The Review Queue: From Photo to Live Listing
Your review queue is where photos become listings. Each photo has already been tagged with item type, condition, and other details by the app. You adjust what needs adjusting, verify the price, and publish. You're in control—the app is just giving you a head start.
What you see in the queue
When you tap "Review" on your dashboard, you see a list of all your unpublished photos, newest first.
Each item shows:
- The photo (large preview)
- Auto-filled name (e.g., "Ceramic vase, 8-inch")
- Auto-filled category (e.g., "Décor")
- Auto-filled condition (e.g., "Good")
- Auto-filled price (based on comparable-sale lookup)
- A summary of other details (material, color, size if detected)
You also see edit buttons for each field.
The review workflow
- **Tap an item** to open its detail view.
- **Scan the auto-filled data.** Name, category, condition, price. Are they right?
- **Edit anything that needs fixing.** Tap the field, change it, save.
- **Add photos if you took more angles.** Tap "Add photos," select from your phone, and add up to 12 images per listing.
- **Add a description** if you want to note damage, missing pieces, or special features. "One knob loose" or "stain on top" goes here.
- **Set your own price** if you disagree with the suggested price. Your number always wins.
- **Publish.** Tap "Publish" and the listing appears in search results.
Field-by-field guide
Item name: The app suggests a name based on what it sees. "Wooden dresser" or "ceramic bowl." You can edit this to be more specific: "Oak dresser, 3-drawer, no stain" or "Hand-painted ceramic bowl, blue flowers." Specific names help shoppers find your items in search.
Category: The app picks a broad category like "Furniture" or "Home Décor." You can change it to narrow down the type. If it says "Furniture" but you know it's specifically "Outdoor Furniture," change it. Precise categories help shoppers filter.
Condition: The app grades it as "Like new," "Good," "Fair," or "Poor" based on the photo. If you see damage or wear the photo didn't show, change it. Be honest here—shoppers expect what they bid on to match the grade.
Price: The app suggests a price based on comparable items that sold. It shows the comparable sale it used. You can accept the suggestion or set your own price. Your organizer override always wins. See the Pricing guide for more on this.
Details (optional): Add notes about condition, missing pieces, repairs, or quirks. "Glass shows wear," "one leg is slightly shorter," "small water ring on top." Details help shoppers make informed decisions and reduce disputes later.
Additional photos: If you took multiple angles, add them here. Photos appear in the order you add them—the first one is the main photo in search results.
Common queue questions
Can I publish items one at a time?
Yes. Review one item, publish, then move to the next. Or review a batch of 10 and publish them all at once. Your choice.
Can I save a listing and come back to it later?
Yes. Any unadjusted item stays in the queue. You don't have to finish reviewing it immediately.
What if I want to pull a listing down?
Once published, you can unpublish it from the "My Listings" page or through the item detail view. The item goes back to the queue so you can edit and republish it.
Can I duplicate a listing?
The app can create variants if you have multiple of the same item. If you have five of the same lamp, you photograph it once, and the app can list it as "Qty: 5" or create five separate listings. Ask in the FAQ or your guide on multi-unit items.
What if the photo is wrong and I need to retake it?
Tap the item. Tap the photo. Select "Retake." The camera opens. Photograph the item again. The new photo replaces the old one. Your edits to the listing stay the same.
I don't have time to review everything today. Can items wait in the queue?
Yes, items stay in the queue until you publish them. You can photograph 200 items one day and review them over the next few days, one batch at a time.
Quality checks before publishing
Before you hit "Publish," ask yourself:
- **Does the name make sense to a shopper?** "Wooden chair" is okay. "Solid oak dining chair, no damage" is better.
- **Is the condition honest?** If the item has a scratch or stain, does the condition grade reflect it?
- **Is the price reasonable?** Use the comparable sale as a guide, but factor in your local market. A lamp that sold for $25 in Seattle might sell for $20 in a smaller town.
- **Does the photo clearly show the item?** If it's dark or cluttered, consider retaking before publishing.
Publish when you're confident. Shoppers will see your listing in search results.
