TCGplayer is a marketplace where independent sellers, and TCGplayer Direct, list Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, Disney Lorcana, One Piece, Digimon, Star Wars: Unlimited, Flesh and Blood and other trading card games, as singles and sealed product.
Each seller sets its own shipping, so buying from fewer sellers keeps the $1.49 per-seller minimum from piling up on a cart of cheap singles.
Beyond buying cards, TCGplayer works as a reference hub for players and collectors. Each game section carries a price guide, advanced search, deck lists, how-to-play articles and a mass entry tool for adding many cards at once, and the menus also cover Yu-Gi-Oh! and Japanese-language Pokémon sets. Account holders can track their own collection, hold store credit and sign up for a TCGplayer subscription, while sellers get a dedicated portal and resources for professional sellers.
Orders handled by TCGplayer Direct are covered by TCGplayer Safeguard and go through the company's own customer service team. On marketplace orders, a seller has 2 business days to answer a missing-order request before the buyer can ask TCGplayer to step in. Gift cards are sold on the site.

Outside the US
You can pick a ship-to country from a long list; availability and cost depend on each seller.
At TCGplayer, the way you build the cart decides much of the final price.
Compare each listing's price plus its seller's shipping, not the card price alone, because a cheap single from a new seller can carry more shipping than the card costs.
Try to reach $5 with every seller you buy from, so the $1.49 minimum no longer applies and a seller's free-shipping rate can kick in.
For sealed boxes, TCGplayer Direct listings come with Safeguard coverage handled by TCGplayer itself, which can justify a slightly higher price over an unknown seller.
More ways to save at TCGplayer
TCGplayer gift cards are sold on the site, which suits a player whose want list you can't guess.
Sealed product is the safer buy if you might change your mind: unopened factory-sealed items can come back within 30 days with the seller's approval, while singles can't be returned for buyer's remorse.
Check a seller's shipping rate before adding singles to the cart, since some sellers ship free once you spend $5 with them.
