Getting Started
A four-step walkthrough of CardStride Studio — connect eBay and import active listings, or prepare new cards in Intake, review listing details, then publish, schedule, and monitor what runs on eBay.
Connect eBay and import your active listings
Connect eBay securely through OAuth. CardStride never sees or stores your eBay password. Pick or refresh your eBay publishing policies — shipping, payment, return, and merchant location — so CardStride knows what to use when you publish.
Run Import Active Listings to pull your active Buy It Now and Auction listings into Card Library. Reading and syncing active eBay listings does not use credits. Imported listings stay on eBay as-is — import and sync only bring them into CardStride so you can review them, schedule relists and price drops, and see completed action history where supported.
Manage imported listings from Card Library without starting over. Nothing on eBay changes until you explicitly publish, relist, or update a listing.
Connect eBay and choose the policies CardStride should use when publishing.
Import Active Listings brings your current Buy It Now and Auction listings into Card Library so you can manage them without starting over.
- Already selling on eBay? Import active listings into Card Library (Step 1 above).
- Creating new listings? Continue to Intake in Step 2.
Create new listings in Intake
Open Intake to prepare new cards for eBay. Choose For Sale for new listings, or Personal Collection to catalog cards without listing. Start from individual photos or scans — that is the usual path.
Split Scans is optional when you have grouped flatbed scan pairs: use Detect Cards to separate them into individual front and back images, then continue through normal For Sale Intake. CardStride auto-pairs fronts and backs as you move through rotate, crop, deskew, and cleanup.
Split Scans with Detect Cards: grouped flatbed scan in, individual front and back images per card out.
After Split Scans creates individual front and back images, continue through normal For Sale Intake to prepare listings.
Rotate, crop, deskew, and clean up front and back images before you add listing details.
Add details and review listing setup
In For Sale Intake, use AI Identify to help fill card details like player, year, manufacturer, set, number, and eBay-friendly specifics from your images. You review and confirm every field before anything can publish to eBay.
Set pricing, shipping, title and description, listing type and duration, and eBay policies. Add optional additional photos or generated corner closeups when a card needs extra detail — then finish Intake knowing the listing setup matches what you want live.
AI Identify suggests card details from your images. You confirm required fields before publishing.
Set price, shipping, title, description, and listing options aligned with your eBay policies.
Add optional detail photos or corner closeups, then review or reorder before you publish.
Publish, schedule, and monitor
When a listing is ready, publish new listings to eBay from your review queue. Nothing goes live until you approve it — you can reorder, pause, or cancel work you are not ready to run.
Scheduled Actions shows queued new listings, relists, and price drops on the timeline you chose. Completed Actions records what ran, whether it succeeded or failed, and which eBay listing was created or updated so you can retry or follow up when something needs attention.
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.
A few more tools
When a card needs extra care or you want hands-off repricing inside your rules, these options sit alongside the main workflow.
Advanced image editing
Open the advanced editor from Intake when a photo needs finer crop, rotation, or adjustment controls than the standard cleanup step.
Fine-tune crop, rotation, and adjustments when a card needs extra cleanup.
Automation guardrails
Use Listing Timing to set active hours and pacing so scheduled work runs when you want it. Pricing Strategy defines default Buy It Now price-drop rules, floors, and Autopilot guardrails — with per-item overrides and pause or cancel always one click away.
