For Collectors, By Collectors

Want To Buy connects TCG buyers with sellers who have the cards they're looking for. Sellers must pass a mandatory 2-photo scam filter before you're connected. From there, payment and shipping are between you and the seller — PayPal Goods & Services strongly recommended.

How the connection works

Four steps from want list to connected.

Post a buy order

Describe the card, condition, and the price you're willing to pay.

Receive offers

Sellers who have the card submit offers. Compare price, rating, and notes.

Mandatory scam-filter photos

After you accept, the seller submits 2 timestamped photos (front + back with handwritten note) proving they physically hold the card.

Get connected & transact

The buyer reviews the 2 mandatory photos and — if satisfied — approves. (Buyers can informally ask sellers for extra photos via message, but only the original 2 are required to proceed.) Once approved, the message thread opens and the two parties arrange payment and shipping directly — PayPal Goods & Services is strongly recommended because PayPal provides independent buyer protection.

Want To Buy is a connection platform. It does not process payments, hold funds, or mediate disputes. All transactions are between the buyer and the seller. See Payment Safety for how PayPal protection works and how to use your message thread as evidence.
