Getting Started
Connect your eBay account and import active listings, configure automation settings, optionally prepare new listings through Intake, then publish, schedule, and monitor your workflow.
Connect eBay and import your active listings
CardStride Studio's in-app Quick Start walks you through setup in just a few steps. Connect eBay and import a small test batch of active listings.
CardStride never sees or stores your eBay password. Imports are read-only, do not use credits, and do not change anything on eBay. You can start small, then bring in more of your store when you are ready.
Quick Start gives first-time users a guided checklist inside Settings & Support.
Connect eBay and select your eBay Business Policies.
Users with large eBay stores can import a small number of active listings first, then bring in the rest of their store when they are ready. Nothing changes on eBay until you explicitly publish, relist, or update.
Configure automation settings
Set your listing hours, pacing, price-drop rules, floor prices, and Autopilot preferences before you publish or schedule work. You can keep everything manual at first, then turn on Autopilot when you are comfortable.
Your Listing Timing settings control active listing hours, pacing, and when scheduled work can run.
Your Pricing Strategy sets your default Buy It Now price-drop timing, amount ($ or %), floors, and preferred Autopilot behavior.
Create and review new listings
OptionalUse Intake when you want CardStride Studio to create new eBay listings from photos or scans. If you already have a listing workflow you like, you can skip this step and still manage imported listings, scheduled relists, price drops, and Autopilot. Choose For Sale for new listings, or Personal Collection to edit card images without creating new listings.
Split Scans is an optional tool you can use to separate flatbed scan images into individual front and back images. CardStride Studio auto-pairs front and back images, then rotates, crops, and deskews your images before turning them into square images for eBay with the background effect of your choice.
Optionally use AI Identify to help fill in card details. Review and confirm listing details — comps, pricing, shipping, title and description, and defaults — before publishing.
Split grouped flatbed scans into individual front and back images in just a few clicks.
To create new eBay listings, choose the main front and back images for each listing one at a time or in batches.
CardStride Studio automatically rotates, crops, and deskews your card images. Make any manual edits, choose a background style, and optionally generate corner closeup images.
AI Identify suggests card details from your images. You confirm required fields before publishing.
Check comps, set a Buy It Now price or auction starting bid, and review the auto-generated title, description, packaging, and shipping defaults before publishing.
Add optional detail photos or corner closeups, then review or reorder before you publish.
Publish, schedule, and monitor
Publish new listings when you are ready, or schedule work for later. Scheduled Actions shows what will run and when. Completed Actions keeps a clear record of what happened.
Nothing goes live until you approve it. Scheduled new listings, relists, and price drops are visible on your timeline. Completed Actions shows success or failure and the related eBay listing.
Review pending new listings and publish to eBay when you are ready.
Scheduled Actions shows what will run and when — new listings, relists, and price drops on your schedule.
Completed Actions keeps a clear record of outcomes — success, failure, and the eBay listing involved.
