Looking Up Prices

How eBay lookup works, how to interpret market price guidance, and why live listings can vary.

How to run a price lookup

The Scan tab helps you look up marketplace prices from a Nike shoe box label. It uses the same scanning technology as stock control, then searches for comparable listings.

  1. Open the Scan tab.
  2. Place one Nike label inside the scanner frame.
  3. Press the shutter button.
  4. Review the detected product details.
  5. Wait for comparable listings and price guidance.

What information is used

SneakerScan may use:

  • Barcode
  • Style code
  • Model
  • Size
  • Colourway

The style code is especially useful because it identifies the product more precisely than the model name alone.

Manual entry

If scanning is not practical, you can enter product details manually. If you provide a style code, SneakerScan can still use it to improve the lookup and, when available, retrieve a cleaner colourway.

Understanding price guidance

Marketplace prices vary. Listings can differ by size, condition, location, demand, fees, and whether the seller is pricing for a quick sale or willing to wait.

SneakerScan is designed to give practical guidance, not a guaranteed sale price. Use listing details and your own margin requirements before buying, listing, or repricing stock.

Why results can vary

  • Marketplace inventory changes throughout the day.
  • Some listings use incomplete or inconsistent titles.
  • Sizes may be missing from marketplace data.
  • Similar models can share words in their names.
  • A rare size can price differently from common sizes.

Saving useful scans

When a lookup is useful, save it to history so you can return to it later.
