Description
What is Shortboxed?
Shortboxed is the most trusted marketplace and auction platform to buy and sell comic books. In addition to a thriving community with tens of thousands of buyers and sellers, there are also free tools and resources such as a price guide, portfolio manager, extensive data, and quality content to make buying and selling easy, safe, and fun.
How does buying and selling work?
For the marketplace, vetted dealers, comic shop owners, and collectors list their comic books for sale on Shortboxed while buyers browse and discover tens of thousands of comic books, both graded and ungraded. When someone buys a book, the seller receives an order confirmation with a pre-paid shipping label. Sellers get paid once the book is confirmed delivered. Our seller fee is a flat 10% - no hidden fees or shenanigans. Super simple!
For event style auctions, approved sellers send in their books to Shortboxed before an auction is curated. Once the auction event is live, buyers can bid on items until the closing time. Once an auction event ends, winners will receive an invoice to pay before receiving their items.

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.

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.

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.

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.
