# Create your first listing

Turn an inventory card into a sale offer on a connected marketplace.

> Documentation index: https://tcgstats.com/docs/llms.txt

A listing is the offer a buyer sees. The inventory item remains the source of truth for the available quantity.

## Prepare the card

Check that the inventory item has:

- the correct product and variation;
- the correct condition and language;
- enough available quantity;
- a clear image when the marketplace requires one;
- a sensible sale price.

## Create the listing

1. Open **Inventory**.
2. Select the card you want to sell.
3. Choose **Create listing**.
4. Select the connected marketplace or marketplaces.
5. Review the title, price and quantity.
6. Choose whether the listing should follow your pricing rules.
7. Confirm the listing.

Some marketplaces publish immediately. Cardmarket changes are completed by opening the TCG STATS extension on Cardmarket.

## Confirm it is live

Open **Listings** and check the status. A successful listing shows the connected marketplace without an error.

If a listing is waiting or failed, open it to see what needs attention. See [Listing troubleshooting](/docs/troubleshooting/listing-sync) for common causes.

Continue with [Process your first order](/docs/get-started/first-order).
