What is prioritized when choosing a Trading Card (TCG) buying service? Decision criteria and needs revealed by user survey

When choosing a trading card (TCG) buying service, many people do not simply decide where to sell based solely on the high purchase price. An increasing number of people are making their selection based on a comprehensive comparison, including factors such as whether shipping and handling fees are free, if the appraisal details are easy to understand, and if they can conduct transactions with peace of mind. Especially in TCG buying, in addition to selling for even a slightly higher price, the ease of use and the speed of payment are also often emphasized, and differences between services tend to directly influence why one is chosen over another.

Therefore, Fukufuku Toreka, which connects "fun" and "interesting" to experiences (https://fukufuku-toreka.com/), conducted a survey targeting users who have sold cards within the past 12 months, asking about "points emphasized when choosing a buying service," "attractive buying methods," and "conditions desired for mail-in buying." (The survey was conducted using Freeasy)

In this article, based on these results, we will clearly explain what criteria users who want to sell TCGs use to choose a buying service.

This content will be useful not only for those considering selling TCGs or those planning to use a buying service in the future, but also for businesses operating card buying services, providing insights into the real voices of users.
