Getting Started with FiveRowBox

The three essential steps to start using FiveRowBox: adding cards, connecting eBay, and publishing your first listing.

Step 1: Add Cards

Photograph cards: Click Add cards, then Photograph cards. Drop or select card photos in pairs (front image, then back image). The app pairs files automatically in sequence and creates inventory records. You can optionally designate a physical storage location (e.g., Box 1, Row 2) before importing.

Type in one card (Single Entry): Open Type in one card to enter details manually (sport/category, player, year, set, card number, condition, asking price, and quantity) and attach photos directly.

Once added, cards appear immediately in your Collection gallery.

Step 2: Connect eBay

Connect your account: Click Connect eBay when prompted, follow Step 2 in Getting started, or navigate to Settings › eBay account. Sign in to authorize FiveRowBox to connect to your eBay seller account.

Permissions: FiveRowBox requests permission only to read and manage your inventory, listings, fulfillment orders, and shipping policies. It cannot access your banking details or personal eBay account settings.

Step 3: Publish Your First Listing

1. Open any card from your Collection to open the card details drawer.

2. Ensure your card has a title, condition, and asking price.

3. Click List on eBay at the bottom of the drawer.

4. Select your eBay category, condition, and duration (Good 'Til Cancelled) in the publish dialog that opens. Shipping and return policies are applied automatically from your defaults configured in Settings.

5. Click Publish live listing. FiveRowBox uploads images, creates the listing on eBay, and links the active listing directly to your local card.
