Using the Order Book & Bid/Ask System
Misprint uses a bid/ask system similar to stock exchanges. This system allows for more efficient trading and better price discovery for Pokemon cards. You can view all of your current asks (listings) and manage incoming bids in the Order Book.
Selling Through Our Bid/Ask System
Creating an Ask
An "ask" is your listing price — what you're willing to sell your card for. Think of it like, what's your asking price! When you list a card, you're creating an ask in the system that buyers can purchase immediately.
Receiving Bids
Buyers can place bids below your asking price. You'll be notified of these bids and can choose to accept, decline, or wait for a better offer.
Selling Now
If there are existing bids for your card, you can choose to "Sell Now" to the highest bidder, completing the transaction immediately.

How Price Matching Works
The system automatically matches compatible bids and asks:
- If you list a card (create an ask) at or below an existing bid price, your card will automatically sell to the highest matching bidder.
- If a buyer places a bid at or above your asking price, your card will automatically sell to that bidder.
- The price chart helps you set competitive prices by showing recent sales trends.
Order Book Features
- Create an Ask: List your card at your desired price with options for PSA/BGS/CGC graded cards or raw/sealed products.
- Manage Active Listings: View and update your current asks, adjust prices, or remove listings.
- Review Bids: See all bids on your cards and choose to accept or decline each offer.
- Sell Now: View existing bids for cards you own and sell immediately at the highest bid price.
- Transaction History: Track all your completed sales, with detailed analytics on your performance.
Using the Card Scanner
Our Card Scanner allows you to quickly list PSA graded cards by scanning the label. This saves time and ensures accurate listings.
How to Use the Scanner
- Go to the Scanner page (we recommend using a mobile device and using this in app is best)
- Allow camera access when prompted
- Position the PSA labels within the scan area (you can scan more than one at a time!)
- The system will automatically detect and read the label information
- Verify the details and make any necessary adjustments
- Set your asking price and publish the listing
Payments & Payouts
Every Monday, we process payouts through your Stripe Connect account for all items shipped and received by the previous Sunday.
Payout Process
- Payment Eligibility: Orders become eligible for payout after delivery.
- Payout Schedule: Standard payouts are processed every Monday for eligible orders from the previous week. It may take 1-4 business days for funds to arrive.
- Payment Method: Funds are transferred to your connected Stripe account, which you can set up in your Seller Profile.

Shipping Orders
Prompt and secure shipping is crucial for maintaining good seller ratings and customer satisfaction.
Shipping Best Practices
- Shipping Timeline: Ship orders within 2 business days of purchase.
- Packaging: Use appropriate protection for graded cards and sealed products (see Shipping Policy for recommendations).
- Tracking: Always use tracking and enter the tracking number in the order management system.
- Insurance: Consider adding insurance for high-value cards. The shipping fee may not cover insurance for expensive items. Misprint is not responsible for lost or damaged items during shipping so insurance is highly recommended.
- Shipping Notifications: When you enter the tracking number, the buyer is automatically notified.
Adding Tracking Information
- Ship your order within 2 business days
- Go to your Order Management page
- Find the order in your "Sold Items" list
- Click "Add Tracking" and enter the tracking number and carrier
- The buyer will be automatically notified once tracking is added
Shipping Fee Structure
Buyers pay a shipping fee that is passed on to you as the seller:
- $2.50 base fee per seller + $2.50 per item ordered
- Single item: $5.00 total shipping ($2.50 seller fee + $2.50 item fee)
- Multiple items: $2.50 seller fee + $2.50 per item (e.g., 3 items = $10.00 shipping)
Important Fee Information
While shipping fees are passed on to you as the seller, please note that platform fees and payment processing fees are still charged on the total transaction amount (including shipping). The platform commission and payment processing fees apply to both the item price and shipping fees.
