HOW IT WORKS
A straightforward guide to buying, listing, shipping standards, escrow protection, and receiving seller banking payouts on MillionTCG.
STEP-BY-STEP The Marketplace Lifecycle
How transactions move from listing to final delivery and payout.
Listing Your Cards
Sellers publish singles, graded slabs, or sealed booster boxes using our listing portal. Sellers provide card title, category, set details, grade condition (Raw Mint, Near Mint, PSA 10, etc.), clear photos, and their asking price.
Our dynamic fee calculator automatically displays the exact 10% platform fee and your 90% net earnings before publishing.
Buyer Purchases & Funds Enter Escrow
When a buyer completes checkout, the payment is processed securely. The 10% platform fee is accounted for, and the remaining 90% net payout is placed into Escrow Protection (Status: Held in Escrow).
Both buyer and seller receive automated order confirmation receipts, and the order appears on the seller's dashboard awaiting dispatch.
Packaging & Shipping with Tracking
The seller prepares the package according to MillionTCG Top-Loader Protection Standards, ships the item via USPS, UPS, FedEx, or DHL, and enters the valid tracking number in their Seller Dashboard.
Once tracking is submitted, the order status transitions to In Transit, and real-time tracking is made accessible to the buyer.
Delivery Confirmation & Payout Disbursement
When the carrier confirms that the package has been delivered to the buyer's destination, the escrow status updates to Delivered & Released.
The administration verifies the confirmed delivery scan and directly transmits the 90% net funds to the seller's designated payout account (Venmo, Direct Deposit ACH, Zelle, or PayPal).
BANKING Payout Channels & Verification
Configure how you receive your 90% net earnings in your Account Dashboard.
How to set up your payout method:
Log into your account, navigate to Seller Banking & Payouts, choose your preferred payout channel (Venmo, Direct Deposit, Zelle, or PayPal), enter your legal name and account handle, and click Save Preferences. Your information is securely encrypted and synced across all your sessions.
