Best place to sell cards that's not Ebay.

Looking to liquidate most of my cards not in decks. I have 3 leatherette ultra pro binders full. I am happy with the decks I have and would keep probably 1 binder worth of trade stuffs. Any ideas on where to sell? I am very familiar with selling on ebay but its too time consuming-usually gets the best $$ though.
I would definitely try TCGplayer. Ebay is fine and all if you don't mind waiting and get past the getting hit with paypal/ebay taking a chunk of the sale once it's complete, and ebay taking another chunk at the beginning of the next month.

How does it work on tcg Epochalyptik? Same to you about deckbox VampireArmy
I kinda just want to select everything I dont want and be rid of it in one go while getting some cash/credit for a deck(s) I want to finish.

For deckbox, you set up a profile, and link a paypal account to it. You can trade there too but i think there's a 10$ buy in to be a seller

You're probably going to have to be very patient with either of those options. If you want to unload a "collection" - like you say, 3 binders full, all at once you should try craigslist. TCG and Deckbox neither one works that way, you only sell singles and that means only the good ones. If you want to get something for your bulk you need to bundle the whole thing together and expect to take a hit on the bottom line so the next guy has a reason to break it up into singles and sell it. That means he has to have some profit margin. I've seen some blind auctions go for a lot on eBay, but usually those people say things like "lots of unsorted beta and revised including dual lands" which gets a lot of attention for obvious reasons.
TCG also has seller tiers and in the beginning you can only list 10 cards at a time, and they'll probably only sell if they're tied for the lowest price listed. It takes a while to get moved up the tiers to where you'll be able to list a lot of cards. And beware of buyers who will falsely accuse you of poor shipping practices so you refund their money. Early on your feedback is crucial and lots of unscrupulous people out there know it. I got burnt buy a guy like this who made up a total lie about how I shipped my cards and left bad feedback, then removed it once I refunded him. Thankfully it was only about a $5 loss but still, you should be careful at first what you list.

As actiontech said, self-listing sites like eBay or craigslist are the best options if you're looking to dump a collection (I'd also be willing to take a look).
TCG has a tiered system for sellers. You start off with a pretty reasonable basic package, and you progress to higher and higher levels. Each level allows you to list more total cards and have higher list prices per card. You can link your PayPal account.

When I get it all sorted out with what I'm trying to sell and what I'm keeping, would you like an email Epochalyptik?

Collections sell on deck box fairly often it's all.about finding a buyer and how secure they are

Fb groups are also an option esp for higher end things or lots, also I buy bulk rares, and you can get fairly decent deals by buylisting for cash or trade credit, I got $10.40 trade pe abrupt decay, when after fees and shippig id be getting under $10 anyway, so I can get my show an tellsd
