How does Aeethod integrate with TCGplayer Pro and eBay APIs?

We build direct authorized API integrations using official seller APIs. When a sale occurs on your website, our system sends instantaneous inventory decrement and delist requests to TCGplayer and eBay.

Can we set different prices on eBay vs. our own website?

Yes. Our pricing engine lets you mark up eBay and TCGplayer prices (e.g., +13%) to offset their commission fees while offering the lowest competitive prices directly on your own website.

INTEGRATION · MULTI-CHANNEL SYNC

TCG Marketplace Integration

Real-time multi-channel inventory synchronization connecting your custom storefront, TCGplayer Pro, eBay, Cardmarket, and in-store POS.

How Does TCG Marketplace Integration Work?

TCG Marketplace Integration connects your independent store catalog directly to major third-party platforms including TCGplayer, eBay, Cardmarket, and ManaPool via real-time webhooks. When an item sells on any channel—online or in-store—our event pipeline automatically decrements or delists the matching card across all other platforms in under 2 seconds, eliminating double-selling while maximizing exposure.

Key Decision Signals:

✓ Selling on both TCGplayer and an independent storefront
✓ Experiencing double-sales due to 15-to-45-minute sync delays
✓ Needing differential channel pricing (e.g. +12% markup on eBay to offset fees)
✓ Managing multiple fulfillment queues across fragmented seller tabs

SYSTEM BLUEPRINT

Technical Architecture Breakdown

1. Overcoming the Limitations of Third-Party Sync Tools

Most card shops rely on third-party SaaS middleware to sync TCGplayer with Shopify. These apps typically poll marketplace APIs on batch intervals (every 15 to 45 minutes). During high-velocity events—such as new set releases or tournament coverage spikes—a popular card can be purchased simultaneously on multiple platforms before the sync tool even runs.

Aeethod builds direct webhook pipelines that react instantaneously to checkout events, firing immediate delist orders to external marketplaces within milliseconds.

2. Strategic Differential Pricing

Why sell a card on your website for the exact same price as on TCGplayer when TCGplayer takes a 12.75% + processing fee cut? Our integration engine allows you to set automated channel pricing rules.

List a card for $100 on your custom website (saving money for loyal collectors), while our integration automatically lists it at $114.99 on TCGplayer and eBay to preserve your net margin after fees.
