Mobile View
You need to then select what category you want your listing to end up in.
e.g. If its a Pokémon Card for trade it needs to go into Pokémon Card Trades whereas if you plan to sell the card you would need it to go in Pokémon Cards For Sale.

DEPENDING ON CAMERA QUALITY YOU MAY HIT A DELAY WHEN UPLOADING YOUR IMAGE.
You want the full card to show so please allow a boarder around your card whilst taking your picture as shown in the photo below.
Your listing should now look something like this.
Now you need to add a title to your listing (Limited to 40 characters).
e.g. Card Name followed by any information you want to add here such as ● ,⬥,★ or DAMAGED.
Only applicable to people selling there card.
Add your sale price into the price field.

It is extremely important to keep your stock levels correct especially whilst dealing with only one single card.

If you have the card listed elsewhere or may not be able to check messages/orders on a regular basis you may want to put a 0 in this field or simply leave it blank.

CUSTOMER MAKES PRICE OFFER
In the event of a customer wanting a discount off one of your cards and you agree to give this discount or you simply agreeing to sell a card that is currently set to MESSAGE TO BUY you need to do the following.
STEP 1 – Head over to the listing in question.
STEP 2 – Navigate to the Edit tab.
STEP 3 – Scroll down to the Price section and change the price to the agreed price.
STEP 4 – Scroll to the Quantity section and change the quantity to 1 or above.
STEP 5 – Click Save/Update Listing.
This allows any customer on the site to see the product at the lowered price so if you were to only have one of the item in question somebody else could purchase it before the person you agreed the discount with. (IF THIS HAPPENS ITS UNLUCKY)
