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 included for every account. Some granular financials surfaces may remain behind an operational rollout gate while data reconciliation is validated.

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.

Sync now

If a backlog builds up — most commonly sales made before you granted the finance permission — the module shows "N sales awaiting eBay finance sync" with a Sync now button beneath it. Clicking it pulls up to 90 days of eBay finance history (the most eBay makes available) and shows a progress bar while your sales reconcile; the 7D/30D/90D figures refresh in place when it finishes. A handful of very recent sales may stay pending afterward — that just means eBay hasn't posted their fees yet, and the regular sync will pick them up.

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 → Connections → 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.
