Trading card sellers in Canada have a new way to add listings in half the time as before, with the image scan tool for listing collectible card games. 

 

The new tool streamlines listing for select collectible card games, enabling sellers to simply scan a card from the eBay app and create a draft listing, complete with pre-filled listing details.

 

To use the tool: 

 

  1. Open or download eBay’s app from an iOS or Android mobile device or tablet. Start your listing by typing a game name into the search bar (e.g., “Magic the Gathering”). When prompted, select “Tap to search with your camera.” 
  2. Point your camera at the card and hold to scan the card’s image. A list of possible matches will pop up, showing details that include game name, card title, card set, card number, rarity, card type, power and more.
  3. Tap the correct (or closest) match to pre-populate your listing with all of the card details.
  4. Add photos, the card condition, price and shipping to complete your listing.

The tool is currently available for Magic the Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Pokémon cards, with the goal of adding additional functionality as the tool rolls out.
