The confirm sheet

After a scan or an eBay search, you land on the confirm sheet — a form that already has answers in it. Every one of those answers is a suggestion, not a decision CellerHub has made for you. Nothing is written to your catalogue until you save.

What “decided” means

Under most fields on the sheet, you’ll see a short line explaining where the value came from. That’s the whole point of the sheet: instead of asking you ten questions the app can usually answer itself, it answers them and shows its work, so you only have to look closely at the ones that matter.

The sources you’ll see, roughly from most to least certain:

• eBay’s catalog — for a scanned barcode, the condition, brand, and other facts eBay’s own product catalog reports for that exact item.
• Your own history — the answer you’ve picked most often for this category before, or, when you’re editing a product you already created, whatever you set on it yourself.
• The recipe you’re using — a standing instruction you wrote down once (see Templates and recipes).
• What the category itself allows — sometimes a category has only one legal value, or a short list where one choice is clearly the common one among matching eBay listings. CellerHub picks that one and says so, rather than leaving the field blank.
• A price estimate — the suggested price comes from current eBay asking prices, not sold prices. See Suggested prices for exactly what that estimate is and isn’t built from.
• Written from what you entered — a description or similar field assembled out of the title, condition, and specifics you already confirmed. These are worth a closer read, since they’re generated rather than looked up.
• A guess — the lowest rung. When nothing else can answer, the sheet still offers its best match, but says plainly that it’s a guess.
• Nothing — when none of the above can answer, the field is left blank and asks you directly.

A quantity of one is filled in automatically when you scan an item, because you’re holding the thing — there’s no reason to ask.

Nothing is written without your click

Every value on the sheet, however it got there, is a proposal. You can change anything before you save, and CellerHub never writes a scanned or searched answer straight into your catalogue behind your back.
