From scan to sale, without the guesswork
Scan resale items, check eBay market evidence, choose a group and ask price, and see estimated proceeds before saving. Version 2.7.2 is available for iPhone and iPad.
Saved product captures. Prices, example records and interface state are shown as captured; they are not current offers or a live status feed.
ConsignMate brings recognition, pricing, fee calculations and resale inventory into one iPhone and iPad workflow. Capture an item, review the proposed identification, check current eBay listings, choose a group and set your ask price before saving. Estimated proceeds account for the selected fee template and entered cost. Inventory shows the age of listings older than 30 days; versioned backups include settings and sit alongside recoverable legacy files. Inventory stays local with optional iCloud sync, and exported marketplace listings remain drafts for review.
Identify, verify, price, and organize resale inventory in one review-first workflow
Point the camera or choose a photo to identify products. Gemini recognition is supported by offline barcode, text, logo, and brand signals; alternative matches and confidence context remain reviewable before saving.
Use the device camera to scan barcodes and look up product information.
After capturing or selecting a photo, sellers can optionally enter a bounded clue such as a brand, model, or variant. The hint is treated as evidence for recognition and never replaces verified barcode facts.
Fetch current eBay market evidence with source links where available. It informs listing decisions; it does not guarantee a sale price or represent completed sales.
Built-in calculator for resellers with consignment fee support, cost breakdowns, and an explicit distinction between planned values and realized sale results.
Manage products with photos, status tracking, search, sorting, groups, and recovery-friendly local storage.
Premium batch scanning supports high-volume intake workflows and makes it clearer when a scan is ready to save or resume.
Review and compare alternative product matches before saving or pricing a listing.
Analytics with ROI metrics, activity summaries, brand performance, and customizable time windows that keep portfolio estimates distinct from realized results.
Products sync through CloudKit and Groups through iCloud Documents. Force Sync, backup, restore, and recovery paths expose clearer status when work is pending or a device is offline.
Create and manage inventory groups with colors and icons for shop workflows.
Premium unlocks batch scanning, advanced analytics, export, and other gated features. Read-only App Store Connect verification on 2026-08-02 showed $2.99 monthly, $24.99 annual, and a 7-day introductory free trial; recheck at submission.
Free users receive a daily scan allowance; Premium subscribers receive expanded access per App Store entitlements.
Export eBay listing drafts or copy-ready text for Poshmark and Mercari. The seller reviews and supplies final facts before posting; ConsignMate does not cross-list automatically.
Manage Backups lists versioned backups alongside legacy files, with settings restored as part of recovery.
The selected group carries through a batch while the ask price resets for each item.
Choose a local fee template for an item, use it in the calculator and compare channels with Premium.
Inventory flags listings older than 30 days with their listed age.
