Listing integrity report
Rebuilt from the live database several times a day; a daily snapshot builds the history below. Figures are row counts; the recorded reason for each withheld listing is grouped by its family.
As of 25 September 2026 at 06:51 UTC, Pokemon Deal Finder shows 1,093 live eBay Pokemon card listings and withholds 27 active listings that failed a check. In the last 24 hours 854 listings were seen again in eBay search results and 0 stopped being shown because they ended, sold or were not re-seen; that is a refresh count, not a per-listing availability re-check. Listings come from 6 eBay marketplaces (US, UK, Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy).

Why active listings are withheld
Each withheld listing carries the reason the check recorded. A withheld listing is still tracked — if a later check clears it (for example eBay confirms an early listing), it can be shown again.
| Reason family | Listings |
|---|---|
| Wording or images that indicate a replica, proxy or altered card | 13 |
| Other checks | 11 |
| Seller-stated condition could not be verified, or the card is played / damaged / altered | 2 |
| No trustworthy market reference for this exact printing and condition | 1 |

The checks every shown listing has passed
- The listing title is matched to one exact catalogue printing - name, set, collector number, card form (Mega, ex/EX/GX, and similar) and language all have to agree, or the listing is left off.
- The asking price (item plus shipping) is compared against a recent-sold market reference for that card and condition. Raw and graded cards use separate references.
- Listings that look like the wrong card, the wrong printing, a proxy, a reproduction, or something that isn't a single card (empty wrappers, sealed product, merchandise) are excluded.
- Selected higher-risk listings get an extra image check that compares the listing photo with the card's expected official printing; clear physical fakes and wrong-printing photos are hidden.
- Listings that end, sell, or go too long without being re-seen in an eBay scan stop being shown as live deals.
These checks reduce risk; they do not make any listing “verified authentic”. The listing's photos, the seller's history and eBay's Money Back Guarantee remain the buyer's own checks. Full detail is on the methodology page. Figures on this page may be quoted with attribution (CC BY 4.0).
