Edit card details

The card editor

Open a card from the Cards page to go straight to its full editor. Front, Back, and eBay-ready photos sit beside identity, condition, pricing, listing settings, tags, and linked purchase cost.

A Stock photo label means the image came from the eBay listing you bought, not from your own camera. Use Retake front photo before listing that card — eBay listings need your own photos of the card you actually received.

Changes save automatically as you work. Choose Edit tags to add or remove labels without changing the card's listing or inventory stage.

Choose List now to prepare this card for eBay, or Delete to permanently remove an eligible card. Cards with a live eBay listing must have that listing ended before they can be deleted.

Fields you can change

The card editor lets you change:

• Identification: player, year, set, card number, sport, and team. The year field accepts two-year season formats like 2024-25, used by hockey and basketball sets.
• Card attributes: parallel, insert, manufacturer, serial number, and the Rookie, Autograph, and Memorabilia flags.
• Condition, from the Condition dropdown.
• Photos and their order (Front, Back, the auto-cropped eBay image, and up to 20 extra photos).
• Pricing, quantity, Best Offer settings, and the eBay listing title and description.

Add extra listing photos

Buyers often want a closer look at a serial number, an autograph, or a flaw you want to disclose. The Extra photos row under the card’s main photos lets you add up to 20 of your own photos to the eBay listing, shown after the Front, Back, and eBay-ready images.

Choose Add to upload one or more photos, drag a photo to change its order, and use the × on a photo to remove it. The order you set here is the order buyers see on eBay.

If the card is already live on eBay, adding, reordering, or removing an extra photo shows up as a photo change in the listing bar — push the update from CardZen and the listing’s full photo set is refreshed. This also works when eBay’s own editor refuses to add photos to the listing.

Extra photos don’t replace your own front and back photos: a card with a Stock photo label still needs a fresh front photo before it can be listed.

Edit a card

1. 1Open the card from Cards. Cards still in review open in their batch so you keep the review order and status.
2. 2Start typing in a supported field and choose an eBay reference suggestion, or keep your own value if it is not in the list.
3. 3Update the fields you need to change.
4. 4Wait for the Auto-saved status before leaving. Your edits become the trusted record and override what CardSense read.
5. 5If you changed the card's identity, re-check its linked purchase, sale, and listing.

Your typed text stays put

Title, Description, and SKU keep exactly what you type while you're in the field. An autosave on another field, a comp refresh, or a photo rescan can't overwrite it, and spacing is tidied once when you move off the field instead of on every keystroke.

Clear a field and leave it empty to hand it back to the template: the box stays empty while you retype, and an empty field on save lets the auto-generated text take over again — the same result as the Use template button.

Editing a card that's live on eBay

A card with a live listing opens with a bar across the top of the editor. It says the card is on eBay, and once CardZen has synced the listing it also names what no longer matches — title, price, condition, description, or photos.

Your edits are saved to the card straight away; the listing is only changed when you choose Send to eBay from that bar. Nothing you type reaches buyers until you do.

When a photo needs a better crop

If CardZen couldn't find the card's edges in a photo, the Photos panel says so and tells you what to change — usually more contrast between the card and the surface behind it, or a straighter, closer shot. Retake or re-crop from the same panel.

When identity changes matter

Changing player, year, set, card number, or parallel can affect comps, purchase matching, listing titles, and profit data. Re-check connected records after major identity edits.
