Everything Midnight Merchant ships
Sellers get a purpose-built console with bulk workflows, smart pricing, folder-scoped discounts, and an auto-maintained task list. Buyers get fast catalogue search, market history, and PayPal buyer protection on every order. Every feature, one page.
For Sellers
The Transaction Hub is a purpose-built seller console that covers every step from adding a card to shipping it, rating the buyer, and growing repeat sales. Built for sellers with three cards or three thousand.
Single cards, sealed products (booster boxes, ETBs, bundles, starters), and Mixed Lots — each with a tailored form that captures only the specs that matter for that type, with catalogue auto-fill so you’re not retyping set names and card numbers.
A drag-and-drop staging workspace for listing dozens or hundreds at once. Search the catalogue on the left, drag cards — or whole axis groups like "every Rare in this set" — into staging, then apply condition, grade, and price to everything in one click.
Combine cards from a single game into a single lot with card count, condition range (min–max), year range, and a foils-included flag. Perfect for clearing bulk in one transaction instead of listing a thousand commons individually.
Flag a single-card listing as a playset: each "unit" of that listing becomes a bundle of N identical cards sold at one price. Buyers see a Playset badge so expectations are clear up-front.
Up to 8 images per listing, drag-to-reorder, stock-image fallback from our catalogue. Uploading a custom photo after picking a catalogue card drops your image into the next empty slot instead of clobbering it, and the live preview shows exactly what buyers will see.
Every listing form surfaces the current market median for that card × condition × grade combination, sourced from live sales data. One click applies the suggestion; you can always override.
From the bulk-list workflow, choose "Publish to marketplace" to go live immediately, or "Save to my items" to stash listings as hidden drafts until you’re ready. No surprise launches of half-finished rows.
One workspace with pillar navigation for Inventory, Add Item, Bulk List, Offers, Sold, Purchases, Watched, Reviews, Discounts, To-do, and Folders. Live counts against each pillar so your next task is always one click away.
Browse and edit thousands of listings without the page slowing down. Inline editing for price, quantity, status, and description. Multi-select bulk operations, drag-based selection with grip handles, and product-type chips so singles, sealed, and Mixed Lots are distinguishable at a glance.
"Graded Pokémon", "Sealed Booster Boxes", "Damaged Bulk" — organise inventory into custom folders that match your workflow, not ours. Listings can live in multiple folders, drag the chips right off a row to re-file them.
Per-item flat rate, per-listing override, or bulk discount (base cost for first N items plus a small per-additional). Set your shipping model once during onboarding and override per listing when it doesn’t fit. Buyers see the actual shipping cost before they pay.
Every seller gets a public shop URL with display name, profile image, rating, review count, member-since date, and every active listing filtered by game and edition. Share the link anywhere — your own storefront without the Shopify bill.
When an order lands, a "Ship order" task appears for you automatically — one per (seller, order) pair so multi-seller carts don't cross-contaminate. Delivery confirmation spawns a "Leave a rating" task; each auto-completes once you follow through. No manual bookkeeping.
Flag any single order shipped with a carrier and optional tracking, or select a batch of sold rows and ship them all at once with shared carrier/tracking. The buyer gets an automatic shipping email with the tracking link the moment you submit.
Buyers can make offers below list price; you accept, reject, or counter from the Offers pillar. Accepting creates a time-boxed reservation that locks stock for the buyer to check out — expiry emails notify them at the halfway mark and again when the hold releases.
Sellers have a reputation surface too. Rate your buyers after delivery with the same 1–5-star flow buyers use on you; aggregate buyer scores feed into every future seller’s confidence.
Issue percentage-off codes with real scoping. Target an individual buyer (thank-you codes for a repeat customer), a specific listing, or — most powerful — an entire folder so your "Vintage Graded" or "Clearance Bulk" cohort goes on sale with one switch. Public or buyer-specific codes both supported.
Your unified Reviews tab shows every rating you've received and every one you've given. Respond to any rating publicly so future buyers see you engage with feedback — a recovered 1-star with a thoughtful reply beats an unanswered 5-star.
