Comments on Shortboxed for Android

★★★★★ David Guerrero · Jun 5, 2024

The app is great tool for comic book collectors to find those comic books that cannot be found at their local comic bookshop. The app also has a bonus feature and creates a portfolio for your CGC books.

★★★★★ Mark Scherer · Jan 2, 2025

Short boxed is super rad! Great app for buying graded and raw comics. They do an amazing job of doing price analysis as well. However, the most impressive part of short boxed is the discord community.

★☆☆☆☆ Darryn Rose · Oct 9, 2024

App crashes constantly. Restart of app just results in more crashes. Paying invoices is incredibly difficult. Support staff blames bank even though bank says they have no restrictions.

★☆☆☆☆ 6th Face · Jun 19, 2025

I have had 10 books posted at the bottom of thr listed FMV for a year. No buyers. I only eVer get offers of 20% below what The last ebay sales are. Just use ebay.

★★☆☆☆ Dale Noll · Jul 11, 2024

Easy to use and great to browse but the majority of the inventory by sellers is way overpriced and the app won't let you make offers near FMV. So a lot of comics have been sitting for a long time but no deals can be made unless you're 85% within the seller's unrealistic prices. Shame.

★☆☆☆☆ Bryan L · Feb 19, 2025

ACH processing takes 4-7 days, but says 2-4. Says it ships in 2–3 days, but they take more like 2-3 weeks. Some Sellers won't even ship if the auction didn't sell for enough for them, and they aren't penalized in any way by Short boxed. There is no way to message sellers, so you just have to hope they'll send your package correctly. This platform does not have reviews, so you have no way of warning other buyers of a bad seller (skip CapeandCowl). Clearly built with sellers in mind, not buyers.

Trust & Safety: The app requires a broad set of permissions (e.g., CAMERA, READ/WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, INTERNET, POST_NOTIFICATIONS, FOREGROUND_SERVICE, and launcher badge permissions) to support photo submissions, listings, and push communications. It leverages common services such as Firebase and OneSignal for messaging and analytics. Overall, the permissions align with a shopping/marketplace app that handles media uploads and notifications; users should review requested permissions at install for privacy preferences.
