TCG Mark listings include a visibility setting: Public or Friends Only. That visibility affects whether a listing appears in public marketplace surfaces.
What public visibility means
Public listings are the listings the marketplace is built around. They are used for:
Public marketplace availability
Public search results
Public seller profile listing views
Card availability lookups
The public marketplace expects listings to be both Active and Public.
What friends-only visibility means
Listings with Friends Only visibility are excluded from public marketplace queries. They are not part of the standard public browsing and search path.
What the current seller flow exposes
The current listing creation flows all create new listings as Public by default. This includes:
Standard sale listing creation
Trade listing creation
Inventory import flows
While the platform supports both visibility values internally, the current user-facing listing tools default to Public.
What this means for sellers today
If you are creating listings through the current standard flow, expect them to behave as public marketplace listings. The key rule is: public marketplace surfaces only use active public listings.
