Order Pull System
A card sells and you have nine more like it. Which one do you grab? PowerList TCG tells you exactly which copy to pull, arranges the list around your storage, and keeps everything in order when a buyer cancels.
Where Order Pull Sits in the Workflow
Everything before this got the card listed. This is the part where you go find it.
Why One SKU Is Not Enough
This is the part no marketplace can solve for you, and the reason this feature exists.
A listing on eBay has one SKU field. One. It holds around fifty characters, and it describes the listing, not the cards inside it. That is fine until you list ten copies of the same card on one listing, which is exactly what you do with a playset or a bulk rare.
Those ten copies are not in one place. They are in ten slots, possibly in different boxes, possibly graded slightly differently. Ten storage labels will not fit in a field built to hold one, and even if they did, the marketplace has no idea which of the ten this buyer just bought.
So the SKU on a multi-quantity listing points at the first copy and keeps pointing at it forever. Sell four and it still names copy one, which is sitting in your box being told it has sold four times. Once you carry real stock depth this becomes a tracking problem, and the usual answer is a spreadsheet, a notebook, or a system you keep in your head.
- Absol 32/198, ten in stock
- One of them just sold
- Which of the ten, and where it is
- Copy three of ten, Near Mint
- Sold on order 07-13284
- Sitting in box B4, row 2, slot 18
What Happens When a Card Sells
Ten copies on hand, one of them sold, and no ambiguity about which.
Grouping and Sorting the Sheet
Your boxes are already sorted some way. The sheet should match, not fight it.
| Control | Options | Use It When |
|---|---|---|
| Which orders | Not yet shipped, labels printed today, last 3 days, last 7 days, or a date range. | You buy labels first, then pull. |
| Group by | Game, set, rarity, order, buyer, marketplace, or no grouping. | Your storage is arranged by set, or you want one order together. |
| Sort by | Card name, card number, rarity, pull SKU, your own SKU, buyer, order, or marketplace. | Cards inside a box run in number order. |
Group by set and sort by card number and the sheet becomes the order you would walk anyway. Group by buyer instead when someone bought eleven cards and you want them in one pile. The sheet ticks off as you go and shows how many of the day's cards are left.
Things Worth Knowing
Behaviors that decide what shows up on your sheet.
Orders Arrive on Their Own
Orders sync on their own, with a scheduled run behind that as a safety net. Cancellations and refunds come in the same way, including ones that turn up weeks later.
A Cancel Puts the Copy Back
A cancelled order leaves the sheet and its copy goes back to available, with every order behind it shifting down a slot. Refunds are flagged for you instead, since a refunded card is not necessarily back in your hands.
Old Stock Sells First
Stock you already had on eBay is counted but not labelled copy by copy, and it sells first. Once it runs out, every sale names a specific scanned copy.
One Walk, Not One Trip per Order
A card sold on three orders is one stop with three orders attached, not three trips. Each line names the orders it covers, so you know where every card you pull is going.
Every Line Shows the Card
Each row shows the card, your own scan photo where you have one, with set, number, rarity, and condition beside it.
Print It or Work off the Screen
Print it and carry paper to the boxes, or tick cards off on screen and watch the list shrink.
Known Limits
Where the sheet stops and you take over.
- Ticking cards off is per session on the label views. On the unshipped view, marking a card pulled records it. On the date-based views those orders are already marked shipped by eBay, so the ticks last for that sitting rather than being stored.
- Imported copies are counted, not individually labelled. Stock that predates your account has no per-copy label to give you. The sheet shows your eBay label for those and gets specific only once they are used up.
- A listing with no custom label still lands on the sheet. It gets its own line with its title and quantity, but the pull column can only show the location information the listing carries.
- Refunds do not restock. A refund marks the order for you to review and leaves your counts alone. Putting the card back is a decision you make once you know where it is.
- The sheet holds five hundred lines. Enough for any normal day of pulling. A backlog bigger than that is worked through in sittings, which is how you would walk it anyway.
Order Pull System: Common Questions
Does this work if I keep the same card in different conditions?
Yes, and that is where it earns its keep. Near Mint and Lightly Played copies of one card are separate stock with separate prices, and each copy carries its own storage label. The sheet sends you to the right grade, not just the right card.
What if a card sells while I am part-way through pulling?
It appears on the sheet the next time you refresh. Cards you have already ticked off stay ticked. A sale mid-pull adds a line instead of restarting your walk.
I pulled the wrong copy. Does that break anything?
No. The labels tell copies apart so you can find them again. Any Near Mint copy of a card is the same card to your buyer. If you ship copy four instead of copy three, correct the labels when you get a moment or leave it; the counts stay right either way.
Can I pull for several orders in one trip?
That is how the sheet is built. It is built around one walk through your storage instead of one trip per order, and every line names the orders it covers.
Do I need a particular storage system for this to work?
No. The labels describe wherever you already put things. A binder, a row of 5,000-count boxes, or a shelf of totes all work. Group the sheet the way your storage is sorted and it follows your existing layout.
Does it cover orders from more than one marketplace?
Yes. Every marketplace you have connected feeds the same sheet, and you can group or sort by marketplace when you would rather keep them apart. A card sold twice on two different marketplaces is still one stop on your walk.
