Product Roadmap
Where CIQ is going.
The seller OS is live. Connect eBay, list what you own, sync sold items automatically, and track the real money after every fee, in your browser today. Below is what's live now, what's in progress, and where CIQ goes next.
Phase 1 · Live now
The seller OS
Shipped and working today. The whole loop from owning an item to getting paid for it. Full detail lives on the features page.
- Connect your eBay account and publish owned items to live listings
- Import listings, sales, and purchases with real cost basis
- Hourly autonomous sync of sold items
- To-ship queue with tracking
- True books, per-item and portfolio P&L after every fee
- Tax-ready reports (Schedule D, 1099-K reconciliation)
- Two ledgers, inventory and collection, with a clean wall between them
In Progress
Extending the loop
Features extending the live product without changing what it is. Grouped by the three loops a seller runs: how you capture what you own, how you sell it, how you analyze the result. Plus continuous polish and listening to user feedback.
Capture
Quick capture
Draft mode for logging on the go. Add an item with price, photo, and a one-line note, then expand it to a full entry later at home.
Duplicate detection on entry
Get a warning if you already own a matching item when adding through the wizard. Already exists for imports, extending to single-item adds.
Photo crop tool
Auto-crop photos to center the item and trim the edges. Crop on import or take a fresh photo and crop in-app. Slab crop for graded cards today.
Supply cost tracking
Track supplies (sleeves, top loaders) and shipping supplies (mailers, tape, label paper) so they hit your real P&L. Today's gap is that $0.50 per shipment never makes it into cost basis.
Sell
Bulk lister
Optimized titles, listing templates, a bulk lister with fee preview, and bulk export. One umbrella feature on top of the one-click listing that already works.
Analyze
Expanded portfolio dashboard
Composition by category and attribute, top items by ROI, momentum indicators, and a value chart over time.
Sold archive analytics
Best flips, worst flips, average hold time, and hold-time vs ROI correlation, with breakdowns by category and attribute.
Set completion tracking
For cards, see which items in any set you own and your completion percentage, built on a comprehensive checklist database covering every set and parallel.
Future Versions
Where CIQ goes next
Each version below is a real product change, not a feature batch. We version when CIQ becomes something different.
Next
Category expansion
Planned. CIQ for collectibles, plural.
Same engine, broader scope. The loop (own it, list it, sell it, track the money) already does not care what the item is. Expansion is adding a knowledge pack per category, not building a new product. Cards are the hardest category, so everything after is downhill.
- Per-category identity and attributes (sneaker brand and size, watch movement, comic grade)
- Per-category cost basis labels and entry flows
- Multi-category inventory and collection views
- The card experience preserved while new categories slot in cleanly
Phase 2
The intake agent
Future. Automating the front of the loop.
Point your phone at a pile of items and the agent identifies them, values them, photographs them, titles them, prices them, and lists them. It removes the friction at the front of the same loop. Build the floor first, automate the intake later.
- Photo-to-listing intake, one item or a whole pile
- Automatic identity, title, and category from an image
- Suggested price at list time from real sold data
- The same books, financial wall, and sync on the back end
Later
Automation and multi-channel
Future. Less manual, more channels.
Once the loop is fast and trustworthy, take the manual work out of it. Handle price drops, relists, and offers on a schedule, and publish beyond eBay to the other places your items sell.
- Auto price-drops and relists on your rules
- Offer handling without babysitting each listing
- Publish to more channels than eBay
- Sync results back into one set of books
Anti-Roadmap
The no list
Saying no is as important as saying yes. Most failed product roadmaps die from scope creep, not a shortage of features. These are traps we won't build.
AI grading
Every other app has it and it's wrong half the time. Trust over feature parity.
A value-tracking product
We don't sell you a number to watch. Catalog data exists to make listing fast, not to be the product. We compete on workflow, not price data.
NFTs and digital collectibles
Cycle is over. Attention is elsewhere.
Becoming a marketplace
We don't take custody, hold escrow, or run the transaction. eBay is the marketplace. We're the back office.
Auction tools and sniping
Out of focus for our user base.
Live breaks and streaming
Different product, different audience.
Social network features
Only after we have an audience that wants them.
Selling your data
Your collection, your costs, your sales. We never sell, license, or syndicate user data. We make money from subscriptions, period.
Spam upgrade prompts
No 'Upgrade Now!' modals. If you hit a tier limit, you'll see a single quiet message, not a marketing pop-up.
Shipping rough
Better to ship one feature that works than five that need fixes. We'd rather hold something back than push it broken.
Have an idea?
We listen to users. The most consistent requests shape what gets built next.
