Settings Reference
Every setting in every Settings section — including the Seller Marketplace origin, eBay connection, pricing, listing, lots, notifications, and review triggers.
Overview
On phones and tablets, More → Profile opens Settings → Account. Settings links, browser Back/Forward, and reload show the tab named in the URL. Clicking a Settings tab updates the current history entry and preserves other URL parameters; it does not add a new Back-button step.
This is the comprehensive reference for every user-configurable setting in RocketVault. The Settings page is grouped into sections:
| Section | Panels |
|---|---|
| You | Account, Access & Fees |
| Connections | eBay Connection |
| Buying & selling | Selling, Pricing, Listing, Naming, Lots |
| Notifications | Notifications |
| Advanced | Review triggers |
Most fields commit on blur. Panels that batch updates show an amber dot until you click Save All. The private ship-from form has its own explicit Save ship-from address action.
Account
Lives under You. Manage your identity, sign-in details, and account.
- Display name and phone number — editable inline.
- Email address — read-only. Update it through the account you use to sign in, or contact support.
- Password — change it here if you signed up with email/password.
- Email verification — resend the verification email if you haven't confirmed your address.
- Delete Account — permanently removes your account and data. Irreversible.
eBay Connection
Lives under Connections. Connects RocketVault to external marketplaces. eBay is currently the only external connected destination; the first-party RocketVault Marketplace uses Selling and its listing workflow instead of an OAuth connection.
eBay seller prerequisites
Before connecting, your eBay account must already have:
- Completed seller registration (identity verification, payout bank account, tax info).
- Opted into Business Policies with at least one fulfillment, payment, and return policy.
- A shipping-from (merchant) location set on the eBay account.
Without these, eBay rejects policy sync and publishing. RocketVault shows an Open eBay Business Policies action from every publish flow; complete the setup in eBay, then return to Settings → Integrations and select Refresh policies.
eBay Connect
- Connect / Disconnect — Securely sign in through eBay. Mobile opens eBay in a new screen; desktop opens a small sign-in window.
- Switch Account — Re-authorize with a different eBay account. Forces an eBay re-login first.
- Token expires — Surfaced under the badge. Tokens auto-refresh in the background, so you won't be asked to reconnect on a schedule. RocketVault can show a one-time Reconnect prompt when eBay requires a newly added permission for real-time listing or order updates, or when eBay revokes the connection (for example, after removing RocketVault from your eBay app permissions).
Business policies
Picked from the live policies eBay returns at connect time:
- Fulfillment policy (shipping)
- Payment policy
- Return policy
Use the Configure policies here → link to open eBay's policy manager in a new tab. RocketVault re-fetches your policy list when you reconnect.
Shipping rule by card price
Optional rule that overrides the bulk-publish form's shipping picker on a per-card basis.
- Enabled — Master on/off switch. The rule is "saved but inactive" until every required field is filled.
- Threshold price (USD) — Cutoff price. Cards below get the "under" service; cards at or above get the "over" service.
- Under / Over service — Choose a supported USPS, UPS, or FedEx service.
- Under / Over cost (USD) — Each branch has a Free checkbox; toggling it locks cost at $0.
If any field is blank, the rule shows an amber warning and falls back to the bulk-publish form's shipping default.
Automated offers to watchers
Daily sweep that sends private discount offers to the interested buyers (watchers and cart-abandoners) on your active eBay listings. Full guide: Automated Offers to Watchers. Included for every account.
- Enabled — Master on/off switch.
- Discount (%) — 5–50% off the listing price. eBay enforces the 5% minimum.
- Price floor (USD) — Offers whose discounted price would land below this are skipped. Your minimum listing price always applies on top.
- Wait after listing (days) — Listings younger than this are skipped (default 3).
- Offer message — Optional plain-text note delivered with every offer; blank uses RocketVault's default. HTML is rejected.
