Open the review screen
From Batches, click any batch to open its review screen. The four-step bar at the top — Capture, Batch review, Edit card, Submit to eBay — shows where you are in the flow. Review is step 2.
Each row is one card, showing its photo, the AI-read identity, the auto-generated eBay title, your cost, a suggested price, and the estimated net.
A card CardZen is still building from a front and back you just paired shows as a read-only "Reading card…" row — you can't edit or select it yet. It turns into a normal review row on its own the moment both sides finish, with no reload; the rest of the batch stays fully editable while it catches up.
Read the summary bar
The bar across the top tells you what still needs your attention before these cards can be listed:
- Ready — cards with no missing fields, ready to list. When cards are held back only by a price, a condition, a photo crop, or an imported eBay stock photo, the count for each sits under Ready.
- Needs review — cards with low-confidence fields CardSense wasn't sure about.
- Missing — cards missing a photo or a condition.
- Listed — cards already live on eBay.
- Scan failed — cards whose scan gave up for good. These are their own group so they don't sit in Needs review looking like ordinary typing work; retake or rescan them.
- Est. revenue — total at the suggested prices.
- Est. net — what you'd keep after eBay fees and cost basis.
Jump straight to the cards a count refers to
Every count in the summary bar is also a filter. Choose Show only beneath any of them — including the price, condition, and crop counts under Ready — to narrow the list to just those cards. Choose it again to go back to the full batch.
Check each card
- Front and back photos are clear and show the right card.
- Player, year, set, card number, sport, and team are correct.
- Parallel, insert, serial number, and the Rookie, Autograph, and Memorabilia flags are right.
- The auto-title reads the way you'd want it to on eBay.
Fix details on a card
- 1Click a card row (or press Enter) to open the Edit card screen.
- 2Correct any wrong fields under Card — player, year, set, card number, sport, team, parallel, insert, and the Rookie/Autograph/Memorabilia checkboxes.
- 3As you type in a supported field, choose from CardZen's eBay reference suggestions. You can still enter a value that is not in the list.
- 4Pick a value from the Condition dropdown — condition is required before a card can be listed.
- 5Adjust the auto-generated Title or Description if you want to; both carry an AUTO badge until you edit them.
- 6Use the ← 1 of N → pager (or J and K) to move to the next card without leaving the editor.
Get comp-based prices
Choose Get prices at the bottom of the review list to pull recent eBay comps for the cards that need them. Each card then shows a suggested price with a comp count and a confidence label (for example "217 comps · high"), plus the net you'd keep after fees and cost.
Cards with no comps show a suggested price of $0.00 — set a price yourself on those before listing. On the card editor, the Your pricing panel has a "Match suggested" shortcut to accept the comp price.
When recent sold prices can't be reached, CardZen says "Sold sales data is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." Active listing comps still load, so you can price from those or set a price yourself.
Work faster with the keyboard
- Enter — open the highlighted card.
- J and K — move down and up the list.
- X — select a card; selecting several lets you apply a shared change at once.
- Use Bulk edit when a group of cards shares a field such as sport, year, or set — check the selection first so you don't change the wrong cards.
- Choose Tag to add or remove your own labels across every selected card. The optional Tags column keeps those labels visible while you review.
Get cards ready
A card is Ready once it has photos, a condition, and a price. If its front photo came from the purchased eBay listing, retake the front before it can become Ready; Mark Ready cannot override this requirement. As you fix cards, the Ready count climbs and the Missing count drops.
When you're done you have two choices at the bottom of the screen: Finish later to head back to your batches, or List ready cards to send them straight to eBay. Your progress is saved automatically, so you can leave and pick the batch up anytime.
Ready isn't the same as listed
Marking a batch Done moves its cards into your inventory (Ready to list). Listing to eBay is a separate step you take when you're ready to publish — see Complete a batch and List cards for sale.
