Has anyone used the My Collection tool? Although it is not available in Australia, I have been using the ebayUS version and I love it and think it's a pretty handy tool. It has everything plus more than the paid premium apps have like live value, scan and detailed catalogue except it's free. Like totally free. Not only can you keep track of your collection, you can basically organise it how ever you like with custom folders and the ability to save cards in multiple folders example You could have all of your Series and Set folders and then have a Shinys folder so you don't have to look to hard for anything special. You have multiple options for entering or uploading, full manual entry, using the ebay catalogue, Bulk CSV upload and Scan. All of which have there benefits. Manual is good if you want to put particular details in sadly it doesnt seem to then link it with catalogue data like sales and pricing, using the ebay catalogue then references the card to graded and raw pricing, sales history and current listing's definitely has some small issues which shouldn't by any means have to do with lacking data as ebay data is used in every app but some cards come up as not found even though I've had no issues entering them on other apps, bulk is great if you have a heap to enter but you do need to go in later to put in more details and the Scan feature is just so easy but it still has a few kinks and needs some minor improvements. Another great way to add cards that isn't listed in the Add Card Button options is by going to the Manage Collection link and selecting the Add purchases to collections option, if you have this feature on everytime you make a purchase it will automatically be in your collection. It is linked to PSA Vault if you have any graded cards and if you are using some other app it allows you to download your collection (if of course it's an option on your app) it is so simple to upload it without having to make edits. Want to sell it? Click a button and boom its listed. This is for sure the best collection tracking and management system I have used. I need it in my life like yesterday. ebay please release this in Austalia sooner rather than later.

·3 months agoI used to collect Lego and would use Brick link to save all the sets I had. This sounds similar and the thing that worried me was if I stopped using the site I did not have any other reference for what I had. Does sound like a good feature for card collectors.

OP3 months agoYeah I thought that might be an issue but then I saw the option to download collection. It can be downloaded in to a CSV file. One of the other apps I was using also had the download feature and the download actually included hyperlinks to any photos of the item you uploaded which was great, hopefully the ebay does swell.

It's great to hear someone's happy with an eBay tool but our boards are very quiet and none of the regular posters sell in the category that would use it.

OP3 months agoI'm aware it's a discussion board. I was happy with something and I wrote about it to see who else may have tried it. I wasn't being literal with the "ebay I need this" remark. I used it as a statement to say to who ever reads it I seriously love it. If its a subject you don't want to discuss I suggest just don't read it.

·3 months agoAs an aside, I recommend you limit your $400 items to domestic postage only.
With so many scammers around these days, all an overseas buyer has to do is open an' item not as described' claim through Ebay's Money Back Guarantee and you'll lose your money and your item.
It happens all too frequently.
Likewise be cautious listing any high priced cards , even for domestic postage, as if a buyer claims it's a fake, eBay will side with the buyer.
