MySlabs

Certainly some fair points and I guess the real takeaway is that MySlabs and every other online platform has their audience, method of approaching risk, and associated fee structure. I would never suggest one is objectively "better" than the other and the truth is most collectors (myself included) use more than one. In the end folks have to decide what's most important to them and where they feel that they're getting the right blend of value and safety. Again I'm the relatively new CEO so certainly can't take credit for previous success but MySlabs (largely on the slabbed sports-card side as the comics category is only a month old) has 23,000+ active users, 140,000+ active listings, and tens of thousands of successful transactions over the last few years with virtually no instances of loss for members and certainly nothing significant. With eBay's new managed payments model I'm seeing sellers usually paying 12-18% all in depending on their account's respective "risk" level. As tons of slabs move through their site every month (with a fair amount of shenanigans, returns, etc) I think presenting MySlabs as a viable alternative is fair. But I guess in the end folks have to explore and experience different platforms and decide for themselves. The private Facebook group "MySlabs Welcome Forum" is about 8,000 strong and is the real meat and potatoes of the MySlabs Community. The way members defend and help one another reminds me quite a bit of this and the OA version of this forum (where I've spent most of my time over the years). Perhaps that community dynamic is a real value add for MySlabs? Anyway thanks for the discussion! Respectfully, Ken Rodgers

Hey Ares, international BUYERS (and we have many) must have their purchases first sent to a 3rd party shipping service with a US address like "Ship My Cards". That said, international SELLERS are also permitted to transact on the platform. The added requirement is that the country of origin is included in listings so buyers know to expect additional lead time on items. Also keep in mind that all prices on MySlabs include shipping so sellers must price with that understanding. Hope this helps and please feel free to poke around our Help Center for additional info https://myslabs.zendesk.com/hc/en-us

Hey guys, my name is Ken Rodgers and i'm actually the relatively new (3 months) CEO of MySlabs. I saw this thread and thought it might be a good opportunity to introduce myself and more importantly answer any questions folks may have! Just a small bit of background, MySlabs has been around since 2019 and has developed quite a dedicated following among slabbed card collectors/dealers with 22,000+ active members and 6,000+ approved sellers. On the most basic level we make every effort to run a safe, no nonsense platform with manually approved sellers, no returns (unless items are damaged), and some of the lowest fees in the industry. Currently sellers pay a 1% final value fee and of course payment processing fees (which are fairly ubiquitous on most platforms and are separate). At the moment we are a Paypal Marketplace however we are in the midst of an integration with Stripe Payment Processing to give members more options to transact. As many of the team here internally (not to mention many of our members) collect both slabbed cards and comics we felt opening up the platform to comics as well was a natural progression. Needless to say since the early part of May the comics category has been open and is slowly gaining traction. The ball is already in motion in terms of advertising to the comic collecting community so we look forward to bringing on many new members (and listings) in short order. If anyone has an interest in getting to know the community we have a private Facebook Group (MySlabs Welcome Forum), Instagram account @myslabs, as well as a relatively new Twitter account I now manage myself @MySlabsOfficial. Of course i'm always happy to answer questions here as needed. Thanks! Ken Rodgers CEO MySlabs
