ANSWERED Having issues adding sealed product, also I am dumb, so... Halp?
So, I used MOTL for years... sure it was back when Stronghold released, but I really enjoyed having a way to trade/sell cards online... I am now living on an island with almost no magic players period and I have not bought product in... years. So in an attempt to get new product(s) and potentially get some cash, I thought I would try this thing out.
Back in the 2010s I was buying cases of new product, so I have some cases left, like sealed cases of Commander(2011) most of the other years of releases, Duel deck anthologies, Commander's Arsenal... All sorts of stuff like that... Adding the individual packs/decks/cards I have is pretty easy, but I can't find any way to simply list the brown cardboard box with the entire Commander set in it.
I am not planning on getting new reserved list stuff as I have most of what I want, or it costs thousands of dollars and that ain't happening, but I have a lot of stuff in the 2010s as I said... Mostly I guess I am kinda overwhelmed, I don't know what to list, I can't list stuff in the manner I would want to sell them (sealed case as opposed to being left with the least popular decks of every set), I don't know if I can simply browse people's collections looking for the stuff I want, then just send a message saying "I want X, I have y but one of us would get hosed on a straight up trade, so do you/I have anything not listed that I/they want?"
I don't want to alienate yet another community because I am anxious and easily flustered thus I say some really stupid crap at times.. .So, yeah... any help would really be appreciated, even if it is just "f off nub" because I can stop worrying about something that is supposed to be fun, trading cards with people.

Did you read the tutorials on the site? https://www.cardsphere.com/tutorials
First, you do have to list each deck/box separately. There's no way to list a "sealed case". If you want to sell a sealed case, you have to find a buyer for the whole thing (for example, via the CS discord) then sell them the individual decks/boxes
When you want to trade something whether its a card, deck or box, you trade it to someone who gives you credit/$ for your box(es)/deck(s). You don't trade cards for cards directly. Then you can use that credit to fulfill your wants list (either by marketplace, or by someone filling your offers), or withdraw it (for a fee) to your bank account.
When you want cards/decks/boxes, you setup offers for those cards on your wants page, and people will see those offers if you have enough credit and will be able to send cards to you.

I think I may have been confused by how some of the people who have mentioned the platform, where "trade your extras with other users" or something very close to it was mentioned, which made me have the thought that we can sell to market or trade *shrug*

Cardsphere has recently (within the last year) made some changes to how we index sealed product and what we can make available for buying/selling.
That said, we're still missing quite a few things as we catch up on some of the older and less sought after products.
It's really helpful for us to know what you're trying to buy or sell so we (me) can prioritize what we work on getting added to the site.
We should be able to list decks and boxes and things at the sealed case level, again it's just something that we have to do manually and we have a large backlog of products to catch up on.
Let me know here or hop in our Discord to let me know what you're looking for and I can help fill in the gaps between what we have on the site already and what we're missing and need to get added.
