Before I make the jump, is COMC pretty easy to list and sell on? I don't want to do eBay, but I want to start selling. 

I have moved all of my card selling to COMC.  What I did to start selling is to purchase $50.00 worth of COMC credit.  I then sent in my first batch of cards.  As I started selling cards I let my COMC credit grow unitl I could send in more and more cards.

Some things to remember make sure you pick the service that is right for you.  The basic service is what I use for cards from 1980 to present day.  Cards from 1979 and earlier and cards produced outside the US and Canada I use the Vintage and Obscure service.

Once cards are loaded into your portfolio (port) you can then see who else has those cards and at what prices.  Set your price to what you want.  I take my time during this step.  I know many people want to price all of the cards in a hurry, it is up to you so figure out what works best for your needs.

Good luck with your selling!

selling on COMC is easy.. i wouldn't send in low end or cards from the 80s-90's.. there is a listing fee per card and you won't make anything or much back. I think its better for parallels and inserts. Sportslot is set up better for base cards at .18c per card+ship

Thanks to both of you. I think I will go the route of setting up COMC and sports lots. 

Generally, try to send in things that don't already have a lot of copies for sale on COMC.  And if you price for more than maybe $1, I think you get the option of automatically listing it on eBay and Amazon with no more effort from you than checking a box in your account preferences. 

But right now, the processing time to add cards to the site is taking ages unless you pay for faster service.  I sent in a batch of cards in early February, then the world fell apart, and there are still a dozen or so cards from that batch that have not been listed.

If you will be cashing out when you sell something, make sure you understand the fees involved. The site lists those fees. 

If you do not cash out, it is fun to have some extra cash to shop for cards you need!

I do not know for sure but I think they do not do Amazon any more.  You do not have to do any thing to get your cards list on E-bay through them.  COMC has x amount of listings on E-bay and they add them and remove them .   Not sure how but they do it.   You may get all or just some of your cards listed.

I had eBay show up as a buyer on one of my cards...it sold for something like 47 cents. Surprised me.

With COMC expect long delays and hidden fees. To sell a card on there you are charged three fees at minimum...the shipping fee, the listing fee, then they came up with a selling fee, and they charge 1 cent per month for any card you are asking 76 cents or more for. 

Yes it is easy to sell on COMC.

Send your cards in,  wait and wait for processing  pay for processing (needs to be paid before you can price them)  Price the cards and wait for them to sell.

Then all the other things add up.  Did I send in the right cards?  ( lot of copies of the same card and priced cheaper then I plan to sell for)   Did I price my cards right  (am I to high or low)    Did I figure in the 5% transaction fee shipping cost to COMC?  If they do not sell in 3 months now what about storage fees are they priced over $50 and that fee.  Billy is right need to look at all of it.  Yes there are ways around some of the issues

Did you read their selling rates? 

Eberyone makes some really good points here.  Just to give you some real data here are my current sales figures for December 2020 broken down by sport/category.  I have 17,401 items in my port.
