How to use the rip & ship calculator

  1. Set your budget with the slider and pick £, € or $. Prices then come from eBay.co.uk, eBay.de or eBay.com.
  2. See what you can buy. Every box, ETB and bundle you can afford lights up, with how many you could buy and the profit or loss of opening each one.
  3. Check the best pick and the best mix. The scanner shows the single product that makes the most from your budget, and the mix of products that makes the most in total.
  4. Set your own costs under Fees & costs: where you sell, what packs sell for, supplies and postage.
  5. Run a live check on a product before you buy, to see today’s listings on eBay and the cheapest one.

Rip & ship FAQ

What is rip and ship?

Rip and ship is selling sealed Pokémon booster packs one at a time, usually on a live stream on Whatnot, TikTok or eBay Live. Buyers pay for a pack, the seller opens ("rips") it on camera and ships the buyer whatever was inside. Sellers buy booster boxes, Elite Trainer Boxes (ETBs) and booster bundles and make their money if the packs sell for more than the box cost.

Is rip and ship profitable?

Sometimes. It depends on the set: a booster box usually costs less per pack than single packs sell for, but an ETB often costs more, because you are also paying for sleeves, dice and the box. Fees take about 11 to 13% on top, plus supplies. The calculator works this out with today’s eBay prices, so you can see which products make a profit and which are worth more sealed.

How does the rip and ship calculator work?

For 41 booster boxes, ETBs and booster bundles from modern English Pokémon sets, it takes today’s typical eBay Buy It Now price of the product and of one booster pack from the same set. It multiplies the pack price by the packs inside, takes off your selling fees and supplies, and compares that with what the product costs you, including postage. Move the budget slider and it shows what you can afford, the best single pick and the best mix for your money.

Which prices does it use?

Typical (median) Buy It Now prices before postage, checked daily on eBay.co.uk in pounds, eBay.com in dollars and eBay.de in euros, each for buyers in that country. Weighed “heavy” packs, live break spots and damaged boxes are left out. When a site has too few listings, the price is converted from the site with the most at the European Central Bank rate and marked as converted. Live check asks eBay again for one product right away.

How many packs are in an ETB, booster box and booster bundle?

A booster box holds 36 booster packs and a booster bundle holds 6. An Elite Trainer Box held 8 packs until 2023, 10 in most special sets before that, and 9 in Scarlet & Violet sets since. The calculator uses the right number for each product.

Should I rip or keep sealed?

If the packs are worth less than the box after fees, keeping it sealed is usually better: sealed product from out of print sets tends to rise in value as boxes get opened. If the packs are clearly worth more, ripping and selling them can pay, as long as the packs actually sell. The verdicts are Rip it (a return of 10% or more), Borderline, and Keep sealed (a loss over 5%).
