"Man, y'all gotta get this! I scanned TWO short boxes in like, 30 minutes! Of course with AI, you should always verify the info it gives you, which is where using my website comes into play 😜 eComicIQ + heathenscomics.com = more free time to read that pile you've got sitting in the corner!"

Three taps from comic to listing

Built for sellers running Whatnot streams, eBay stores, or both. We fill in the details — you set the price.

1

Set it up once

Put your phone on a stand aimed at a squared-up stack. Auto-capture every 3 seconds — pull the top book after each green flash. You never touch the phone again.

2

It identifies

It reads the title, issue, year, publisher, cover artist, and characters off the cover, and suggests a condition. Pricing pulls from live eBay listings — not a guess.

3

Export CSV

Pick Whatnot or eBay. CSV downloads with cover photos already hosted. Upload, done. Shopify coming soon.

What's in the box

The things that take an hour per comic, automated.

Cover identification

Title, issue, year, publisher, artist, characters, key-issue flags — extracted from one photo. Barcodes on post-2000 books get decoded for an exact match.

Condition, filled in for you New

Every scan comes back with a condition already filled in on the standard word scale — Near Mint, Very Fine, Fine, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor — read off the cover along with everything else. Take it as-is, or tap once to set your own. Whatever's on the book is what exports.

It's a best guess from the front cover, so it plays it safe — it rounds down between two grades and never claims Mint. Prefer to grade your own? One tap, any book. Note: condition doesn't change the suggested price — that's the market rate for the book itself, and what you charge is your call.

The listing writes itself

Title, description, category, era, publisher, characters, cover artist, format, shipping profile — all filled in for you. The description comes out as a clean field-by-field sheet ready to paste into Whatnot's product form. Realistically the only thing you add is your price.

$

Live eBay pricing

Floor, market, and cap derived from what copies are listed at right now via the official eBay API — refreshed on demand, cached for speed.

Priced per book, not per copy: the range is the same whether your copy is Near Mint or Good. Adjusting for your book's condition is your call — you're the one holding it.

Multi-platform CSV export

Whatnot 21-column bulk import and eBay Seller Hub schema — native and validated. Shopify Products import coming soon.

📷

One photo becomes five

Every capture auto-generates four corner close-ups alongside the full cover — the shots buyers always ask for. Five hosted images per book, image URLs already filled into the CSV. No ImgBB hassle.

Add your own photos

Got a COA, a back cover, or a defect to disclose? Open the book in your inventory and add shots straight from your camera or library — they attach to that listing and ride along in the export.

Async scan pipeline

The phone never waits. Snap as fast as you can load books — identification and pricing run in the background.

🔍

Raw-only comps

Every CGC / CBCS / slabbed listing gets thrown out before it reaches your number — a graded 9.8 comp is useless when you're selling a raw book. Mis-titled books, reprints, and outliers go too.

Questions

How do I get started?

Create an account and subscribe — $15.99/month, billed today. Then open eComicIQ on your phone, sign in, and point your camera at a comic. That's it — nothing to install. Scan as many as you like. Cancel anytime from your account.

Why is there no free trial?

Every scan runs live identification and eBay pricing on our servers, which costs real money per book — a free tier just funds throwaway accounts burning that. So it's one honest price: $15.99/month, everything included, no per-listing fees, no limits. Cancel anytime from your account and you won't be billed again.

Do I need a computer, or does it work on my phone?

Just your phone. Nothing to download or install — you sign in in your phone's browser and your camera becomes the scanner. Shoot a whole stack at full speed while identification and pricing run in the background. Works on iPhone and Android.

What's the fastest way to run a big stack?

Put the phone on a stand and leave it there. Aim it straight down at a squared-up stack — same-size books, edges lined up — and start auto-scan. After each green flash, pull the top book off. As the stack gets shorter the books sit lower and look smaller, so pinch to zoom back in rather than moving the phone. Keeping the phone locked in one position is what keeps every cover landing in the same spot, which is also what keeps the four corner shots clean.

Some of my books need a COA or back-cover photo. How do I handle those?

Run them as their own separate batch. A stack run is meant to be hands-off, so books that need extra shots are easier to keep together than to stop for. Scan that smaller batch first, then open each book in your inventory and tap Scan / upload to add more photos — take a new shot or pull one from your camera roll. The extra photos attach to that specific listing and export with it.

Do I need to bring API keys?

No. eBay pricing, identification, and image hosting all run on our backend. You sign in with an email and start scanning.

What platforms does it export to?

Whatnot (21-column bulk import template) and eBay (Seller Hub Reports CSV). Shopify (Products CSV) is coming soon. Poshmark is link-only for now. More integrations come post-launch based on what founders ask for.

Does it grade my comics?

Two different things get mixed up here. Condition is the word scale — Near Mint, Very Fine, Fine, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor. We fill that in for you on every scan as our best guess from the cover, and you can change it on any book in one tap. Grading is the numeric CGC / CBCS slab world — 9.8, 8.2, and so on. We don't do that and never will — a number off a photo isn't worth anything, and we won't put one on your listing.

Worth knowing what the estimate can and can't see: it's working from the front cover, not the back, the spine interior, or the pages. So it stays conservative, rounds down when it's between two grades, never claims Mint, and leaves the field blank rather than guess when a cover is bagged, glared, or out of focus. Most sellers take what it gives them; if you'd rather grade your own, it's one tap.

What about slabs?

This is a tool for raw books. A slab already has the title, issue, and grade printed on the label — there's nothing to identify and nothing we'd add. Raw is where the actual work is: hundreds of loose books, no labels, and a title that has to be read off the cover. That's what we built.

How much do I actually have to type?

Close to nothing. The title is composed for you and the description comes out fully written — Series Title, Issue Number, Publisher, Publication Year, Character, Universe, Artist, Cover Artist, Format, Era, Variant, all laid out line by line. Category, Vintage/Modern, and the shipping profile are set automatically, and your five photo URLs are already in the file. Condition now comes pre-filled too, as our best guess — change it or leave it. What's really left is your price. If something gets misread, you tap the field and fix it — you're correcting, not writing.

How accurate is the identification?

Very high for in-print and well-known runs. Misses happen on no-cover-art variants, severe damage, or pre-barcode obscure books — every field is tap-to-edit so corrections are one tap away.

What about pricing accuracy?

Pricing pulls current eBay listings — what raw copies are being asked for right now, not closed sales — through the official eBay API, then filters the noise: every graded/slabbed listing is rejected, along with mis-titled books, reprints, merch, and outliers. You get a floor, market, and cap with a confidence rating — not a black-box number. It's a starting point for your own pricing, not an appraisal.

Does condition change the price it suggests?

No — and it's worth knowing why. The floor / market / cap range is what copies of that exact book are listed at right now. It's built from the title and issue, so the numbers come out the same whether you mark your copy Near Mint or Good. Changing the condition on a book will not move its price.

That's deliberate. Two sellers can look at the same Very Fine copy and price it differently depending on their buyers, their stream, and how fast they want it gone — and a listed-price range can't know which of those you are. So we give you what the market is asking for that book and let you make the call. Condition travels with the listing so your buyer knows what they're getting; what you charge for it is yours to set.

Is my inventory data private?

Yes. Your scans, photos, and exports are yours. We don't share aggregated data with other sellers and we don't use your inventory for AI training.
