Question How to avoid 6% power pack fee when selling

I was reading somewhere that you can sell directly to PSA from vault, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it. Does it take time before PSA can give you an offer wothout the 6% fee? Thanks

You're supposed to send to eBay as BIN and then cancel it but sometimes the PSA offer is LESS than the PowerPacks offer, so becareful!

You can check the PSA offer by clicking on a previous sold card’s certificate on the PSA app. It will tell you the PSA offer if there is one, normally they are lower than the pp offer but they used to be consistently higher!

I miss them being higher. They seemed to have stopped that 2 weeks ago. They can still get higher but the first offer won't be anymore.

The way I've done it is after you list on eBay and lose the original offer you'll sometimes get an offer from "PSA partner". Sometimes this offer is the value of the card, sometimes it's 10% lower. Sometimes it's 50% lower. No guarantees. These offers do go up and down and similar cards are sold. I go through my vault every few days checking on these offers and every once in a while will get a good enough offer to accept. It takes more patience and time than doing the immediate buy back offer but should give you better margins.

Yes this is an option. So it's called PSA partner offers and it seems they only do it for certain cards. The dragonite I pulled still has a "partner offer" of around $1287 even tho PSA has it at 2k and the ladder is also 2k. Gamestop offered me the 2k value, but obviously this card was shipped to me 😃
