Understanding Prices
How market reference prices and seller pricing work on CardNexus — and what makes up your total at checkout.
Last updated 8 days ago
Market Reference Prices
Every card on CardNexus displays a market price pulled from the largest TCG marketplaces in the world:
These market prices are updated regularly and include low, mid, and market value data points. They serve as a benchmark — a reference point so you can tell whether a listing is priced competitively.
Market prices are reference data only and are not binding. They reflect what cards are selling for on other platforms, giving you useful context — but actual prices on CardNexus are set by individual sellers.
While we do our best to provide accurate market data, price references are sourced automatically and may occasionally contain inaccuracies — for example, if a card is mapped to the wrong product on a source platform, or if data is temporarily unavailable. Always use market prices as a general guide and compare multiple listings before making a purchase.
Seller Pricing
Every listing on CardNexus is priced by the seller. Sellers can set any price they want — above, at, or below the market reference. You'll see both the seller's price and the market price on every product page, so you can easily compare. And if the seller allows it, you can propose a lower price yourself from your cart — see Making an offer on a seller's cards.
Prices vary between sellers based on:
Card condition — Near Mint commands a premium over Lightly Played or Moderately Played
Language — depending on the game, certain languages can command higher or lower prices
Finish — Foils and special variants usually cost more
Seller reputation — established sellers with high ratings may price slightly higher
Supply and demand — popular cards or scarce printings will cost more
Currencies
CardNexus supports 10 currencies, determined by where the seller is located:
All prices, fees, and shipping costs are displayed in the seller's currency. Each checkout is limited to a single region — you can mix currencies but cannot mix regions in one cart.
For more on how regions work, see Currencies and Regions.
Price Trends
On every product page, you'll find a price history chart showing how the card's market price has moved over time. You can view 30-day, 3-month, 6-month, and 1-year trends to spot whether a card is trending up or down.
CardNexus also features a Daily Movers section that highlights the biggest price winners and losers across the catalog — great for collectors and investors who want to stay on top of market shifts.
💡 Tip: In Daily Movers, the “From my inventory” filter shows which of your own cards moved in price today.
Understanding Your Total at Checkout
The price you see on a listing is just the card price. Your final total at checkout will also include:
Shipping — calculated per seller based on your location and order size
Buyer service fee — 2.5% + a small fixed fee (varies by currency, ~€0.30 equivalent) applied once per checkout
Negotiation discount — if you accepted a deal with the seller, the discount appears as its own line, and the buyer fee is calculated after the discount
Both are clearly shown before you confirm your payment. For a full breakdown of fees, see Fee Structure Overview
