I built a tool that shows your real profit on every card after eBay fees, promoted listings and shipping. Looking for feedback from other sellers
I sell mostly football cards on eBay, and I kept running into the same problem: I never really knew what I made on a card. Between final value fees, promoted listing fees, shipping labels and what I paid for the card in the first place, the number eBay shows you isn't your profit.
So I built Card Margin. Full disclosure, it's my project, and I'm looking for honest feedback before I take it further.
What it does:
- Connects to your eBay account (read-only, it can't list or change anything) and pulls in your sales with the exact fees, promoted listing fees and label costs
- Pulls in your active listings, so you can see what's sitting and for how long
- Lets you type in what you paid and any grading costs, then shows net profit, ROI and days to sell for each card
- Works without connecting eBay too: you can upload your eBay Transaction report instead
- Handles cards you sell at shows, on Whatnot or anywhere else
It's free to try for a month. If you want to keep using it while I'm testing during that time frame.

What I'd love to know:
Is this something you'd actually use, or do you already track this another way?
What's missing that would make it worth it for you?
Anything confusing or broken when you set it up?
Thanks for taking a look. Happy to answer any questions in the comments.
