The Accept List and the ScoutIQ 2 Buy List can both help you move from sourcing to listing, but they are designed for different parts of that workflow.
The Accept List is found in the Analytics tab of the ScoutIQ app and shows the items your triggers marked as Accept during your selected timeframe.
The Buy List is found in ScoutIQ 2 and is designed to help you track the items you actually choose to purchase, along with the details needed for listing later.
If you have used the Accept List before, think of the Buy List as a more intentional, more editable workflow for actual purchases.
What is the ScoutIQ Accept List?
The Accept List is a downloadable record of the items your triggers marked as Accept during the timeframe selected in the Home tab of the ScoutIQ 2 app, and the Analytics tab of the ScoutIQ app.
You can use it to:
review accepted scans from a specific timeframe
look back at your accepted scan history
export those accepted scans as a CSV file
This can be helpful when you want a record of the items that met your trigger criteria at the time of scan.
Important: The Accept List reflects items that were scanned and marked as Accept by your triggers regardless of whether or not you purchased them.

What is the ScoutIQ 2 Buy List?
The Buy List in ScoutIQ 2 is designed to help you track the items you actually buy while sourcing.
Instead of exporting every accepted scan and editing the file later, you can add an item to your Buy List when you decide to purchase it.
While adding that item, the Buy List uses the Add to Buy List workflow to allow you to record important listing details such as:
cost per unit
quantity
source or supplier
condition
Amazon tax code
tax rate
supplier discount
expiration date, when relevant
notes
This makes the Buy List a more streamlined workflow for sellers who want to prepare items for listing with less cleanup later.
Key differences between the Accept List and the Buy List
The Accept List is based on accepted scans
The Accept List shows items your triggers marked as Accept during the timeframe you selected in the Home tab in ScoutIQ 2 and the Analytics tab in ScoutIQ.
That means it may include:
duplicate scans
multiple copies scanned separately
items you scanned but did not end up purchasing
It is useful for reviewing accepted scans and exporting that data, but manual cleanup will be necessary before listing.
The Buy List is based on actual purchase decisions
The Buy List is built around the items you intentionally choose to add after deciding to purchase them.
That means it can be a better fit when you want to:
track only the items you actually bought
record purchase details while sourcing
edit your list in the app before exporting
reduce spreadsheet cleanup before importing into a listing workflow
Which one is better?
Neither tool is wrong. They simply serve different purposes.
The Accept List is a helpful analytics-based export of accepted scans.
The ScoutIQ 2 Buy List is generally the better workflow when your goal is to move from sourcing to listing with fewer manual steps, because it allows you to record key details at the time of purchase and edit the list in the app before export.
