Frequently Asked Questions

Everything we get asked about how Picker Radar works, what it costs, and where it runs.

Are these estimates or real prices?

Real prices, pulled live from eBay sold listings on every scan — not algorithmic estimates. You see the median sold price, the full range, sell-through rate, and the count of sold listings behind the number.

How does scanning an item actually work?

Three quick photos per item: one of the item itself, one of the brand or care label, and one of the price tag. Picker Radar reads the brand and details from the first two and pulls the cost from the third — so the dashboard can track real profit per trip, not just sale value. The whole capture takes about ten seconds an item, and the comps + Buy/Skip recommendation come back in the background while you keep scanning.

What if the AI misidentifies my item?

It happens, especially with unlabeled or heavily worn items. When it does, you can edit the search query before pulling comps, or just move on — it takes less time than opening eBay manually did before. Accuracy improves when the label or brand is visible in the photo.

What categories does it work for?

Clothing, shoes, electronics, kitchenware, home goods, collectibles, books — anything that sells on eBay. It is not specialized for any one category. If eBay has sold listings for it, you will get comps.

How current are the sold comps?

Comps pull from eBay's recent sold history, typically the last 30 to 90 days depending on how frequently the item sells. You will see the date range on each result so you know what you are working with.

What happens if I use all my scans?

On the Free plan, scans are a one-time lifetime pool of 5. On the paid plans they reset each billing cycle. If you approach your cap on Pro, you get a soft warning at 90% but you are never hard-blocked mid-aisle. Starter and Hobby stop when the cycle cap is hit.

What is the difference between Starter and Pro?

Volume and priority. Starter gives you 100 scans per cycle at $10/mo. Pro gives you 2,500 at $40/mo, a soft-warn-only cap (so you never get cut off mid-trip), and priority placement in the scan worker queue during high-traffic windows. If you source a few times a week, Starter is usually plenty. If this is your job, Pro pays for itself fast.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, no questions asked. Cancel from your account page and your access continues until the end of the billing period you already paid for. No prorating, no retention flows.

Does it work on Android and iPhone?

Yes. Picker Radar is a mobile web app — it runs in your phone's browser, no download required, and works on Android and iOS. Chrome on Android and Safari on iOS both perform well.
