For buyers

  • Bid from the web or the app

    Watch and bid in the browser or the Cardboard Alpha app.

  • One tap, never an overbid

    The button bids exactly the next step at the price you saw. If someone beat you to it, it is refused, not placed higher.

  • Vault it or ship it

    Every win asks. Vaulted cards sit in our warehouse under your account; shipped wins arrive as one parcel per show, at the shipping price the seller shows before you bid.

For sellers

  • Keep the full hammer price

    0% commission. Card processing (2.9% + 30¢) is charged to the buyer as its own line.

  • Go live from the phone or OBS

    Go live from the Cardboard Alpha app, or stream from OBS with the key in your show console.

  • Paid by Stripe

    Paid by Stripe 7 days after the buyer receives the item. Cards selling for $250 or more are checked at our vault first ($5 inspection + signature shipping, deducted from your payout).
