The best place I have found for buying or selling Funko Pops has been Mercari. Grated there are people on it that just wanna make a quick Buck but for the most part it’s collectors selling from there own collection.

Not sure why I never thought of this! This is a great way to do it! I have a feeling most casual sellers won’t know the weights. But for more experienced sellers this is great!

You can always log into Paypal and then go to http://www.paypal.com/shiplabel/create/ in order to create USPS First Class labels with tracking from home. Just make sure you get the weight correct and that you set your drop off date and you are good to go. Thats how I ship all my sales and it allows me to copy/paste the tracking into the Seller Dashboard for each cart and since my post office has a package drop chute, I can avoid the line when dropping them off.

Hey There! First, welcome to PPG, glad to have you with us.

We CURRENTLY, do not have a way to print labels online. It is a big integration that we will have in the “near-ish” future. For now you have it exactly right, sellers are taking items into the PO and manually adding tracking into the dashboard. Don’t hold your breathe but at the same time keep your eyes open for that announcement, it’ll be a big one haha.

Thanks for the great article. I am new here and currently just a member with my collection in my profile. I do, however, sell Pop!s on eBay. One of the tremendous services they now offer is the ability to purchase USPS shipping and print the label right from their site. Since nearly every Pop! in the usual 3.75″ size is around 8oz boxed, I can ship them consistently by USPS for about $3.50 or a bit less in a new Uline box with double bubble wrapping. Does PPG offer a way to print online postage? If not, do the HobbyDB folks? I can’t find anything about it in either site’s FAQ. If neither do, how do most members here ship their Pop!s? Do they just drive them to the PO and them come back and add the tracking info manually? Thanks for taking the time to read this and to help out! Much appreciated.

Very true for some. But at some point eBay wasn’t a reputable marketplace, until it was. And we have buyer and seller protections in place, same as eBay. The biggest benefit to the marketplace is actually the time it saves listing items. eBay doesn’t have any catalog for anything, which adds time to listing everything. There are definitely pros and cons to every platform.

Each seller sets their own price for shipping. It’s very simple to tell who isn’t that motivated to sell.

The % doesn’t make much difference for lower end pops.
