Dashboard Guide

Overview

The RocketVault Dashboard is your home base. It brings together the cards that need attention, current listings, collection value, and market updates. Every account gets the full dashboard, and it adapts to your inventory and connected eBay data.

Open the dashboard from the left sidebar (or the Command tab on the mobile bottom nav).

The Command Center opens with your Daily Briefing — a grounded rundown of your cards, listings, and relevant player news. Price suggestions appear only when the supporting sales evidence is strong enough; your financial figures live in the Financials module below.

Above the briefing sits the collapsible Financials module — your real eBay revenue, ad costs, fees, shipping, and net proceeds for the period, with a per-card breakdown. It reflows to a single column on mobile and collapses by section.

Get set up to sell — the new-user checklist

New accounts see a Get set up to sell checklist at the top of the Command Center with four steps:

1. Upload your first cards — jump straight to the upload page and scan your first batch.
2. Review what the AI found — confirm parallels, fill missing data, and accept prices inline via Quick Edit.
3. Set up where you sell — when Seller Marketplace is enabled for your account, verify the default shipping origin RocketVault will reuse and complete payout verification; otherwise, connect eBay.
4. Publish your first listing — choose RocketVault Marketplace, eBay, or both when those destinations are enabled for your account, and put your first card live.

Each step deep-links to the right page, and steps complete automatically based on your real account state — upload a batch and the first step ticks itself off. The checklist disappears once all four are done, or you can dismiss it early if you don't need it.

eBay status banner

If your eBay account is disconnected (or your token has expired), a red banner appears at the top of the dashboard:

EBAY [environment] · DISCONNECTED — publishing disabled

Click CONNECT in the banner to open Settings → eBay Connection. On a narrow screen, the connection notice can wrap while the CONNECT button stays together. While disconnected, publishing to eBay is paused, but uploads, pricing, lots, and deal finding keep working.

Scheduled listing failures

When one card fails inside a scheduled eBay batch, Command Center shows the exact failure and links directly to that listing. The rest of the batch continues. Once you have fixed, retried, or otherwise handled the listing, choose Dismiss; RocketVault remembers the acknowledgement so the old notice does not return on refresh.

---

Actions queue — start here

When there's work to do, the Actions Queue sits at the very top of the page, framed by a bright accent border so you can't miss it. Each row shows a tag, a count, a one-line description, and a deep-link CTA.

If you have nothing queued, the dashboard shows a single "NOTHING TO ACTION — upload a new batch to refill the queue" line with an UPLOAD BATCH button.

---

KPI band

A four-up KPI band sits below the actions queue and reflows on smaller screens:

• Portfolio Value — Estimated market value of every card you own, plus a unique-card count.
• Unrealized P&L — Cost-basis-aware profit/loss for cards that have a recorded cost. The sub-line shows how much of your inventory has cost basis (% coverage).
• Listed (Active) — Number of active listings on eBay, plus combined GMV.
• Sold · 30D — Last 30 days of sales revenue, sales count, and percentage trend versus the prior 30-day window.

---

Value distribution · by sport

A horizontal bar chart breaks your portfolio value down by sport, with a follow-up table showing each sport's share of book, value, and card count. The view stacks tighter on phones and drops the "% of book" column to fit narrow screens.

Use it to see at a glance whether you're over-weighted in a single sport or category.

---

Inventory pipeline

A four-stage funnel: INGESTED → READY → LISTED → SOLD (all-time). Below the funnel:

• REVIEW count — cards still flagged for human verification.
• STALE > 45D — listings that haven't been refreshed in 45 days. Combine with the Refresh tab on the Cards page to clean these up in one pass.
• 30D REV Δ — percentage trend versus the prior 30-day period, with a quick link into the History tab.

---

Refresh activity

The Refresh Activity card tracks recent listing refresh runs — when they ran, how many listings they touched, and any errors that came back from eBay. Combine with the Refresh tab on the Cards page to keep stale listings rotating without staring at every one. See Refresh Stale Listings for the full workflow.

---

Event log

The Event log lists the most recent dashboard alerts — sell signals, price moves, stale flags, and liquidity warnings. Each row shows time, kind tag, title, and a value. On phones the row stacks so long titles aren't truncated.

---

CTA footer

A row of quick links at the bottom takes you directly to Upload, Cards, and Listings.

---

Included for every account

The Command Center is the home page for every account. You see:

• The Get set up to sell checklist (until you've finished or dismissed it).
• The complete Daily Briefing, grounded in your inventory and linked sources.
• Card counts and portfolio value.

P&L, cash flow trends, and deeper market analytics are included free.

Refreshing the data

Dashboard data is cached for performance. To force a refresh:

• Click the Refresh menu in the top bar.
• On mobile, pull to refresh at the top of the page.
• The dashboard also auto-refetches when you tab back into the app.

Most totals update automatically when you upload, sell, or change a card. Refresh manually only when you want to see the very latest numbers, such as right after a large batch finishes.

Common Questions

Why does my Portfolio Value seem low? Cards with no pricing data (still processing, or unmatched against the catalog) aren't included in the total. Run pricing on those cards with the Refresh Pricing bulk action on All Cards to clear them.

Why is my P&L shown as —? P&L only appears once you have at least one card with a recorded cost basis. Add cost on the Card Detail page or use the bulk cost editor on the Cards page.

Why don't my eBay sales show up? Make sure your eBay account is connected in Settings → Connections. Sold transactions are pulled from eBay directly — if the connection is broken, the dashboard falls back to sales recorded inside RocketVault only.
