Editing and deleting items from My Collection
Here’s how to edit or delete items from your collection:
- Select the item to open the item view page.
- Select the 3 dots button.
- Select the action to Edit item or Delete item.
From the Summary page on desktop, you can also delete items by selecting the checkbox below your card and selecting Delete from collection.
Tip
Items sold from your collection will be automatically archived, whereas items sold from outside your collection will need to be manually archived.
Listing and pricing items in My Collection
To list an item from your collection, simply select the item you’d like to list and select the Create listing button from the item view page.
To help with pricing your listing, on this same page you can also view detailed market data such as:
- Median sold price
- Sales format
- Sold price range
- Number of sellers, listings and sold listings
- Recent listings which have already sold, including their date of sale and sold price
This information is based on the past 90 days of market data, but you can also toggle to the past month and week if needed or view data for an individual day by hovering over the graph.
Pricing is updated on a daily basis and when a new item is added. If you don't see your pricing update, swipe down in the app or refresh the page on desktop. Close out of the app and re-open if pricing is still not refreshing.
Tip
The price we recommend for your card is based on previous sales of the card on eBay. We don't take into account irrelevant or inaccurately described listings and we exclude unpaid items.
After creating your listing, you’ll be able to Preview it, Save for later, or List it. If you Save for later, you can find your listing under Drafts in the Listings section of the Seller Hub.
