First listing actions

Get from inventory to the first marketplace result

These tutorials follow the actual routes sellers use after intake: TCGplayer export, eBay and ManaPool listing paths, channel review, sold upload, and reconciliation.

Marketplace tutorial

First TCGplayer Update CSV

Use SpellBook as the inventory source of truth, export accepted rows, then reconcile the first sale back into stock and P&L.

  1. 01

    Confirm physical stock

    Inventory separates owned, reserved, listed, pulled, and sold copies. Use the physical count and reservation locks to decide what enters each marketplace export.

    Review Inventory
  2. 02

    Export the first TCGplayer Update CSV

    List on TCGplayer classifies add, update, drift, and unmanaged rows. Accept the rows you trust, download the Update CSV, and upload it in TCGplayer Seller Portal.

    Open List on TCGplayer
  3. 03

    Close the first marketplace sale

    After TCGplayer sells a card, upload Pull Sheet and Order List CSVs so SpellBook records the sold copy, buyer, fee deduction, proceeds, and cost basis.

    Upload sold orders

Marketplace tutorial

First eBay publish preview

Preview eligible inventory before publishing, then use live listing review and reconciliation after the batch goes out.

  1. 01

    Preview before publishing

    Publish inventory to eBay validates the batch before submit. Review eligible cards, skipped rows, prices, policies, and sample payloads first.

    Open eBay publish
  2. 02

    Inspect active listings

    After publish, My eBay listings shows what stayed live so you can revise prices or end listings without switching to Seller Hub.

    View my eBay listings
  3. 03

    Run reconciliation

    eBay Reconciliation catches phantom, orphan, price-drift, and quantity-drift rows so marketplace state stays aligned with physical inventory.

    Open eBay Reconciliation

Marketplace tutorial

Cross-list without losing stock truth

Treat TCGplayer, eBay, and ManaPool as channels. SpellBook remains the place where physical copies become sellable, reserved, listed, sold, or drifted.

  1. 01

    Read channel state

    Shared physical availability lets enabled channels advertise the same sellable pool. When a sale allocates centrally, sibling channels converge through delist or quantity decrement instead of creating a second source of truth.

    Open Inventory Channels
  2. 02

    Choose the next listing action

    Use List on TCGplayer for an Update CSV, or eBay publish for previewed listing batches. Both start from SpellBook inventory.

    Open List on TCGplayer
  3. 03

    Reconcile after sales or edits

    Use sold upload for TCGplayer sales and eBay Reconciliation for marketplace drift. The goal is one truthful inventory state after every channel change.

    Open Sold upload

Common questions

What do I need to start selling MTG cards?

Three things: a way to track what you own, a way to list it, and a way to ship it. Scan, import, and track inventory free. Every new account includes a free 14-day Seller trial, no credit card required. After the trial, listing, repricing, fulfillment, reconciliation, and seller analytics require Seller at $49/month or $490/year. For shipping you need penny sleeves, top loaders, mailers, and ideally a thermal label printer. The gear list on this page is the exact kit behind 300 5-star marketplace reviews.

How do I ship a single MTG card cheaply?

For cards under about $20, a penny sleeve plus a top loader in a plain brown envelope (eBay Standard Envelope or PWE) is the cheapest safe method. For higher-value cards, step up to a padded bubble mailer with the card secured between cardboard.

Do I need a special printer?

Not required, but a 4x6 thermal label printer is a useful speed unlock once you are shipping more than a few orders a week. It prints shipping labels and QR thank-you cards with no ink.
