Help & FAQ
CardBounty is a reverse marketplace for trading cards. Instead of browsing listings, you post a bounty for the exact card you want, and verified bounty fillers come to fill it.
Posting bounties is free for bounty posters, always. Bounty Fillers pay only when deals close (a small commission, much lower than eBay).
Buyers drive the marketplace — without demand there is no platform. We earn from sellers on closed deals, so buyers never pay a fee.
Create a free account, then use "Post a Bounty" to describe the card you want: player, year, set, condition, and your reward.
Your handle is your public display name across CardBounty (on bounties, messages, and ratings). Your email and real name stay private.
Never. Your email and real name stay private — only your handle (e.g. @your-name) is visible on bounties and threads. All conversation happens in the on-platform thread.
When a bounty filler responds, you message them on-platform, agree on terms, and rate each other afterward. On-platform reputation keeps deals trustworthy.
On-platform deal history plus two-sided ratings mean both sides have reputation skin in the game. If something goes sideways, contact us through the contact form and we will help mediate.
Yes. Include the grading service and grade right in your bounty notes (e.g. "PSA 8, OC OK"). Sellers with matching graded inventory can respond directly.
Yes. CardBounty is fully responsive and works in any modern mobile browser (Safari, Chrome, Edge). A native iOS / Android app is on the roadmap.
