Can someone help me with selling 300+ Pokemon cards?
Hello. I recently acquired 300+ Pokemon cards and I started looking up their value but it was taking more time than my schedule could allow. If someone could point me in the right direction as to where and how I should sell them, without getting ripped off, I would greatly appreciate it.
Please and thank you.

Without knowing what you've got, it's hard to say for certain. I've seen lots of people using/recommending WhatNot for auctioning off cards and other collectables. Selling singles isn't as easy anymore, as most of them aren't worth much, just a few cents each. But for any singles that are worth selling individually, WhatNot seems to be a solid marketplace for it. It is designed for live auctions, so if your schedule is tight you may not find it the most accessible.
You may want to look into selling on a site like TCGPlayer or even eBay if live auctions on WhatNot are not viable for you. TCGPlayer is also a decent place to reference the value of your cards if you can make a reasonable estimate of the condition they're in.

You could see if you have any LGSs in your area that buy and sell Pokémon singles, if you are not aware of them already. At least you are dealing with a real person, and you can always negotiate or reject their offer if it does not seem fair to you.
Bear in mind that an LGS is unlikely to give you the same prices you see for listings on ebay, TCGPlayer, etc., but you are paying for them to the job of cataloging, valuing and reselling the cards for you, and they need to make a profit to support their business.
You either pay with the time taken to price, sell and ship the cards to individual buyers, and all the risk that involves, or you lose some of the value and let a store do all the work and take all the risk.
Do not be one of those people who goes into their LGS expecting to be paid TCGPlayer High prices for every card. It's not a complementary service or a charity.

Local Game Store. Shops that sell supplies and run in-store events for tabletop gaming, though many specialise exclusively in trading cards these days.
Sometimes called a Friendly Local Game Store, or FLGS.
It has been suggested that there is an alternative reading for the 'F', but that is purely speculative.
If you look for events for the Pokémon TCG, you will probably find some LGSs that buy and sell Pokémon cards.
