For collectors in South Africa
Your card binder, online. Trade and buy with protection.
PokeBinderz is a South African marketplace for Pokémon trading cards. Keep a digital binder of what you own, see what it is worth in rand, swap with other collectors and buy from verified local shops.
Free to join. Trades are free. Starting in Cape Town and Johannesburg.
What it is
One place for your collection, your trades and your local shops
Everything starts from your binder. Once a card is in it, you never type its details again: trading, selling and wishlist alerts all use what you have already added.
Keep a binder
Add the cards you own, raw or graded. See your collection value in rand, how close you are to finishing a set, and which cards you are still missing.
Trade and sell singles
Mark cards as for trade or for sale. We match you with collectors who have what you want and want what you have, and show the value on both sides.
Buy from verified shops
Buy sealed product and singles from South African shops we have checked. Shop offers reach you only when they match a card you want or a set you follow.
How it works
From your first card to a finished trade
Add your cards
Search by name, set or number and add each card with its condition. Your first card takes about two minutes.
Build a wishlist
Tell us which cards you want, how much you want them, and the most you would pay.
Get matched
We show you collectors and shops with the cards on your wishlist, and collectors who want the cards you would part with.
Trade or buy, protected
Agree a swap or pay for a card. Both sides send with tracking, and money is released only when the card has arrived.
What we do
We sit in the middle so nobody has to take a chance
Buying cards from strangers usually means paying first and hoping. We hold the money, check the cards that matter most and step in when something goes wrong.
We hold the payment
Your payment is held until you confirm delivery. If you do nothing, the order completes not set yet after delivery.
We check higher-value cards
Trades and sales above not set yet a side go through our verification hub. Raw cards are inspected and graded certificates are looked up before the card is sent on.
We verify people and shops
Sellers verify their identity before their first payout, and every shop is checked before it can open a storefront. Ratings always show how many trades and sales stand behind them.
We sort out disputes
You have not set yet after delivery to tell us something is wrong. Payment stays held while our support team looks at the photos and decides.
Who it is for
Built for everyone around the binder
Collectors
Track what you own, know what it is worth and find the cards you are missing.
Traders
Make fair swaps with both sides' value in view, with people whose record you can see.
Players
Find specific cards quickly and buy from several sellers in one cart.
Sellers
List a card from your binder in a few taps and get paid without chasing anyone.
Shops
Open a storefront, upload your stock and reach collectors who already want what you sell.
Parents
Give your child a binder and wishlist of their own, and approve every trade and purchase yourself.
Safe for young collectors
Many collectors are under 18, so accounts belong to adults and children collect under a parent's eye.
- A child has a parent-managed profile with their own binder and wishlist.
- Child profiles cannot send or receive direct messages.
- Every trade and purchase waits for an adult to approve it.
- No countdown timers, mystery boxes or pressure to buy.
Fees
You see every fee before you commit
Trades are free. When you sell a card, we take a platform fee of not set yet and pass on the payment processing charge at cost. Before you list, we show exactly what you will receive.
Each side pays for their own tracked shipping, by locker or courier.
