Usually: ebay and fanatics
Less frequently: cardmarket, vinted
In the past: websites (like T&T), card shows [I don’t like them anymore, too crowded, they have mainly modern]
Once: instagram [I don’t like it]

Where I’ve been buying Pokémon products from on a weekly basis for the past 7.5+ years in order of most to least:
- eBay (eBay.com mostly; but also eBay.co.uk, eBay.com.au, eBay.de, eBay.fr, eBay.it, eBay.es, eBay.ca, eBay.nl, etc.)
- CardMarket
- Mercari/YahooJapan through middleman service Buyee
Where I buy Pokémon products from at least a few times each year (in no particular order):
- FB Marketplaces (four Pokémon and two Yu-Gi-Oh misprint/error groups: Pokémon TCG: Gotta Misprint 'Em All; Pokémon TCG Errors, MIsprints & Other Oddities Buy/Sell/Trade; Pokémon TCG Misprints & Errors; Error/Misprint Pokémon; Yugioh Misprint Collectors; Yugioh Misprints)
- Let my Asian-located middleman friend buy for me (no idea where he buys from)
Where I’ve bought Pokémon products from at least three times in the past (again in no particular order)
- TCGPlayer (English)
- TrollAndToad (English)
- Marktplaats.nl (Dutch)
- Frikea.es (Spanish)
- LPPCollecting.it (Italian)
- MercadoLivre.com.br (Portuguese)
- TCGBox.co.kr through middleman service Harum.io (Korean)
- GlobalBunjang through middleman service Delivered (Korean)
- BeehiveTCG through middleman service SuperBuy (Traditional Chinese)
- Wallapop (Spanish)
- TodoColeccion (Spanish)
- Vinted (French/Spanish)
- OjamaCard (Thai)
- Amazon (English)
- Other middlemen which I’ve lost contact with (in Brazil; South Korea; Russia; Germany; Italy; Australia; Japan; Indonesia; Thailand; France; etc.)
- Instagram / reddit / FB Messenger / Discord / YouTube
- I’ve also used FromJapan and Noppin as Japanese middleman services for Mercari/YJ before I started using Buyee
Less than three times (I think once each, or maybe twice 
I know I’ve bid more than once, but most of the time I’ve lost the auctions):
- Heritage Auctions
- PWCC Marketplace (known as Fanatics Collect these days)
I’m probably forgetting websites I haven’t used in years, but I think these are most if not all of them.
Greetz,

I’d recommend to anyone who hasn’t tried to visit any card shows that happen to be in your city.
Yea, there can be some scummy sellers but you can look up prices on the spot so you don’t get swindled. And being able to see the cards in person so you can be fully confident you’re happy with the card and its condition is the best aspect of card shows. Plus, I’ve found some decent deals, expensive cards below market price. And when you include no tax or shipping, it ends up being significantly cheaper than online. And you can usually haggle for a lower price, especially if you have cash.
Not to mention the ability to trade your unwanted cards for cards you want or just cash (again, avoid getting swindled by the scummy stalls though).
