The terms behind the numbers
Courtyard: fees, sellback & shipping
- Sellback & withdrawal
- Optional cash offer based on the individual card’s platform valuation, with a documented seven-day acceptance window. It is not a refund of the pack price.
- Fees
- Current listings advertise 0% buyer and seller marketplace fees; Vending Machine buybacks are excluded. Digital-wallet payments have no processing fee. Credit-card processing, shipping and taxes can add to the total.
- Physical delivery
- Cards can be shipped; shipping and tax are invoiced for the destination.
- Availability
- Advertises global shipping; a comprehensive platform-access exclusion list was not verified.
Fanatics Live: fees, sellback & shipping
- Sellback & withdrawal
- Instant Rips advertises an offer of 90% of card market value in credits, with 48 hours to accept. Traditional breaks and separate Topps Instant Packs have different rules; Topps Instant Packs do not receive Instant Credit offers.
- Fees
- Break prices, shipping charges and taxes vary. Customer-referral credits cannot cover shipping, fees or taxes.
- Physical delivery
- Live-break purchases use seller fulfilment; Instant Rips cards enter the Fanatics Collect Vault and can be sold, traded or shipped.
- Availability
- The Instant Rips page reviewed was the UK version. The public customer-referral program is US-only; service and product eligibility require a separate check.
Compare the outcome, not just the opening
The best comparison starts with what you want to keep. A physical card for your binder, a graded slab in a vault and a digital game item are different products, even when the opening animation feels similar.
Read each platform’s source-linked review before committing. Product-specific terms take priority over a broad comparison, especially where a platform offers several pack formats.
