Why RareLink
eBay is a flea market. TCGplayer is a vending machine. Facebook groups are a casino. RareLink is the card show floor — built by collectors who got tired of choosing between cheap, safe, and fun.
Five things only here
Real card-for-card trades
Propose a swap with optional cash on either side. Same money-rail protection as a sale.
Fee math
RareLink keeps the seller fee at 1%, then shows the buyer every checkout line item before they pay. On a $500.00 card, that saves the seller about $62.21 against an eBay-style fee.
Transparent line items: Stripe processing and buyer protection are shown at checkout, so both sides know where the money goes.

Floor notes
The packed-floor feeling stays: chase cards, trade circles, reputation, and protected deals. Each one now points to a real part of the site instead of crowding the first screen.
How it works
RareLink turns a Discord trade or a Facebook group sale into a protected transaction in under 60 seconds. The rest of the rail runs itself.

Card show lore
Printing quirks, binder secrets, provenance tells, and the tiny collector rituals that turn a listing into a story.
Connected-art tells
Some modern illustration runs are built like little panoramas. Side-by-side in set order, backgrounds line up and the binder page becomes the actual scene.
Ready when you are
Browse the floor, list one card, or read the fee math first. RareLink is built so each path feels useful before it asks you for anything.

List
Autofill the card, add photos, choose a price, and publish a protected checkout listing.
1% seller fee — the lowest in TCG
Save $60 on a $500 card vs eBay. We make money on volume and Pro, not on every transaction.
Wishlist that finds you
Match cron sweeps every hour. When someone lists what you want, it lands on your wishlist page.
Collector identity, not just an account
Your /u/username shows portfolio value, set progress, top hits, and trust tier — five earned levels.
Pokémon TCG autofill
Type "char" — we pull canonical card data + TCGplayer market price. Listing under 60 seconds.
Head to head
The honest pitch
We're not trying to replace eBay. We're trying to make eBay irrelevant for the deal between you and the collector you already know. The Facebook group sale, the Discord trade, the in-person handoff at the show — RareLink is the rail under those moments.
Protected by default
Stripe-held funds, 72-hour inspection, and real dispute paths when needed.
The 30% problem
You do not have to choose between losing 13% on a marketplace or 30% to a dealer. RareLink keeps the direct collector deal and adds the protection rail.

The swirl premium
Vintage holo sheets can leave a bright galaxy swirl near the Pokemon. Same card, same grade, but a clean face-side swirl can make collectors lean in hard.
Alignment dots
A tiny black printer dot near a badly cut corner can separate a real miscut from plain off-centering. Convention buyers check corners first.
The lawsuit ghost
Kadabra disappeared from new cards for years after a public likeness dispute with Uri Geller. It became one of those stories every old-head eventually tells.
Mail-in scars
Some Japanese mail-in promos are notorious for tiny surface issues because they literally traveled through a redemption pipeline before reaching collectors.
Crimp or cosplay?
Real pack-crimp errors have pressure and texture from the wrapper seal. Printed-looking crimps are a red flag. Touch matters as much as sight.
Floor whisper
If a seller refuses protected payment on a grail, the deal is already telling on itself.
Floor whisper
A clean cert photo can be more persuasive than a dramatic slab angle.
Floor whisper
The back edge tells more truth than the front art. Always flip the card.
Floor whisper
A cheap card with a great story can move faster than a grail with bad photos.
