Question 1

What are COMC fees in 2025?

Accepted Answer

COMC charges a $1 processing fee per card for Standard and Select service levels. Transaction fees are 5% for fixed-price sales and 7-day auctions (increased from 3.5% in May 2025). To cash out via PayPal or check, there is a 10% cash-out fee. Store Credit eBay Auctions have a 4% fee (minimum $0.99), while Direct-to-Cash eBay Auctions offer 92-95% payouts with a $5 fee for items under $1,000.

Question 2

How does COMC consignment work?

Accepted Answer

COMC is a consignment service for sports cards and collectibles. You mail your cards to COMC, and they scan, photograph, and list them on the COMC marketplace or eBay auctions. You set the selling price for fixed listings. When a card sells, COMC takes a 5% transaction fee and deposits the remaining 95% as COMC Store Credit in your account. To withdraw as cash, there is an additional 10% cash-out fee.

Question 3

What is the COMC cash-out fee?

Accepted Answer

COMC charges a 10% cash-out fee to withdraw funds from your account via PayPal or check. This fee is on top of the 5% transaction fee charged when a card sells. For example, if you sell a card for $100, COMC keeps $5 (5% transaction fee), leaving you with $95 in Store Credit. To withdraw that $95 as cash, COMC deducts $9.50 (10% cash-out fee), leaving you with $85.50. Alternatively, you can use Store Credit to buy cards on COMC and avoid the cash-out fee.

Question 4

Should I use COMC auctions or fixed-price listings?

Accepted Answer

COMC offers both fixed-price marketplace listings and eBay auction options. Fixed-price listings give you control over pricing but may take longer to sell. 7-day auctions have a 5% fee (minimum $5) and can attract competitive bidding. Direct-to-Cash eBay Auctions (launched October 2025) offer 92-95% payouts and listings within 2 weeks, ideal for higher-value cards. Store Credit eBay Auctions have a lower 4% fee but pay out in COMC credit.

Question 5

What COMC service level should I choose?

Accepted Answer

COMC offers Standard, Select, Elite, and eBay Auction service levels. Standard and Select cost $1 per card with a 3-card minimum and support cards up to $100 list price. For cards over $50, COMC recommends Elite Service for better handling and no list price cap. eBay Auction options are ideal for higher-value cards, with Direct-to-Cash Auctions offering 92-95% payouts for cards listed at $9.99 starting bid.

Question 6

Is COMC worth it for selling sports cards?

Accepted Answer

COMC is worth it for sellers with large collections who want a hands-off selling experience. COMC handles photography, listing, storage, shipping, and customer service. However, fees add up: 5% transaction fee + 10% cash-out fee = 14.5% total cost. For high-value cards, eBay Direct-to-Cash Auctions (92-95% payout) may be more profitable. Compare COMC fees to selling on eBay yourself (12.9% + 2.35% payment processing) to decide.
