I was looking for places to trade cards, MTGsal didn't quite have what I was looking for, and I don't see any point using pucatrade especially when people complain about not receiving cards and terrible support, and with ebay and amazon you still have to worry about shipping costs for singles or small packs of cards. It would be ideal if there was some place I could ship my cards to in bulk and trade for whatever I wanted afterwards, which would be more like buying. Are there any good options out there? Is cardsphere any good?
I think they have these they are called Stores. You can bring or ship ALL your cards to them then they will give you money. With the money you can then purchase whatever cards you like.

They also have this thing called distance, it's quite a hassle with these things called rent, heating, electricity and middle management which decrease the return rate for cards.

Cardsphere is excellent but you will still probably need to send your cards to a variety of people rather than one place. There are people on there who run buylists so you may be able to send everything to one of them if you are willing to take a lower rate. Otherwise draftguy2's suggestion seems perfectly good
Actually I've both seen pucatrade and cardsphere have poor support in my experience, and they don't seem to make any effort provide security. I don't know why these "ideal" sites keep doing well and then spontaneously decide to flop. It would be nice if there was something in-between these options, something local but of a more organized conglomerate that specialized in facilitating local trades. There are facebook groups, but facebook itself is too informal for an actual regulated business, it has plenty of lowballers and speculators. I suppose if local stores simply had a section on their website where locals could post their trade lists, that would do it, otherwise the only thing they are equipped for is buying and selling, which I'm not looking to do, I just want as close to a bulk 1:1 trade as possible.
