I have an update here in case anyone else was thinking of giving the eBay vault a try as I did. I bought a modern shiny card explicitly to see if using the vault and flipping might be profitable, at least under the current structure. It turns out the title field a) automatically populates, b) is uneditable, c) leaves out important search terms, and d) is factually inaccurate (wrong grading company). Furthermore, the photos cut off the edges of the slab so any interested buyers who did manage to find the card wouldn't even have the reassurance that the slab hasn't been tampered with. So now I can either run a poorly titled (fraudulently titled actually) and poorly photographed auction or I can pay hundreds of dollars that I was allegedly saving through the vault to have the card shipped to me so I can list it correctly.
0/10. Do not recommend.
