About HobbyDisplay

HobbyDisplay is a one-step solution for individuals or businesses to inventory, display, and/or sell collections on the web... all from a spreadsheet! It's really that simple. Each colletion in HobbyDislay includes up to 3,500 cards and includes image hosting!

One of the best way to get a feel for what HobbyDisplay can do for you is to check out what some of our Hobbyists have done already!

Getting Started

Signing Up

Signing up for HobbyDisplay is easy! Simply fill out the Google Form on our order page and wait 24-48 hours for us to set up your account. Prior to signing up, you will need to have a Google account to edit your Google Sheets spreadsheet and a PayPal account to make recurring annual payments. Your first collection is $50/year, and each collection after that is only $25/year!

Image Hosting

HobbyDisplay is excited to announce that in February 2020 we added the option for users to host their images directly on HobbyDisplay! We know there is a lot of frustration out there with many image hosting sites like Flickr, Imgur, Photobucket, etc. when it comes to having the ability to share your images with others. You won't have those problems with HobbyDisplay!

Editing Your Spreadsheet

Everything you edit in your spreadsheet will be reflected in real time on your Hobbydisplay page (https://hobbydisplay.com/username/). When you first sign up, you will see a few sample entries in your spreadsheet to give you an idea of how the spreadsheet works, but please replace those entries with your own stuff!

Your spreadsheet has tabs across the bottom you can edit to customize and update your HobbyDisplay pages, including: "Database", "Categories and Subcategories", "Profile", and "HobbyDisplay Collections and Other Links". Take a look at each of these, make some changes, and then refresh your HobbyDisplay page to see the changes take place on real time!

Warning:
Do not rearrange your columns as this will throw off the display.

Selling

Fees

At this time, HobbyDisplay currently does not charge anything more than our annual service fee. That is, there is no transaction fee for any sale facilitated on HobbyDisplay! In fact, some users can save a LOT on eBay fees simply by referring people to check out their HobbyDisplay page!

Warning:
Buyers currently need to make note of the item they are purchasing during checkout. This is something we are working to improve, but in the meantime it is a good idea to have different prices for every item just in case the buyer makes a payment without noting what the payment is for.

Buying

Making a Purchase

HobbyDisplay is a service to connect hobbyists, buyers, and sellers. When you purchase an item from the HobbyDisplay website, please be aware that you are not making the purchase from HobbyDisplay. Do your homework, make sure the seller is reputable, and please understand that under no circumstance is HobbyDisplay liable should you have any trouble with your transaction.

Reporting a Problem

If you have trouble with a seller, we'd like to know! HobbyDisplay will reach out to the seller and let them know that they may be in violtation of our terms of service and may be temporarily suspended or disallowed from using the HobbyDisplay service.

Tips and Tricks

When Stuff Goes Wrong

If something happens to go wonky between your Google Sheet and your page, you can go to File > See Revision History, click a previous version you know was working, and then click the green button that appears that says "Restore this verison." That will bring you back online!

Cancelling Service

If at any time you are no longer interested in using the HobbyDisplay service you can simply cancel your recurring payment to HobbyDisplay from your PayPal account. Please be aware, however, that you are charged annually and that prorated refunds will not be issued from the date of cancellation. Full refunds are offered for those that try HobbyDisplay and decide it isn't for them after ten days or less.

After notice of cancellation is received your collection will no longer display on HobbyDisplay. However, you will still have full access to editing your spreadsheet, and your can rejoin HobbyDisplay at anytime using your same username and spreadsheet!

Terms of Service

There's not a lot to say here for now, other than don't break the law and don't be a jerk!
