Where most collections actually start

Nobody builds a "multi-marketplace inventory pipeline" on purpose. They start with a shoebox of stamps, a binder of postcards, a closet of trading cards — and a vague plan to "list them someday." Someday keeps not coming because the gap between the shoebox and a live listing is enormous: sort, photograph, group, identify, price, write, format, pick a category, handle shipping, publish. Multiply by hundreds of items and it is a job you never start.

Break the job into a pipeline

The pipeline that actually works breaks the job into stages you can do in sittings instead of marathons:

1. Photograph everything in batches, using marker cards so grouping is automatic.
2. Group by SKU so each item has a clean, complete photo set.
3. Generate drafts with category-specific AI — title, description, category, condition, specifics, and price filled in.
4. Review every draft. Edit anything. Nothing is live.
5. Publish on a schedule — cap how many go live per day so the account stays healthy.
6. Sync to the other marketplaces you sell on, and balance the inventory so it stays fresh.

Why "review" is the load-bearing step

The reason the pipeline is trustworthy is that the generate step produces a draft, not a listing. AI is good at extraction and structure; it is imperfect at judgment. Giving a human the final edit on every field — and the ability to trust-publish later once they have reviewed enough — is what turns AI from a risk into leverage. That philosophy runs through the whole product, and you can see the full flow on the How It Works page.
