How to Sell Your Action Figures Online: A Collector’s Step-by-Step Guide

Whether you’re clearing shelf space or funding your next grail piece, selling action figures online can be profitable — if you do it right. From where to list to how to price and ship, here’s your go-to guide for turning collectibles into cash.

🛒 1. Choose the Right Platform

Different sites work better for different types of figures.
Tip:
eBay: Best for rare, vintage, or high-demand items
Mercari: Quick sales for common figures
WhatNot: Great for live selling and bulk lots
Shopify: Best for building your own branded store (like PopFixx Toyz!)

💰 2. Research Sold Prices, Not Listings

List prices mean nothing if they don’t sell.
Tip: Use eBay’s “sold listings” filter to see what your exact figure has sold for recently.

📸 3. Take Great Photos

Buyers need to see what they’re getting.
Tip: Use natural light, plain backgrounds, and shoot front, back, and close-ups of accessories or damage.

✍️ 4. Write Honest Descriptions

Transparency builds trust and avoids returns.
Tip: Include year, condition, articulation, if it’s loose or sealed, and any flaws.

📦 5. Pack Carefully and Ship Fast

Carded figures need extra care to avoid damage in transit.
Tip: Always use a box with bubble wrap — avoid envelopes unless the figure is loose and low-value.

💬 Bonus Tip: Be Ready to Negotiate

Many buyers will send offers — and that’s okay.
Tip: Price slightly higher than your bottom line so you can accept reasonable deals.
