User Guide
New to breaking, or new to BreakersDNA? You're in the right place. A is a live show where you open sealed cards and buyers receive the ones that match the they bought. BreakersDNA gives you the data and the on-stream overlays; the selling platform (Whatnot, eBay Live, Fanatics Live…) handles payments and shipping.
Every term on this site is defined in plain language in the glossary — and the underlined terms here open it.

Guides
Getting started
Run your first break from start to finish — what to set up, in what order, and the gotchas to avoid.
Playbooks by scenario
Recommended flows for different kinds of sellers — singles-only, Whatnot team breaks, Windows + eBay Live, and repackers.
Understanding the numbers
What EV actually means (and what it doesn’t), floor vs. ceiling, PSA 10 upside, hit thresholds, and why some breaks show a $0 floor on purpose.
Running breaks
Every break format explained, plus the full lifecycle — Draft, Scheduled, Auction, Live, Summary, Done — and exactly what moves a break from one phase to the next.
Inventory & manifests
Cases, single cards, and repacks — how to add product, link a repack by lot number, and why the same manifest can back many breaks.
Live tools & overlays
The live dashboard, multi-person crew mode (operator, scanner, packer), and how to put BreakersDNA overlays on stream with OBS.
For buyers
Follow your breaks, read your receipts, see every card you’ve pulled, and claim your username so your history follows you.
For repackers
Build manifests breakers can trust — declared slots, completeness, lot numbers, and what happens at every status from Pending to Complete.
Accounts & access
Breaker vs. buyer accounts, email verification, approvals, team roles — and what to do when you can’t log in.
