Financials & Per-Card P&L

Overview

RocketVault tracks your eBay sales finances at the card level. When a card sells, we pull the itemized financial detail straight from eBay — not an estimate — and break every sale down into five numbers:

• Revenue — what the buyer paid for the item (plus any shipping they paid).
• Ad costs — Promoted Listings ad spend attributed to that sale.
• eBay fees — the final value fee, fixed per-order fee, and any regulatory/international fees.
• Shipping — the label cost you actually paid.
• Net proceeds — your payout after eBay's cut: revenue + shipping collected − ad costs − fees − shipping.

You'll see these two places: the Financials module on the Command Center, and a per-card breakdown on every sold listing.

The Financials module (Command Center)

The Command Center (the / route, or the Command tab on mobile) opens with a collapsible Financials module above your Daily Briefing.

It shows, for the selected period:

• A net-proceeds headline with a trend arrow comparing it to the previous period of equal length.
• The five dimensions — revenue, ad costs, eBay fees, shipping, and net — as a compact, reflowing grid.
• A secondary line with net profit (after your recorded cost basis), average margin, and cost-basis coverage.
• A collapsible By card breakdown listing each sale with its revenue, ad, fee, shipping, and net figures.

Use the 7D / 30D / 90D toggle to change the window. The whole module collapses from its header, and the per-card breakdown collapses on its own — handy on phones, where the breakdown starts collapsed to keep the view tight.

The Financials module is part of the advanced dashboard, available on paid plans. See Plans & Pricing.

Per-card breakdown on a sold listing

Open any Sold listing (Cards → History, or click a sold row) to see a Financials section in the detail panel with the same five lines plus the net total. The listings table also shows a quick · net $X annotation next to the sold price once finances are reconciled.

Where the numbers come from

eBay reports fees, ad spend, and shipping-label costs through its Finances system, and those entries can arrive minutes to days after the sale — a promoted-listing ad fee or a final-value fee is often posted separately from the sale itself. RocketVault reconciles them automatically on its regular sync, so a card's figures fill in shortly after it sells.

While a sale is waiting on that detail, you'll see a "finance data pending" note and the card is flagged PENDING in the breakdown. The net shown until then is a best-effort figure (it assumes no fees yet), so it will tighten once eBay posts the fees.

One-time permission

Granular finance tracking needs an extra eBay permission (read-only access to your Finances data). If you connected eBay before this feature shipped, reconnect once to grant it: Settings → Integrations → reconnect eBay. Until you do, sales still record their gross price, but the fee/ad/shipping/net columns stay blank.

Net proceeds vs. net profit

• Net proceeds is what eBay pays you after its fees, ad spend, and your shipping label. It does not include what you paid for the card.
• Net profit subtracts your cost basis (and grading cost) from net proceeds. Add a cost basis to a card (Quick Edit, or the card detail page) so the module can compute true profit — the cost-basis coverage figure tells you what share of your sales have one recorded.
