Revenue, fees, refunds, and order counts are already in Hoard’s monthly TCGplayer sales-report data. This is the seller job for answering “how did we do?” without exporting a CSV and building a pivot table. Before you ask, connect your assistant. For the client-agnostic setup path, see how to connect an AI assistant to your store. You can also use the client guides for Claude, ChatGPT, or Codex.

​
Step 1: Ask for the recap

“Summarize my most recent completed month of TCGplayer sales. Show gross sales, order count, shipping collected, fees, refunds, adjustments, and net sales after fees. If a month is missing, say so.”
For a trend rather than one month, ask:
“Compare my last three covered months of TCGplayer sales. Call out the change in gross sales, order count, refunds, and effective fee rate.”
This is a read. The assistant uses Hoard’s monthly sales data: gross and net sales, product and shipping amounts, total fees, adjustments, refunded orders and fees, and refund totals. It does not change a listing, create a report, or trigger a sync.

​
Step 2: Read what comes back

Expect the requested monthly totals, not a guessed daily or per-card ledger. If you ask about a fee trend, the assistant can compare the current and prior fee rates; treat that as the effect in your recorded sales data, not an announcement that TCGplayer changed its policy.

​
Step 3: Narrow it

Keep going in the same conversation:
“Break it down by month instead of one total.” “Which covered month had the highest refund amount?”
Hoard’s current MCP sales response is a full monthly series. It does not yet provide a per-product-line sales slice, so do not rely on a request such as “just Magic” as a supported breakdown.

​
A gap worth knowing about

Sales reports are recorded by month, and a month only shows up once its report has been uploaded. A missing month is a coverage gap, not a zero-sales month. If a recent period is absent, ask the assistant to identify the missing month, then check that your desktop agent can sync before treating the recap as complete.

​
Fee questions specifically

“How are fees trending, has TCGplayer’s rate moved?” is really two questions in one: a policy question (did TCGplayer change something) and a data question (what is it costing you). Your assistant answers the second one well because it has your actual numbers. For the first, see the dedicated page on asking about fee changes, which covers pointing your assistant at the TCGplayer policy background instead of guessing.
