List cards for sale

Before you list

• Connect eBay and select your payment, shipping, and return policies (all three are required).
• Confirm the card's identity and photos are correct.
• Confirm whether the card is Raw or Graded. Graded cards need a grader and grade supported by eBay; CardSense leaves unsupported grading text blank instead of guessing.
• Set a condition — a card can't be listed without one.
• Add a cost basis if you want accurate profit reporting.
• Get comp prices so you're pricing against the market.

Where comp prices come from

Suggested prices are built from recent completed eBay sales for the same card — what buyers actually paid, not what sellers are asking.

Accepted Best Offer sales count at their real price, so a card that sold below its asking price pulls the suggestion down the way it should.

Two ways to list

List one card at a time from its editor, or list a whole batch of ready cards at once:

• One card — open the card and choose List now (top right of the editor).
• A batch — from batch review, choose List ready cards to publish every ready card in the batch.

List a single card, step by step

The Needs attention panel flags anything advisory (like a missing condition or a $0 price) but does not block listing.

If eBay may have accepted a listing but CardZen cannot confirm the result, CardZen stops instead of sending the card again. Until it is resolved, batch review on web and mobile reads Unconfirmed with "On eBay, not finished" and tells you to sync. Choose Sync from eBay on the Listings page before retrying; the sync links the listing back to its card when eBay confirms it.

CardZen records the photos and item specifics sent with every new listing, so the card can immediately show whether later edits still match eBay.

Descriptions keep their line breaks and paragraphs when CardZen publishes or revises the listing on eBay.

When you create a listing from batch review or Inventory on the web, the Store category saved on the card is sent to eBay. Choose All cards (default) to clear it; eBay then uses your store's default category.

1. 1Open the card to reach its editor.
2. 2Check the auto-generated Title and Description (each carries an AUTO badge until you edit it) and adjust if needed.
3. 3Pick the Condition.
4. 4Set your price: type an Asking price, or use Match suggested to take the comp price. Each linked listing has quantity 1. The pricing card shows what the selected shipping policy charges the buyer.
5. 5Choose a Format: Buy It Now + Best Offer, Buy It Now, or Auction. With Best Offer on, set auto-accept and confirm the auto-decline threshold inherited from Settings.
6. 6Confirm the eBay Shipping, Returns, Payment, and Store category shown under eBay listings — these come from your defaults.
7. 7Choose List now. CardZen publishes to eBay and the card moves to Listed.

Manage listings on the Listings page

Listings (sidebar, under eBay) shows your live eBay listings, synced from eBay. On desktop, the top bar summarizes Listed value, Offers waiting, Active bids, Watchers, and Views (90d) for your active listings. On a phone, a swipeable summary shows Listed value, Offers waiting, Watchers, and Views (90d). Both follow your tag filter and search, so you can see the totals for just the slice you're looking at.

Listings opens without waiting for eBay. Changes made on eBay show on your next visit, or when you press Sync from eBay.

• Filter by Active, Scheduled, Draft, Ended, Sold, Cancelled, Offers waiting, Auctions, Ending < 24h, Low traffic, or any card tag.
• On a phone, swipe the status choices, then choose Filters for tags and listing signals such as offers waiting or low traffic.
• Listings imported from eBay that are not linked to a CardZen card show the player, set, and card number when CardZen can read them from the listing, instead of the raw eBay title. The full title is always available by hovering the row or opening the listing. Unlinked multi-quantity rows show their quantity in Listings.
• The eBay sync column tells you where every listing stands: how many fields changed since the last push, In sync, Not checked, No card for imports without a CardZen card, and Not live for ended or scheduled listings. Hover a value for what to do next.
• Search by player, set, or eBay item number.
• CardZen automatically moves listings ended or removed directly on eBay out of Active, and linked cards return to inventory when there is no matching sale. Choose Sync from eBay whenever you want to refresh status, prices, and traffic immediately.
• The Active, Scheduled, Ended, and Sold counts use the same eBay status shown on the linked card in Cards.
• Choose Sync from eBay to refresh status, prices, and traffic. Listings ended or removed directly on eBay move out of Active after sync, and linked cards show Ended when there is no matching sale.
• Select active listings without a linked card and choose Create cards to build a linked inventory card for each one in bulk. As with the single-listing action: 1 CardSense scan per card, one card per quantity-1 listing, and no changes on eBay. Multi-quantity listings are skipped with a message and stay unlinked.
• On a phone, open a row's action menu to review an offer, end or reschedule the listing, or open it on eBay.
• Ending a single listing asks whether to keep the card in inventory or delete it. For an unlinked listing with quantity 1, keeping the card creates an inventory card and keeps every listing photo when the copy succeeds. If the copy fails, the card is kept without photos. Delete is for cards you no longer own; a card with sales or other history is kept.
• Import, Export CSV, and bulk repricing are available from the desktop app.
• Cancel a scheduled listing from its row before it publishes. CardZen cancels it on eBay and returns the linked card to inventory.
• Or keep a scheduled listing and change your mind about the timing: Start now publishes it immediately, and Reschedule moves it to a new date — one listing at a time, without cancelling the whole batch.

Schedule listings

Batch listings can be scheduled up to 30 days ahead. CardZen queues the cards in the background and requires enough lead time for the full batch to reach eBay before its first start time.

After every ready card in a batch has been listed or scheduled, CardZen closes the batch automatically.

CardZen validates the listing, account policies, location, authentication, and schedule before using a scan. Times skipped or repeated by a daylight-saving change are rejected so a listing cannot silently start an hour early or late; choose another local time.

A scheduled card reads Scheduled in batch review on web and mobile until the start time eBay returns, then changes to Listed automatically. eBay can take roughly 15 minutes after that time to make the listing visible to buyers, so CardZen may show Listed during that short activation window.

