Step 6: Track Your Business

Dashboard P&L

The Seller dashboard shows your complete business picture:

• Revenue, profit, and margins
• Sales velocity and average days to sell
• Top gainers and losers in your inventory
• Risk analysis (concentration, market, liquidity)

Heat Score — When to Sell

Use Market Intelligence > Heat Score to find which cards in your inventory are hot:

• Cards with high heat scores and "Sell Now" recommendations = list these first
• Cards with "Hold" = wait for better market conditions
• Cards with "Grade & Sell" = consider grading before listing

Risk Reports

Seller plan includes risk reports:

• Concentration risk — too much value in a few cards
• Market risk — cards with declining trends
• Liquidity risk — high-value cards that may be slow to sell

---

Step 7: Stay Synced

RocketVault keeps your eBay listings in sync:

• Status sync — When cards sell on eBay, RocketVault updates automatically
• Price updates — Refresh pricing and push updated prices to eBay
• End/Relist — Manage listing lifecycle from RocketVault

---
