I think he was asking about shipping cost as a BUYER. Contact the seller beforehand thru the messaging system (good luck getting a reply), and give them your zip code so they can figure the shipping costs. If they're too high you can just pass or maybe negotiate. It won't impact your rating here. If you don't get your item and you paid by credit card with paypal or directly, you file for a refund with them. If you paid by check or money order, you file a fraud claim with the Post Office or your Attorney General's office. That's why there's laws. CPG won't intervene and can do nothing about it except delete the fraudster's membership, which is stated in the first post. Good luck.

How do I know what shipping will be upfront? If the seller asks for an exorbitant shipping price, can I cancel, and will it impact my ratings at all? Also, if I pay and never receive the item, what sort of recourse do I have? Thanks in advance. (PS...I watched the tutorials and see nothing that explains my questions)
Wrap up what you plan to ship in shipping package. Take to Post Office (or UPS). Ask about options for shipping. Ask them to weight and give you a prices for each option. Provide price to buyer.
Shipping packaging and pricing options can be confusing at first - a little research on US Post Office website and questions in person - you will figure it out. This make take a few times of trial and error - but you have to figure out what works. Check what people are shipping for on eBay. This is a clue as to your total cost of shipping for a similar item.
DO NOT!! I repeat DO NOT ship media mail rates. I did that, they ran over the package with a truck, I have pictures of the envelope, the contents were gone and guess what? We're not responsible, it carries no insurance" How do I start a business like that?
Make sure it is insured !

I'd like to start selling some of my comics on here, but I'm not a professional grader and I'm not sure exactly what to put for conditions. The last thing I want is to have unhappy buyers and have to have comics returned because they didn't feel I graded them correctly. Any suggestions?

There is a good grading guide with pictures here. http://artfulinvestments.com/comic-book-grading/ there is also one a Heritage Auctions and other sites - several around. I like this one as it has pictures.

To sell on Comics Price Guide you do need to grade the books yourself. Here is a grading guide
https://comicspriceguide.com/comic-book-grading
We don't really offer a bulk option unless you count the classified ads.

Welcome to the site and the forums!
"Grading" does not just mean sent to a 3rd party and encapsulated. All comics have some sort of grade. Un-encapsulated comics are called "raw". So, when you go to list your comics for sale, your best bet is to take some of the advice from earlier in this thread and learn, at the very least, the rudiments of grading. That way you can give an approximate grade for each of your comics. You'll find most people, if you list a comic at 8.0 and it's actually a 7.0->7.5 won't care too much. The exception to that rule is very high value comics. But for regular issues, just learn how to grade and do your best.

Good Morning all.
Just joined, so thanks for the acceptance, because I too have comics I'm also trying to sell because I'm not a collector.
I have run through some of the questions and answers here, which has given me some insight into what I need to do but I have some other questions too.
I have noticed some sellers list their comics with a grading determination in the listing yet the comic is not encapsulated in plastic with a grading companies name or number. how do they grade their comics?
Is it more enticing to a potential buyer when a listing says "ungraded", so a bulk buy would be cheaper or even negotiable, rather then a bunch of graded comics which would obviously be higher in price? In this scenario, the buyer might hit the jackpot or maybe make nothing above the sale price?

If they are in-demand key comics and the values seem to be a lot higher if they are slabbed then yes, it's worth it if all you want to do is sell them. If it's for you to keep, it's entirely up to you if you want them slabbed or just put them in something safe for display/storage.
Other ways to get an idea of value could be:
1) Got to Mycomicshop (https://www.mycomicshop.com/) and search for the issue, see what they are selling it for.
2) You can go to eBay, search for those issues, and then check the "Sold Items" box near the bottom left column to see what they are selling for on eBay as well.

Comicbookman916, If you are a paying member you can sell here with no other fees. That is the best deal in the comic book world.
Here is a video that will walk you through it.

If you want to sell your entire collection go to this link and Quality comics will make you an offer on what they are interested in.

Blooms,
On the site, you can see raw and graded prices. Let me show you an example of the best practices for whether you should grade or not. Look at Tomb of Dracula 1
https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/tomb-of-dracula/1/pipy
Click on the Values tab.
Notice that the graded price is always higher for this specific book but you need to consider the grading costs as well. For CBCS the grading cost for this book is $40 so everything above a 2.5 is worth grading. On another book the lowest grade that you should send off could be dramatically different.
Look at Tomb of Dracula 60 which has no first appearances or special things about it.
https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/tomb-of-dracula/60/wbxrb
For this book, everything below a 4.0 is the same value with raw or graded. Since it's a newer book the cost of grading is $24 it's not worth grading with anything below a 9.0.
I hope this helps,
Ron

Under the "Marketplace" I see "Market Watch", "Comic Auctions", and "Want List". None of these seem appropriate for posting a notice of comics that I've listed on CPG for sale. Am I missing something?
that post from Shadow is old and out of date. CPG tried a marketplace forum a while back, apparently it was so dead they removed it, so there is no marketplace forum now. You can use the classifieds, https://comicspriceguide.com/classifieds , otherwise if you have a paid membership you just mark your books for sale and hope someone looks them up to buy. I was told once that you can post on the Auction forum for direct sales too, not sure if that's still correct.

I wonder if we could add the sellers nationality up front?
Maybe have every members nationality displayed if they allow it?
Shipping between Canada and the USA can change prices substantially.
Half the battle I have as a Canadian buyer is messaging to find out where sellers are from...and if they will even ship to Canada.
this has been brought up before, and 2 times back in 2020 an admin said: "We have talked about giving sellers the option to specify their location, which would benefit all our members around the world....We will talk about it and see if we can add that to the seller information. Maybe we can give the seller the option as Ebay does. Give us some time on this one. -Ron"
so far nothing has happened, but maybe some day...
