Frequently asked

You snap a photo. Inky cleans it up, reads the tags, writes the listing, and suggests a fair price — then gets that listing ready for each place you sell. The slow, fiddly parts of reselling, done for you. And if you're unsure about anything, Inky explains it in plain English.

Inky doesn't pour your item into one generic template. For each marketplace we support, Inky keeps a maintained profile of how that platform actually works — its title format, the structured fields it requires, the tags it uses, how it expects pricing and photos, and most importantly what its search and ranking system rewards. When you generate a listing, Inky tailors the title, description, fields, tags, price guidance, and photo set to that marketplace's rules — not a one-size-fits-all draft. Two things stay constant: every listing is honest about condition and every visible flaw, and Inky isn't a one-time build — as the marketplaces change and develop, so does Inky. We do the hard research on listing rules and trends so you don't have to keep relearning each platform yourself.

Yes. Inky's own engine does the work — cleaning your photos in our own studio, reading your tags, writing each listing, and pricing from what comparable items actually sold for. It's tuned for resale and built to be honest about an item's real condition — not a front-end for someone else's chatbot.

No. Cross-listers take one listing and push it everywhere at once. Inky is the one inventory behind everything you sell. You can cross-list with her, but we have found the best results come from putting the right items on the right marketplaces at the right time — every marketplace is unique and sells different things better. Inky helps you find that home and writes the listing the way that marketplace wants it.

Where a marketplace allows it (like eBay), Inky can post directly. Elsewhere it gets your listing fully ready and walks you through posting in a tap or two — you're always in control of what goes live. We won't do anything that risks your accounts.

Start free with 8 Pearls — no card. Plans are $4.99, $9.99, $19 or $39 a month and come with 50, 100, 250 or 600 Pearls. Pearls are Inky's credits: everything Inky does for you spends them, and the everyday work is batched so one Pearl goes a long way — 64 photos cleaned in Photo Studio, 64 items filed in Intake, or 16 questions to Ask Inky. Writing a listing or checking a price is one Pearl; the deep studio photo polish is two. Every plan includes the full toolkit; the only difference is how many Pearls you get. On the free eight, your next step is a plan. Once you're a member you can also top up any time, and bought Pearls never expire. We keep the prices as fair as we can; margins in this business are tight.

That's exactly what Inky Item Capture is for — it's the organized place to keep them. Shoot an item from every angle inside Inky and every photo is filed against that one item, with your own notes about it, instead of a thousand near-identical pictures scattered through your camera roll with no way to tell which sweater was which. Inky looks after them for as long as you like: list from them whenever you're ready, and the moment you want them on your phone, “Save all to Photos” puts the whole set back in a tap. They're your photos — Inky just keeps them tidy. And anything you pick from your library is copied, never deleted; Inky doesn't touch what's already on your phone.

No — that's the whole point. Inky is built for people who are great at reselling but don't want to fight with software. Everything is plain language, and Inky explains any step you're not sure about.

Your data lives in Inky's own storage, isolated from everything else. We don't sell your information.

Live. The full loop works today — snap a photo, get cleaned shots, a written listing, and a price from real sold comps. Inky is young and improves every week, so if you hit a rough edge, tell us and we'll fix it fast.