The panel also shows X / 250 offers sent today, the last sweep time, and a recent-activity list of sent/skipped offers.
Auto-import eBay purchases
Automatically imports the trading cards you buy on eBay into your inventory — details, images, and cost basis included. Full guide: Auto-Import eBay Purchases. Included for every account.
- Auto-import eBay purchases — Master on/off switch. Turning it on checks your last 90 days of purchases once (eBay's maximum); after that, RocketVault checks for new purchases every 6 hours. Non-card purchases such as supplies and storage are ignored automatically.
Listing sync interval
Every account can choose any supported listing-sync interval:
| Access | Available intervals |
|---|---|
| Every account | 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 6 hours, once a day |
Sync Now is always available and checks eBay orders and active listings immediately. The regular sync already runs in the background, so use this only when you want a fresh update right away.
RocketVault checks for scheduled syncs every 15 minutes and follows the interval you chose. Your listings update on their own; use Sync Now only when you want an immediate update.
Refresh pricing
Default price-drop percentages that the Refresh dialog pre-fills when you refresh stale listings. The dialog lets you adjust the percentage per run — these are starting points, not hard rules.
- Soft refresh price drop — default 3%. Pre-filled when the dialog's style is Soft refresh.
- Hard refresh price drop — default 0% (relist at the exact same price). Pre-filled when the style is Hard refresh.
Both are capped at 25%, and every drop is clamped to your minimum listing price — RocketVault will never drop a $50 card to $1.99 because you fat-fingered a setting.
Selling
Lives under Buying & selling. This panel owns the account defaults RocketVault uses for Seller Marketplace labels.
- Full name, street, optional unit, city, state, and ZIP — the validated U.S. ship-from address.
- Shipping email and phone — optional contact details used when a carrier requires them.
- Default — the single saved origin is automatically the default for every RocketVault Marketplace shipment; there is no per-listing address form.
- Compact summary — after the address is saved, the form collapses to one address summary and an Edit address action.
- Privacy — RocketVault protects this address and shows it only to the account owner and the services that need it to complete a shipment.
- Default shipping payer — Buyer-paid or Free shipping, independent from the delivery setup.
- Default delivery setup — Best available with economy-envelope eligibility and tracked fallback, Always tracked, or a saved advanced setup.
- Default card package — pre-populated RocketVault Card Envelope for one card, up to two sleeved cards, or larger eligible flexible orders up to 3 oz; protective tracked mailers; and grouped graded-card parcels.
- Per-listing override — changing the payer, delivery setup, or package on one listing leaves the account default alone unless Make account default is selected.
Seller setup stays with the card, batch, or Selling page where you started: payouts, ship-from address, who pays for shipping, delivery choice, and package. After Stripe, RocketVault returns you to that same flow. Cards from one seller share a package and label when they fit safely, and RocketVault shows the shipping savings to the person who pays. Flexible raw cards may use the 1, 2, or 3 oz RocketVault Card Envelope; graded, rigid, heavy, or otherwise ineligible cards use tracked parcel shipping. Advanced shipping controls are optional. At checkout, Calculate shipping finds the lowest suitable service and calculates tax. Sellers do not need another shipping account. eBay's shipping location and business policies stay under eBay Connection.
Pricing
Lives under Buying & selling. Controls how cards get priced when there's no live market data. Most cards use RocketVault Pricing and eBay comps; these values apply only as a fallback.
Base Prices
Floor for raw, no-parallel cards.
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Fallback price currency | USD | Currency used for every fallback amount in Pricing. Choose USD, EUR, or GBP. Market-sourced prices keep their source currency. |
| Price Floor | $0.99 | Minimum listing price for any card |
| Base Veteran | $0.75 | Default price for non-rookie base cards |
