Two ways to finish a batch

Finishing review and listing to eBay are separate steps, so you can do them at different times:

  • Mark the batch Done — review is finished and the cards move into your inventory (Ready to list). Nothing is published to eBay yet.
  • List ready cards — publish the cards that are ready straight to eBay from the review screen. This is the Submit to eBay step (step 4).

Before you finish

  • Resolve any cards under Needs review.
  • Set a condition on every card (cards without one can't be listed).
  • Get prices, or set a price by hand on cards with no comps.
  • Retake blurry or cropped photos and remove any accidental captures. Cards labeled Stock photo need a fresh front photo before listing.

Complete a batch

  1. 1Finish reviewing the cards in the batch.
  2. 2On the batch review screen, choose Complete batch.
  3. 3The batch moves to the Done tab and its cards move to your Cards page, where you'll find them under the Inventory filter.
  4. 4Completing is one click; there is no confirmation step. Cards move with whatever storage location they already have, and a card without one simply has none.
  5. 5Want locations? Set them before or after completing: select cards here and choose Bulk edit, do the same later from Cards, or open any card and set its location on its own.

List a batch to eBay

If no cards are ready yet, CardZen sends you back to review with a note that there are no ready cards. Set condition and price, then try again.

Use List selected to prepare only the checked cards. Publish up to 500 cards per run. Your selection stays available when you refresh the submit page or return with Back in the same browser tab.

To publish every ready card in the background, choose List all ready (N) on the review screen. CardZen uses your saved payment, shipping, and return policies; if a complete set is unavailable, it asks you to configure them before starting.

The progress drawer updates as cards finish, and CardZen sends a push notification with the result when the run completes. Cards whose result cannot be confirmed are marked for sync review instead of being sent to eBay again.

When every card has either been listed or moved to inventory, CardZen moves the batch to Done automatically.

  1. 1Get at least one card to Ready (photos, condition, and price).
  2. 2Choose List ready cards at the bottom of the review screen.
  3. 3Confirm your eBay payment, shipping, and return policies on the submit screen.
  4. 4Publish — CardZen queues the ready cards, then lists them in the background.

What happens after

Reviewed cards become inventory you can price, list, and sell from the Cards page. A completed batch is read-only — it stays as an audit trail of how those cards entered CardZen, and edits happen on the cards themselves from then on.
