Battles between auction houses and marketplaces for customers to consign valuable sports trading cards occur on a daily basis, with each company making sales pitches as to why someone would receive the most money in selling through them.Fanatics Collect is attempting to up the ante for sellers by launching FanCash payouts for customers, which waives transaction fees from anywhere between six and 12 percent that typically accompanies any sale. But there’s a catch — FanCash, Fanatics’ “loyalty currency,” can only be used within the company’s ecosystem: Fanatics Collect, Fanatics.com, Topps, online breaks, tickets and memorabilia.The consignor would have to select the “FanCash payout” option before listing the item. It can be applied through a “buy now” or auction sale.Fees charged by eBay, the largest marketplace in the sports collectibles space, stand at 13.25 percent on a total amount of the sale up to $7,500 calculated per item and another 2.35 percent on the portion of sales over $7,500. Many top auction houses charge fees that can top 20 percent. However, auction houses sometimes reduce or wave fees entirely on certain items they want to be attached to. The size of these fees often plays a role in where people decide to sell their collectibles.
