Packages and pricing for South African TCG trading.

Packages, seller lanes, and fee rows on this page are read from the same commercial controls used by the platform. Public copy is sanitized for visibility, so admin-only notes, account overrides, and internal audit data stay private. Seller type sets fee policy and the signup package assignment; admins can adjust account entitlements after review.

CardTrade Network is marketplace infrastructure. Fees do not turn the platform into an insurer, courier, buyer, or seller.

Account Packages

Package names, descriptions, public price labels, signup defaults, and feature inclusions come from admin feature-package controls. Signup assigns a package from the selected business type, so users are not asked to choose a commercial package before review.
