Automatically track your eBay purchases!

You can now automatically import your eBay purchases directly into whuppit! When you win an auction or buy a card on eBay, it shows up in your Pending Purchases, ready for you to review and add to your inventory—no more manual entry needed.

This feature is available now for all Premium and Unlimited plans at no extra cost.

Once you've connected your eBay account to whuppit, the process is completely automatic.

The purchase shows up immediately in your Pending Purchases with an estimated total cost. You'll see the card title, seller information, and what you paid (or are expected to pay).

whuppit updates the purchase with the full cost breakdown—item price, shipping, taxes, and any eBay fees. Now you have complete visibility into exactly what that card cost you, down to the penny.

When you're ready, you can review the purchase and fill in any additional details you want.

Here's where it gets really handy: you can search GemRate directly from the review page to find a match for your card. When you find it, whuppit automatically imports all the card details—year, set, player, card number, parallel, even whether it's autographed.

Once you approve the purchase, the card shows up in your inventory as "incoming" with the full purchase price breakdown, seller information, and purchase date all automatically populated.

You can also reject any purchase if it's something you don't need imported into whuppit—maybe it was a gift, or a personal collection piece you don't want to track. Just hit reject and it disappears.

This feature tackles three big pain points at once.

Every time you buy a card on eBay, you used to have to manually add it to whuppit—type in the card details, enter the purchase price, remember the seller, note the date. For folks buying multiple cards a day, that adds up to a lot of tedious data entry. Now? It just shows up automatically. You review it, approve it, and move on.

One thing that's come up repeatedly is that it's easy to lose track of which purchases haven't shipped yet. That matters because eBay gives you a limited window to request a refund if a seller doesn't ship. Having all your pending purchases in one place makes it much easier to spot when a seller is taking too long, so you can follow up with them or contact eBay before that window closes.

Between the automatic cost breakdown and the GemRate search integration, you get detailed, accurate information about each card and exactly what you paid for it. That means your profit calculations, ROI tracking, and inventory reports are all based on real data, not rough estimates or whatever you remembered to type in.

To use this feature, you'll need:

That's it. Once connected, any eBay purchases you make will automatically start showing up in your Pending Purchases.

I've been using the feature myself for a month or so now, and quite a few users have been testing it as well—things seem to be working well.

If you do encounter any issues or have ideas for what should come next, please let me know: tim@whuppit.com.

The current version works great for individual card purchases, but I know a lot of folks buy multi-card lots (like a 20-card lot listing). Making it easier to split those into individual cards is high on the list for future improvements.

I also have some ideas for improving incoming shipment tracking, automatically leaving eBay feedback and more.

As always, feedback is welcome! I'm excited to see how this changes your workflow, and I'd love to hear what other improvements would make this even better.
