Level up with our new Price Guide

Simply take a picture of the front of a trading card. Our image recognition technology identifies the card and matches it to our catalogue. Once identified, you’ll see relevant pricing data and immediate options to explore similar listings or start a listing draft – all in one place.

Price Guide supports the most popular trading card games (TCG), including Pokémon (English and Japanese), Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece and Disney Lorcana, with continued expansion planned.

No. The card scanning feature is currently only supported on the eBay app. If you don’t have the app, please visit the App Store or the Google Play Store to download.

If a card can’t be confidently identified, you’ll see alternative matches to choose from. This helps ensure accuracy and avoids showing misleading information.

Yes. After scanning, you can explore active listings for the same or similar cards on eBay, making it easy to compare options and buy with confidence.

Yes. Once your card is identified, you can start a listing draft directly from the scan. To help save time and reduce manual entry, product information like brand, model number, colour and photos may be automatically included in your listing.

Yes. Price Guide supports both graded cards and raw cards, with continuous improvements to identification and pricing coverage across both.

Price Guide primarily uses eBay sales data, including up to two years of completed transactions. It also incorporates external data sources such as PSA and CGC Population Reports, and the Card Ladder Index to provide additional context on pricing and market trends.

Yes, the “Median sold price” is calculated using Best Offer accepted prices, not the listed price.

Price Guide is built using completed sales data on eBay. When a card is identified, we match it to the same card and, when available, the same grade, so the pricing reflects comparable sales. We also use accepted Best Offer prices rather than listed prices, helping provide a more accurate view of market value. Actual prices may still vary based on condition, timing, demand and other market factors.

Our data is updated every 24 hours. Therefore, market prices may not reflect real-time changes.

You can view pricing across grades, historical sales trends (up to two years), median sold prices and detailed transaction data to better understand market value.

There are multiple ways to access the Price Guide, such as on My eBay (Tap ”Scan cards”) and when viewing a trading card listing.  

We offer a fully integrated experience, from scan and identification to pricing, buying and selling – all powered by our catalogue and marketplace data.

Yes. Scanning cards and viewing pricing insights is free to use, with no usage limits. Standard eBay selling fees only apply if you choose to list and sell an item. When buying items, the Buyer Protection fee may also apply.

No, this feature is currently only available in the UK and US.

Currently, Price Guide focuses exclusively on trading card games (TCG), with ongoing expansion planned. Support for other categories, including sports cards, isn’t available at this time.

Price Guide is rolling out gradually across the UK and may not yet be available on trading card listings for all users. In the meantime, you can access Price Guide by opening My eBay in the eBay mobile app and selecting “Scan cards.” Check back over the coming weeks for more updates.