| Base Rookie | $1.50 | Default price for rookie base cards |
The symbols in every fallback-price group update with this selection. A native EUR or GBP fallback is stored with the card and published unchanged when it matches the seller's eBay marketplace; later exchange-rate movement does not alter the configured amount. The choice applies to future fallback calculations and subsequent price edits, not as a bulk rewrite of existing cards.
Multipliers
Stack on top of the base price for premium attributes.
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Rookie | 2.0x | Multiplier applied to rookie cards |
| Autograph | 1.5x | Multiplier for autograph cards |
| Memorabilia / Relic | 1.3x | Multiplier for relic/memorabilia cards |
| Gem Mint (PSA/BGS 10) | 3.0x | Multiplier for gem-mint graded cards |
| Mint (PSA/BGS 9) | 1.5x | Multiplier for mint graded cards |
Parallel Tiers
Used when a parallel card has no RocketVault Pricing match and no eBay comps. The tier is picked by keyword-matching the parallel name.
| Setting | Default | Triggered when parallel name contains |
|---|---|---|
| Standard parallel | $4.00 | Default tier — anything not matching the lists below |
| Retail SP parallel | $10.00 | shimmer, mojo, atomic, genesis, checkerboard |
| Case hit / 1-of-1 / SSP | $125.00 | superfractor, 1/1, ssp, case hit, black |
Insert & Relic Tiers
Used when an insert or relic has no RocketVault Pricing match and no eBay comps.
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Common insert | $1.50 | Default tier for inserts not matching the popular-insert list |
| Popular insert | $3.50 | Inserts whose name contains: silver, explosion, lazer, burst |
| Plain relic | $3.50 | Single-color jersey/relic, no patch |
| Patch / multi-color relic | $10.00 | Multi-color or patch relic |
Pricing Sources
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Use RocketVault database pricing | On | Use RocketVault Pricing as primary source |
| Fallback to Rule-Based | On | Use rule-based pricing when no market data is available |
Per-sport multipliers (Baseball 1.0, Basketball 1.2, Football 1.1, Hockey 0.9, Soccer 0.8) are applied automatically and aren't user-editable from the UI.
Review triggers
Lives under Advanced. Decides which cards land on the Needs Attention chip on the Available tab.
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Auto-Apply Threshold | 0.85 | Confidence required to auto-apply parallel detection |
| High Confidence Threshold | 0.85 | Threshold for high-confidence matches |
| Medium Confidence Threshold | 0.70 | Threshold for medium-confidence matches |
| Review Threshold | 0.50 | Confidence below this requires manual review |
| Price Anomaly Threshold | 5.0x | Flag cards priced > N× the base value |
| High Value Review Threshold | $50 | Cards at or above this price route to high-value review |
| Missing Player → Review | On | Send to review if player can't be identified |
| Missing Set → Review | On | Send to review if set can't be identified |
| Serial Without Number → Review | On | Send to review if serial is detected but the number is missing |
| Auto-Confirm High-Confidence Parallels | On | Auto-confirm strong parallel matches that meet every confidence and value check |
| Auto-Confirm Soft-Warning Threshold | $25 | Cards in $25–$50 still auto-confirm but get a softer badge for spot-checks |
| Comp-Priced Auto-Ready | On | Don't send a card to review just because its price came from live eBay comps (instead of an exact catalog match), when the comps are confident enough and the card is below the high-value threshold. Thin-comp or high-value cards still route to review. |
| Comp-Price Min Confidence | 0.55 | Minimum comp confidence required for Comp-Priced Auto-Ready to skip review. Lower it to auto-ready more comp-priced cards; raise it (or turn the toggle off) to review more of them. |
Naming
Lives under Buying & selling. Configures the filename convention for paired front / back image uploads. The Settings page shows a live filename preview as you edit.

|---|---|---|

| Back Image Suffix | _B | Suffix marking a back image (e.g. _B, -back) |

RocketVault branding can be used in listing copy without changing the fee. There is no subscription discount because there is no subscription charge.

Notifications
Lives under Notifications. One switch controls your Daily Briefing delivery:

| Card show reminders | On | Sends a push and email about 48 hours before a saved upcoming card show. |
