Say goodbye to complex "cash-plus-cards" negotiations. Our system automatically categorises cards into 4 distinct Value Classes using real-time Scryfall data. Our listing system is detailed, ensuring every swap is apples-for-apples and 100% fair.
Stop hunting and start matching. Add your "Most Wanted" cards to your Radar, and get notified the moment a matching card enters the community library. You can initiate the trade to be accepted within 48 hours. Easy-peasy.
Keep 100% of your card's value. Instead of losing 15% to marketplace commissions, pay a flat R20 micro-transaction fee per successful swap. Even swap sets under the same transaction fee. It’s the most cost-effective way to refresh your deck in South Africa.
We’ll take care of the shipping logistics of your cards, so you can focus on trading. Once a swap is confirmed, we generate your shipping labels automatically via our local courier partners. Track your trades from your doorstep to theirs directly within your dashboard.
Visualise your mana curve, colour distribution, and deck synergy before you trade. Our built-in tools help you identify exactly which "Class" of card you need to complete your next competitive build, and possible matches to compliment your deck build-out.
Our Radar tracks and prioritises cards in your area.
Users can choose from several swop options - local meetup, door-to-door and locker courier options.
Small Fee, Massive Value.For every successful trade, we charge a flat R20 micro-transaction fee. Whether you’re swapping a R100 staple or a R5,000 masterpiece, the fee never changes.
We don't take a percentage of your card's value. You trade "apples-for-apples," and the R20 helps us facilitate the logistics and support.
Safe, Tracked, Reliable.
To ensure every card arrives in the condition promised, all swaps are handled by our trusted partners. Shipping is paid at the time of the swap. We generate the labels and provide them via email. You simply have to pack your card. (Drop-Off Required for PAXI & PUDO options.)

Stop paying the "Commission Tax." On traditional auction sites or marketplaces, you typically lose 15% of your card’s value to success fees and cash-out charges. Let’s look at the numbers:
Swap 5 mid - tier cards, valued at R1 000 each in a year:
Marketplace Fees (15%) - You lose R750 via commissions
MTG TradePost Fees: You pay only R499 (Membership + 5 Swops)
Once you perform your 4th or 5th mid-tier trade, your membership has officially paid for itself. Every swap after that is pure profit compared to selling and re-buying. Keep your collection’s value where it belongs: in your deck.
Like most players, my collection started in shoe boxes and binders. But as the game grew, I realised something frustrating: it was becoming harder and harder to actually play with the cards I wanted. Between 15% marketplace fees and the 'store credit' trap,I was losing value every time I tried to refresh my deck. I didn't want a store; I wanted a way for players to help each other. So, I built MTG Tradepost—a private circle where the value stays with the players, not the middleman.
We believe that Magic is at its best when the community is active. Our mission is to eliminate the 'financial friction' of deck building. By charging a flat, transparent membership fee and a tiny R20 per swap, we ensure that a R1,000 card stays a R1,000 card. We aren't here to flip cards for profit; we're here to make sure your next 'Secret Tech' is only a swap away.
MTG Tradepost isn't a massive corporation. It’s a dedicated side project run by a local South African player who loves the 'Gathering' part of the game as much as the cards. When you join, you aren't just a user; you’re part of a vetted community of brewers, collectors, and competitors who value fairness as much as a Turn-1 Sol Ring.
At MTG Tradepost, our community is our greatest strength.
Just like a powerful Enchantment, your feedback helps us grow and improve our website and services.
As a bonus, the more players we can bring on board, the wider your range of possible trades!
