TCGplayer in 2026: New Seller Mistakes, Fees, and What Actually Works

Selling on TCGplayer in 2026 is very different than it was even a year ago. In this episode of the AppalachiaTCG Podcast, we break down what’s changing for local game stores and online sellers, what new sellers need to know before starting, and the real ups and downs of running a TCGplayer store today. Tony (@JustTake3) just reached Level 4 on TCGplayer and officially began selling this year, while AppalachiaTCG continues operating as a high-volume seller and local game store in Eastern Kentucky. We discuss fees, grading standards, Direct vs non-Direct selling, customer expectations, and how TCGplayer impacts real brick-and-mortar stores in 2026.
