Recently, eBay announced the official launch of the "eBay Vault" program, allowing sellers to store trading cards and collectibles in the eBay Vault storage facility. eBay said: "Starting today, single trading cards sold for more than $750 can apply for access to the eBay Vault storage facility. Soon, eBay Vault will accept direct submissions without the need for sellers to apply."

It is reported that a new badge will appear on the listing of products entering the eBay Vault storage facility, which will greatly help sellers improve product visibility and increase exposure.

At the same time, once the items enter the "eBay Vault", sellers can "sell immediately" and ship directly without re-authenticating, repackaging or shipping the items anywhere. eBay will automatically grade the items, including Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA), Sports Card Guarantee Company (SGC), Certified Collectibles Group's affiliate CGC Trade Cards, Certified Sports Guarantee (CSG) and Beckett Grading Service (BGS).

By 2023, eBay Vault will expand to other collectibles and luxury goods categories to store more valuable items. In a few years, eBay expects "eBay Vault" to hold up to $3 billion in assets, becoming one of the largest non-government asset stores in the world.

What are the eBay platform rules?

1. Order delivery rules

Although eBay does not have a specific limit on order delivery time, sellers must ship the goods as soon as possible, otherwise they will easily be complained by buyers.

If you cannot ship in time, it is best to write the approximate delivery time in the details; for example, if your details indicate delivery within 3 days, then it must be delivered to the buyer within 3 days. To ensure the buyer's shopping experience, you can increase store repurchase and good reviews. It is recommended to arrange delivery immediately after the buyer places an order.

2. Order logistics not uploaded

eBay also has certain requirements for uploading order logistics tracking codes. After the seller uploads the logistics tracking code, eBay will first verify whether the seller has really shipped the goods; if not, then the verification will not pass. Only after passing the verification can the buyer track the transportation process of their products.

3. Selling counterfeit goods

This is a very serious issue on any platform. If you are found selling counterfeit products, eBay will suspend your seller account, and there is usually no way to appeal. You will then have to re-register for an eBay account.

The eBay Vault program allows sellers to store their trading cards and collectibles in the eBay Vault storage facility. Starting today, single trading cards that cost more than $750 can apply for this privilege.
