9% on its first $100, then 4% above $100. You can select a shop coupon or use the RocketVault attribution without a coupon. A saved draft or failed eBay publish does not qualify. Existing 0% offers stay at 0%. Read the coupon and promotion guide for limits and eBay's policy.

The listing screen shows the asking price, seller fee, estimated shipping cost, and You receive amount before you publish.

No RocketVault seller fee for existing members at launch

Existing members keep their launch benefit, including accounts with fewer than 50 cards or no cards yet. New accounts created before midnight Eastern on October 1 also qualify under the new member launch offer.

The signup deadline is extended to October 18, 2026, at 9:57:59 a.m. Eastern. New accounts created before that cutoff receive the same 0% offer through October 31, 2026, at 10 a.m. Eastern. Signup does not restart the offer.

Existing members will pay 0% in RocketVault seller fees on orders placed during the shared 30-day launch offer. The fixed window is October 1, 2026, at 10 a.m. Eastern through October 31, 2026, at 10 a.m. Eastern. See the launch offer details and check the storefront for current checkout availability.

The date of the sale is what matters:

  • List before launch and sell during the first 30 days: 0% RocketVault seller fee.
  • List during the offer and sell after it ends: the standard fee applies.
  • Shipping, sales tax, and any eBay fees remain separate during the offer.

RocketVault Marketplace or eBay?

Every new listing includes RocketVault Marketplace. Choose RocketVault + eBay to reach buyers in both places from the same card. Existing eBay-only listings can still be managed.

RocketVault Marketplace is usually the lower-fee choice:

  • RocketVault has no listing fee.
  • Its standard seller fee starts at 5.9% and includes payment processing.
  • Typical eBay card-selling fees are higher, and optional eBay promotion costs can add more.

RocketVault charges $0 to create or manage an eBay listing. Any eBay selling, promotion, or insertion fees still come from eBay and are shown in your eBay account.

Fee schedules can change, so use the live comparison on the Pricing page when deciding where to list.

Shipping

You choose who normally pays for shipping:

  • Buyer-paid shipping: the buyer pays the calculated postage at checkout.
  • Free shipping: the buyer sees free shipping and the actual label cost is deducted from what you receive.

When several cards from one seller fit safely in the same package, RocketVault combines them so the order does not pay for several separate labels.

You do not need to preload a separate shipping wallet. Purchase your label from the order in RocketVault; shipping is handled with that order's funds and seller proceeds. You see the label price before purchasing it.

Sales tax

Sales tax is calculated from the order and delivery address. The buyer sees it before payment. It is not part of the RocketVault seller fee and is not counted as seller proceeds.

Refunds

If an order is fully refunded, RocketVault returns the RocketVault seller fee that was charged on that order. A launch sale that had a $0 RocketVault seller fee keeps that $0 fee treatment if it is refunded later.

Partial refunds are shown in the order timeline with the updated totals. Any shipping, carrier, or payment costs that cannot be recovered are shown clearly before the refund is confirmed.

What appears in your earnings

Each order keeps these amounts separate:

  • item price;
  • discount or accepted offer;
  • buyer-paid shipping;
  • sales tax;
  • RocketVault seller fee;
  • seller-paid label cost;
  • refunds; and
  • final amount paid to the seller.

That lets you see what you actually kept without rebuilding the sale in a spreadsheet.
