Match Attax Trading Cards

What I do on behalf of my son is sell his doubles for this seasons Match Attaxs on eBay for him. He pockets 50p per card which is enough to buy a packet. One card for a packet I would say is quite a deal! I charge 50p for P&P and 50p for the item, so hes even earning money off postage (about 10p)! I would recommend it!

    I wouldn't recommend it as you are only making 35p on each item assuming everything sells . 10p to list and approx 28p paypal fees plus the actual postage of say 27p second class (excluding envelope).

    If you add to that any unsold ones where you still pay the 10p listing you are possibly even running at a loss.
