Singles worth $3 and up

eBay has the largest audience: about 18.8 million Pokémon listings at any time, and buyers who search by card number and set. List with the number, set, rarity and language in the title and item specifics (how to), and raw cards under $20 ship for about a dollar by Standard Envelope.

Graded and high-value cards

eBay is the deepest market for graded Pokémon: PSA is on 78% of newly listed graded card-game cards there, CGC on 14%. The very top end (1st Edition Base Set, trophy cards) also goes through auction houses.