Every visible listing shows up in Google Shopping and price-comparison results — title, image, price, availability, and shipping, all kept in sync automatically. Free discovery surface on top of our marketplace traffic.
The homepage transaction calculator shows your exact payout (item price − platform fee − PayPal fee) for any price you set. No surprise the week the payout lands — price with your take-home in mind from the start.
For Buyers
Search hundreds of sellers at once, track prices over time, and check out with full PayPal buyer protection. Every transaction on Midnight Merchant is a Goods & Services payment by default.
Fast, forgiving search across every active listing. Handles card-number patterns like "Charizard 4/102" and mixed queries spanning name, game, edition, and card number in one go.
Pick multiple games, sets, rarities, and conditions at once. Facet counts update as you narrow — choose a rarity first, and only games that contain it remain in the dropdown.
Every card has an interactive price-history chart with median, 5th, and 95th percentiles over time. Graded cards filter by grading company and grade tier so the signal stays clean.
Save any card or sealed product to your personal watchlist. Get notified by email if a watched listing sells or is delisted, so the right deal never slips past you.
Add listings from any combination of sellers to one cart. Checkout groups per seller, calculates their shipping rule, applies any discount codes you hold, and gives one total to approve.
Buyer protection isn't an upsell — it's the default. Every payment runs through PayPal G&S so if an item never arrives or isn't as described, you're covered.
Confirm receipt from your Purchases screen and you'll be prompted to rate the seller. Ratings feed back into the reputation score buyers see everywhere on the site.
Talk to sellers before or after a sale. Full threaded conversations for requesting photos, negotiating offers, or checking in on shipping — all inside your account.
One dropdown in the header rolls up unread messages and outstanding tasks. Per-source isolation means a glitch in one feed never breaks the others.
Browse in AUD, USD, CAD, EUR, GBP, or JPY. Live exchange rates convert every price, shipping line, and checkout total — your choice persists across sessions.
Don't love the sticker price? Submit a lower offer on any accepting listing. Sellers can accept, counter, or reject — accepted offers reserve the stock so no one else can grab it while you check out.
Every seller has a public rating surface: average score, total ratings, recent reviews, and the seller’s own responses. Shops you trust become easier to find.
Platform & Trust
Payments, reputation, SEO, email, mobile, analytics. The stuff that makes buying and selling feel dependable rather than anxious.
Every single order runs on PayPal G&S — buyer protection is not a configuration choice, it is the platform contract. Sellers connect their PayPal account once during onboarding and receive payouts directly.
Both buyers and sellers carry public ratings and review history. Either side can respond to reviews — trust cues flow both ways, which keeps every transaction accountable.
Automated notifications for purchase confirmations, shipping updates, new offers, accepted/rejected/counter-offered amounts, reservation timers, watchlist changes, and direct messages.
Every active listing shows up in Google Shopping and price-comparison results — title, image, price, availability, and shipping, all kept in sync automatically. Free discovery surface for every seller.
Before you list, the homepage shows the exact buyer cost (item + shipping) and seller payout (item − platform fee − PayPal fee) for any price. No surprise fees the week your payout lands.
Sign in with email + password or Google. Email verification on signup, password reset whenever you need it, and strict access control on every protected action so account data stays private.
Marketplace filters, checkout, Transaction Hub, messaging, inventory editing — each page has a native mobile variant with touch-friendly controls and a drawer-style navigation.
The features you care about — payments, shipping confirmations, ratings — are isolated from secondary systems. A hiccup in a notification or a task list can never break a transaction you paid for.
Developer & Integrations
For sellers running external tooling, Shopify stores, or custom inventory systems — Midnight Merchant has a developer API and event webhooks so your other systems stay in sync.
Generate and revoke API keys with fine-grained permissions. Read your inventory, create listings, update prices, fetch orders — from any external system.
Register URLs to receive real-time payloads when listings are created, offers land, orders are placed or marked shipped. Full delivery history and retry log, per-request status visible in your dashboard.
Listings imported from a connected Shopify store are tagged with their origin and synced in place on updates. One source of truth across both storefronts.
Browse thousands of listings from Australian sellers, or list your own collection in minutes with the bulk-list workflow.
