Cards returning prices.tcgplayer only, no eBay source, /listings empty #1

Description

@CardChase151

Using the API directly rather than the SDK, but this looks like the right place
to raise data coverage. Happy to move it if not.

Some cards return a TCGplayer source and no eBay source at all. On those,
GET /v1/cards/{id}/listings returns {"data":[],"pagination":{"count":0}} for
every country I try (us, eu, gb, and no country param).

The cards are actively traded, so this reads as an eBay match that was never
made rather than cards with no sales history.

Two cards from the same set, same release date (ME: Mega Evolution Promo,
2025-09-26):

GET /v1/cards/019c0010-df7e-75f8-9930-9bdd8c53e140      Riolu 010
  prices keys: ["ebay", "tcgplayer"]
  ebay saleCount 641, listings 20

GET /v1/cards/019d0df7-e5f2-74ca-91bc-77cce532d7b8      Charmander 038
  prices keys: ["tcgplayer"]
  tcgplayer saleCount 7501, listings 0

11 cards found so far, weighted toward promo sets: 6 in ME: Mega Evolution
Promo (037 to 042), 2 in ME05: Pitch Black, 1 in SM Promos, 2 in XY Promos.

Is there a supported way to report a card as missing its eBay source? Right now
a consumer cannot tell "no eBay source yet" apart from "no recent sales", and
those mean very different things to someone valuing a collection.
