The eBay selling engine for sports card sellers
Turn any box of cards
into a store that runs itself.
Feed it a childhood shoebox or this week's 4000-count restock. WaxEngine scans, prices from real eBay sold comps, lists, and runs the store, down to one honest profit number.
Hockey, baseball and football raw singles. Pokemon scanning too. Selling baseball?
14 days free, no credit card, automation off until you turn it on. Founding ten: $19.95/mo for life, and the founder personally lists your first 25 cards with you.
Two ways in. Same engine.
Whichever box you're holding.
THE SHOEBOX
Found the old collection?
Scan the box you've kept since the 90s. Every card gets identified, priced from real eBay sold data, and listed. Sell it all or just the hits, and finally learn what the childhood stash is actually worth.
- ■ Photo to live listing in about 30 seconds
- ■ Prices from real sold comps, not wishful asks
- ■ Founding ten: the founder lists your first 25 cards with you
THE 4000-COUNT
Moving volume every week?
Feed it the restock. Bulk scanning, automatic offers to watchers, dead-stock relisting, and one honest profit number across the whole store after fees, labels, and card cost.
- ■ Bulk scan, price, and publish
- ■ Offers send themselves on a schedule
- ■ Store-wide P&L, rebuilt two years back
The profitability reveal
The number eBay never shows you.
Every seller knows their sales number. Almost nobody knows their profit number, because eBay takes its cut in pieces: a fee here, a label there, the store subscription, a refund on a Tuesday. WaxEngine rebuilds the P&L eBay never gave you: gross sales minus fees, labels, refunds, shipping, and what the cards cost you. One number, live, down to the single order.
- Two years back, on day one. Connect eBay and WaxEngine backfills your full transaction history automatically.
- Click any month. Drill from the yearly chart into a single month, down to what each order really netted.
- Your card costs, included. Set a default cost per card or enter exact costs; the P&L applies them to every order.
- Export the P&L. One click to CSV for tax season or your accountant.
Want to run the math on one card first? Our free eBay fee calculator breaks down a single sale and tells you the break-even price you need to hit, and the eBay profit calculator does the same for anything you sell. No signup, nothing saved.
Why this, when eBay scans free
The scan was never the hard part.
eBay now identifies a card and guesses a value for free, in its own app, and most sports card scanner apps stop at the same place. Fine. Everything that actually turns a card into a sale is the rest of this table.
| What the work actually is | A free scanner | WaxEngine |
|---|---|---|
| Identify the card from a photo | Yes | Yes |
| Publish the eBay listing in one click | No | Yes |
| Price from real sold comps, plus your own sales history | No | Yes |
| Show your real profit after fees, shipping, and card cost | No | Yes |
| Send offers to the buyers watching a card | No | Yes |
| End stale listings and queue the relist | No | Yes |
| Group dead stock into sellable bundle lots | No | Yes |
| Tie league news to the cards on your shelf | No | Yes |
The founder
“Scanning a card was never what ate my nights. The selling was.”
I run Loubs Cards on eBay, 1,500+ live hockey listings. I got tired of chasing prices, nudging watchers, relisting one by one, and never knowing what I was actually netting. So I built the engine that runs my store, then made it yours. That profit screen up top is the one I check every morning.
Chris, founder (Loubs Cards on eBay, 1,500+ live listings)
The receipts
Real cards. Real sales. Real numbers.
Every card in the animation up top is an actual sale from the founder's store, priced and moved by the same engine you'd be using. These are the six biggest.
The store itself is public: Loubs Cards on eBay, 1,500+ live listings, 100% positive feedback, run end to end by this engine.
A look inside
The whole eBay listing grind. Handled.
Performance
Know which cards to relist, discount, or hold.
Every active listing is auto-sorted into four tiers based on the 28-day eBay listing cycle. Stale cards surface for a relist, watched cards get offer nudges, fresh cards get room to breathe. No more guessing which of your hundreds of listings need attention.
Automation
Offers automatic. Stale cards queued to relist.
WaxEngine watches your store on the 28-day eBay listing cycle and acts on it. It sends discount offers to the buyers watching a card, ends stale listings and queues them for a one-click relist, and leaves your performers alone. Every stage ships off until you turn it on, with safety caps and a dry-run mode.
Bundles
Dead stock becomes sold lots.
Slow movers pile up. WaxEngine groups your stale cards into player, team, and set lots, prices the bundle from the summed card values with a discount you control, and hands you a ready-to-publish listing. Clear the shelf without the busywork.
Market intel
News that moves cards, tied to your shelf.
A player going hot or getting hurt only matters if you hold their cards. WaxEngine pulls hockey news and market signals and ties them to the players sitting in your inventory, so you know which of your listings to reprice or push today.
How it runs
From shoebox to sold.
- 1
Scan and publish
Snap a photo. The AI reads player, year, set, number, and parallel, prices it, and lists to eBay in one click. This is where every scanner app stops.
- 2
Let it work your inventory
Offers go out to watchers automatically, stale cards get ended and queued for a one-click relist, dead stock groups into bundle lots. All timed to the 28-day eBay listing cycle, with safety caps and a dry-run mode.
- 3
Watch the real number grow
Performance tiers and market intel tell you what to reprice, push, or hold, and the live P&L shows what it all actually nets, so the store keeps moving without you.
Listing one card by hand takes about five minutes, then you still babysit the price, the offers, and the relist. Publishing here takes about thirty seconds, and the rest runs itself. Across 500 cards a month, that's a full work-week back.

Questions, answered
Before you feed it the box.
What is WaxEngine?
WaxEngine is an eBay selling engine for sports card sellers. It scans hockey, baseball and football cards from photos, identifies and prices them from real eBay sold data, publishes the listings, sends offers to watchers, relists stale cards, groups dead stock into lots, and tracks real profit after eBay fees, shipping labels, and card cost.
What is the fastest way to sell a whole box of hockey cards on eBay?
List them individually with an automated listing workflow instead of dumping the box as one lot. With WaxEngine a photo becomes a live eBay listing in about 30 seconds, so a few hundred cards is an afternoon, not a month of evenings, and singles consistently net more than bulk-lot sales for anything worth over a few dollars.
How do I find out what my hockey cards are actually worth?
Recent eBay sold prices for your exact card, not asking prices. WaxEngine prices every scan from real sold comps automatically, and our free eBay profit calculator shows what a sale actually nets after fees.
What can WaxEngine actually do to my eBay account?
You connect through eBay's official sign-in and can disconnect anytime. Every automation ships turned off, with safety caps and a dry-run mode, so nothing sends offers, ends listings, or publishes until you switch it on.
How does the profit number know what I paid for my cards?
You set a default cost per card and can enter exact costs where you know them. The P&L applies them to every order, alongside the fees, labels, refunds, and shipping pulled from eBay automatically.
Which sports does WaxEngine cover, and what about graded cards?
Hockey, baseball and football raw singles are scanned, priced, listed and relisted today, all from eBay sold data. Pokemon scans and reviews, with pricing and publishing still to come. Market intel and bundle lots are hockey only for now. Graded (PSA, BGS, SGC) values are on the roadmap.
What happens after the free trial, and can I cancel?
The 14-day trial needs no credit card, and when it ends your data and settings are preserved: subscribe at $24.95/mo or $249/yr to keep going, or your account simply pauses. You can cancel anytime with no contracts or fees, your listings stay live on eBay, and your data exports to CSV whenever you want.
