How do you guys feel about this? Not sure it is good for sellers. I buy from specific shops because they are close and can ship quickly to me at competitive prices. Do they lose the ability to do so?
I like the reduced shipping fees as well. Anything I order online is not something I am looking to get quickly. I don't mind paying a little more at a local game shop to get a card in hand quickly but when I shop online I like to find the best deals, and lowered shipping costs will help encourage me to buy.

I'm curious to see how well it works. It sounds like a pilot program, and if it doesn't do well, TCG can always revert.

As a tcg seller I have to say I am super pumped about this program. Reducing my amount of shipments AND handling any issues is going to be such a boon to me if it works out. My fingers are crossed on this one!!

It sounds a lot like Amazon to me, many orders are fulfilled by Amazon and originate from a different seller.
I am still quite skeptical of this process though... Would it slow down how fast we receive cards? How do we dispute card conditions if the card belongs to someone other than the customer service we are dealing with?
If it works, it will be great. If it doesn't, the market will have a hole for a new site similar to TCG...
