Selling Suggestions from longtime seller.
Hi all. Long time Pricecharting seller and contributor here. I also have sold on eBay for a few years. Just wanted to say that I enjoy selling on Pricecharting a lot more than on eBay. It's a lot more straightforward and profits are mostly better than eBay. I would like to take the time to input some suggestions for the marketplace. I have a feeling a lot of what I'm going to say has been suggested before but that's ok, just wanted to get my thoughts out.
Pictures function:
In my opinion, this part of marketplace needs a desparate overhaul.
The display of the thumbnails is a bit messy, especially on mobile where sometimes the photos go off the screen. A table here would be great.
Six photos needs increased to at least eight. If you have a CIB item that you've tested, six photos is a constraint.
Basic photo editing tools for cropping and rotating.
Ability to delete photos youve accidentally attached my mistake. Right now you either have to refresh the draft or submit and reedit.
View counter:
Knowing how much engagement you get on your listing would be helpful
Text limit increase:
I'm very descriptive in my listings as I think it helps cover my ass down the road. I think a slight text limit increase would help here. Say an extra 200 characters at least.
Ability to add shipping on cheap items:
I get it. It's a lot easier to not have to deal with shipping charges but hear me out. Let's take Madden 95 for example. Right now it Pricecharts for $4 and some change. if we were to sell a copy of this, Pricechart would expect us to sell below the $4 mark if we want engagement but what Pricecharting does not take into account is that the eBay listings used for reference all charged shipping. So in effect, if we want engagement on a $4 game we have to sell it for $3-something with free shipping, making it impossible to make a profit. I believe we should have the option to charge shipping for anything at least under $10.
Anyway, that's my two cents. Thanks for reading my feedback. -Josh
Add field/value to collection for cards. (NM,LP,MP,HP,DMG)
Can we add field/value to collection for cards. (NM,LP,MP,HP,DMG)? It would be nice to know condition of cards in our collection.
Static Item type buttons
A static button somewhere on the border of the site with options for each search type instead of just aa drop down menu after the search (video games, cards, comics) they could each have a splash page if you wanted to make it pretty.
Sort Collection by Cost
Add ability to sort a collection by the cost so I can see the items I paid the most for.
Set/Expansion Filter for Card Scanner
The card scanner function is great, but would be awesome to be able to set a default set/expansion for the session.
I have generally sorted my cards into sets before scanning, so being able to set the filter would remove the need to correct a bunch of entries for cards that have been reprinted.
Depending on the set, up to 50% of cards selected a different expansion requiring a fair bit of manual intervention. Would probably have been quicker to not use a scanner, in which case other providers have a preferable UI.
I’m not a computer guy, but I imagine that setting the expansion would potential reduce the resource demand on your servers? As instead of comparing card to thousands of options, it is only a couple of hundred.
POKEDEX
this feature would be nice for tracking your pokedex. allowing you to add the specific card you have for each pokemon in the pokedex. Collectr App has a pokedex tracker, but it doesnt allow you to scan the specific card you own, its just a check box. I think adding something like this would be cool, fun, and useful for some. OR, if not adding a new section, maybe being able to sort by pokedex number?? then we can create our own folders.
Add Calvin and Hobbes to Comics section
Requesting Calvin and Hobbes to be added to the Comics section. There is a huge fandom of Bill Watterson and his comic series and plenty of comic books on the market.
Added now.

I just read through three different Calvin and Hobbes books last month. I read them as a kid and still loved them as an adult.
Offer a query parameter to link to pages with "Show Historic Prices" pre-opened
I maintain a cross-medium wishlist where I have a "More Info" bar on many wishlist entries with links to various sites and one of the things I link to is PriceCharting pages.
It'd be very helpful for streamlining the experience for friends and family if there were a query parameter I could add to my links to restore the old behaviour of having the historical price graph visible without needing to direct them to find and click a tiny link.