Edit a live listing

Open any synced eBay listing to see its full detail page, then edit it in place and send the changes straight to eBay — no need to leave CardZen.

• Open the photo gallery full-size.
• Edit the title, price, item specifics, description, and Best Offer settings inline. Quantity can be edited only on unlinked listings; a listing linked to a card uses quantity 1.
• Review the payment, shipping, and return policy names and descriptions currently attached to the eBay listing.
• Choose Edit inventory card to open the linked card's editor; the back action returns to the listing.
• When an offer is waiting, it appears at the top of the listing page with Accept, Counter, and Decline. The Best Offer panel compares the offer against your list price and suggested price, projects net, profit, and ROI if you accept, and lets you build a counter with a slider or by typing an exact price, a target profit, or a target ROI. Counters can't go below the offer or above your list price. Profit and ROI need a cost basis, so link the card to a purchase to see them.
• When you accept, decline, or counter an offer in CardZen, other open listing pages update the offer and pending count as soon as the saved response arrives. Returning to a tab or reconnecting checks for missed CardZen responses without polling eBay. Actions taken directly on eBay still depend on eBay sync or reopening the listing.
• Listings on eBay's newer inventory system, including third-party custom labels, can be revised.
• Choose Link card to connect a synced listing to the matching card. Imported cards awaiting photos are included. For an active, single-card listing, CardZen copies its photos onto the same empty card, preserving its purchase and cost. No CardSense scan is used. Existing card photos are kept, and unlinking keeps any photos already copied.
• No matching card yet? Choose Create card from this listing to build a linked inventory card from all the listing's photos and details. Your listing photos stay in order and count as your own photos, with no Stock photo label or retake needed before relisting. It uses 1 CardSense scan and nothing changes on eBay. Only listings with quantity 1 can be linked or converted to a card. Multi-quantity listings stay unlinked.
• Some fields, such as the custom label or condition, can't be changed on inventory-based listings — CardZen tells you when eBay blocks an edit.

When a card no longer matches its listing

Editing a card that's already live on eBay changes the card in CardZen, not the listing buyers see. CardZen watches for that gap and tells you about it in both places.

• Open a listed card and a bar at the top names exactly what differs — title, price, condition, description, or photos.
• Choose Send to eBay from that bar to push the changes to the live listing in one step.
• On the Listings page, an Out of date marker appears on every row whose card has moved on.
• Select those rows and choose Push updates to send them all at once. CardZen reports each listing eBay accepted and each one it refused, so a partial run is never mistaken for a clean one.
• Photos count as a difference too — CardZen records which images it sent, so a re-crop or a retake shows up here instead of going unnoticed.

Export listings to CSV

1. 1The Export CSV button sits at the top of the page with the other actions, and it always says exactly what it will download: your selected listings, or every listing in the current view (status, filters, and search applied) when nothing is selected.
2. 2The Tags column includes tags from the linked card, separated by semicolons. Untagged listings have a blank Tags cell. Your selection is kept when you switch status tabs or filters. If a filter is hiding some of your selected listings, the button says so, and those listings are still included in the file.
3. 3Card ID, Name, Year, Set, Card Number, Insert, Parallel, Numbered, Grader, Grade, and SKU follow the existing columns, using the same formats as the Cards CSV. These cells are blank when no card is linked. Grader and Grade are blank unless the linked card is marked Graded; stored grading details are kept when Graded is off.

Bulk reprice

1. 1On the Listings page, select the listings you want to change. With nothing selected, repricing targets every listing in the current view.
2. 2Choose Bulk reprice in the table toolbar.
3. 3Enter a percentage or fixed-price change.
4. 4Review the preview — CardZen shows the current and new price for each listing.
5. 5Apply. Updates are blocked on any listing whose new price would be zero, invalid, or outside eBay's supported range. Each card linked to a repriced listing takes the new price too.

Bulk end listings

1. 1On the Listings page, select the active listings you want to end and choose End selected.
2. 2Review the confirmation. Ending is not a sale. Linked cards return to your inventory, or tick Also delete the linked cards for cards you no longer own; a card with sales, a scheduled listing or lot membership is always kept. For imported listings with quantity 1 and no linked card, ending them in CardZen creates an inventory card and keeps every listing photo when the copy succeeds. If the copy fails, the card is still kept without photos; upload your photos before relisting. Multi-quantity listings stay unlinked when ended.
3. 3Confirm. CardZen ends the listings one at a time (up to 50 per run) and reports the result for each, so a partial run is never mistaken for a clean one.
4. 4Note that eBay may charge a fee for ending some listings early.

Custom labels (SKU)

If you change a listing's Custom label (SKU) on eBay, press Sync on Listings or Sales to update the linked card's SKU. Cards and CSV exports then use that SKU. Very large stores with over 200 active listings may need more than one Sync. If you saved a different SKU in CardZen since the previous sync, CardZen keeps yours for Update listing.

CardZen enforces unique custom labels for listings. If eBay returns a duplicate custom-label error (409), choose a new label and try again.

Exclude non-card eBay items

Choose Exclude from CardZen on an imported listing, sale, or purchase. Confirm to hide that eBay item and matching imported transactions from your ledgers and financial totals. This does not end the listing or change an eBay order. Existing cards and links remain intact.

The exclusion is remembered by eBay item number, so later syncs and imports carrying that number remain excluded. Records without an eBay item number cannot use this option. A new eBay item number is a different item.

Choose Excluded items on the same ledger, then Restore to include it and its related imported records again. This is separate from sales you previously deleted or rejected, which retain their existing restore workflow.

On mobile, Exclusions (web) opens the authenticated ledger with the same exclude and restore actions.
