Free guide

25 mistakes sports card sellers
make on eBay — and how to fix them.

From listing copy that buyers actually search, to packaging that survives a shipping dispute — twenty-five specific changes you can apply to your next auction. Free PDF, no signup walls.

  • How to write titles eBay search matches in the first three words.
  • The packaging stack that survives a SNAD dispute — sleeve, top-loader, team bag.
  • When to list (and why Sunday evening through Tuesday morning wins).
  • Why “Gem Mint” on a raw card is the fastest way to lose feedback.

Why CardPeak

We don't buy collections. We make yours worth more.

Independent, not a buyer

We never buy collections outright. Our incentive is aligned with yours: maximize your sale price, not our margin.

Platform expertise

Deep experience across eBay, PWCC, Goldin, and heritage auctions — we match your cards to the right venue.

Personalized recommendations

No cookie-cutter advice. Every collection is different, and our recommendations reflect your goals, timeline, and risk tolerance.

No gatekeeping

The free guide, the blog reads, and the eBay store are all open access. We do not put paid advisory between you and an answer.

Authentic eBay feedback

Feedback straight from the founder's eBay buyers.

Every entry below is a buyer's feedback left on the founder's eBay profile — not a CardPeak customer story. Click through to see the full profile, the item-level ratings, and every prior transaction.

The feedback entries are being curated from the founder's eBay profile and will appear here once published.

In the meantime, the live profile is the source of record — every rating, every buyer handle, and every transaction date.
