Inventory to export

Create your first TCGplayer Update CSV

A first TCGplayer listing action should not start in a blank spreadsheet. SpellBook starts with owned physical stock, separates sellable copies from reserved or listed copies, then sends only the rows you accept into a TCGplayer Update CSV. After TCGplayer accepts the file, SpellBook stays the warehouse and accounting layer.

  1. Step 1

    Bring the cards into SpellBook inventory

    Start with physical cards you actually own. Use Scan for new cards and bins, or Upload TCG Inventory when you already have a Seller Portal export that needs to become SpellBook's baseline.

    Open Inventory
  2. Step 2

    Review what is sellable now

    On Inventory, read the status labels before listing. Sellable now means the copy is owned and available. Reserved means a pull session is already holding it. Listed means a marketplace channel already has it live.

    Review inventory statuses
  3. Step 3

    Generate the Update CSV

    Open List on TCGplayer. SpellBook classifies add, update, drift, and unmanaged rows against your current TCGplayer listing state. Accept the rows you trust, download the Update CSV, then upload that file in TCGplayer Seller Portal.

  4. Step 4

    After upload, keep SpellBook as source of truth

    The export does not mean the copy left stock. It means TCGplayer can sell it. When a sale happens, upload Pull Sheet and Order List CSVs so SpellBook records the sold copy, proceeds, buyer, fees, and cost basis.
