Fanvault Sell button and Account menu is the redesigned navigation that puts launching a new auction one click away and consolidates Settings, Alerts, and your Storefront into a single, cleaner menu. If you have been hunting through nested submenus to start a drop or check a fan alert, the new layout cuts those workflows down to a single tap from anywhere in the dashboard.
⚡ Key Takeaways
- The Sell button now sits at the top of the sidebar as a pink CTA, one click to launch a new auction, buy-it-now drop, or wishlist add
- The Account menu opens from your avatar and unifies Settings, Alerts, and Storefront in one place
- The listing composer remembers your last-used defaults, so repeat drops take seconds
- An Alerts badge on the avatar shows unread bids, tips, paid DMs, and wishlist gifts at a glance
- Keyboard shortcuts (G+A for Alerts, G+S for Settings, N for new listing) jump you anywhere in the dashboard
Where do I find the new Sell button?
The Sell button now lives at the top of the left-hand sidebar, directly under your profile avatar. It is rendered as a solid pink CTA so you cannot miss it, even on a busy dashboard. On desktop it stays pinned as you scroll, and on mobile it collapses into the bottom navigation bar so your thumb can reach it without stretching.
Whatever page you land on inside Fanvault, whether that is your inbox, your feed, or your earnings hub, the Sell button is always one tap away. That matters when an auction idea hits you between fan DMs and you want to capture the moment before it cools off.
How do I launch an auction in one click?
Click Sell, and Fanvault drops you straight into the listing composer. You pick the listing type (auction, buy-it-now drop, or wishlist add), upload your media, set a reserve price, and choose your end time. The composer remembers your last-used defaults, so repeat drops take seconds instead of minutes.
For authenticated memorabilia, Fanvault prompts you to add provenance metadata (signed, stream-worn, condition notes) inline. That metadata flows into the public listing page automatically and signals to buyers that the item is verified, which historically lifts close rates on one-of-one drops.
What lives in the new Account menu?
The Account menu opens from your avatar in the top-right corner and groups everything you need to manage yourself as a creator. The three primary destinations are:
- Settings: profile, payouts, Stripe Connect status, Telegram automation toggles, and notification preferences.
- Alerts: a real-time feed of new bids, won auctions, paid DMs, tips, and wishlist gifts.
- Storefront: a one-tap jump to your public Fanvault profile so you can see exactly what fans see.
The old layout buried Settings inside a gear icon and split Alerts across two separate inboxes. The new menu pulls them into one place, alongside sign-out and the account switcher if you run multiple creator profiles.
How do I jump to Settings, Alerts, or my Storefront faster?
Open the Account menu, then tap the destination you want. Each item loads as a full page, not a modal, so you can deep-link or share a URL with a manager or editor. Alerts also surfaces a small numeric badge on the avatar itself when you have unread activity, which means you can triage at a glance without opening the menu first.
If you live on keyboard shortcuts, press G then A to jump to Alerts and G then S to jump to Settings from anywhere in the dashboard. The Sell button itself has a shortcut, too: press N (for new listing) to fire up the composer.
Why did Fanvault redesign the sidebar?
Creators were telling us the old nav buried the two actions that actually drive revenue: starting a new listing and reacting to fan activity. Burying a Sell flow three clicks deep is fine for a generic tools dashboard, but Fanvault is a storefront. Selling should be the loudest button on the page.
Pulling Settings, Alerts, and Storefront into a single Account menu also reduces the cognitive load when you are bouncing between creator mode and the "what does my profile look like right now" check. One menu, three destinations, no hunting.
The end result: more time inside the listing composer, less time wandering through nav. With Fanvault's 8% platform fee already doing the heavy lifting on your margin, every minute you reclaim from menu navigation is a minute you can spend on the drop, the auction, or the fan reply that actually moves the needle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the new Sell button on mobile?
On mobile, the Sell button collapses into the bottom navigation bar so it stays within thumb reach as you scroll. It is the pink button in the center of the bottom nav, flanked by Feed and Inbox on one side and Storefront on the other. Tapping it opens the same listing composer you get on desktop, with the same defaults and the same media picker.
Can I customize what the Account menu shows?
Not yet. The Account menu surfaces Settings, Alerts, Storefront, account switcher, and sign-out by default, and the order is fixed in this release so the muscle memory works the same across every creator's dashboard. Customization is on the roadmap, and you can vote on which menu items you want to pin from your Settings page.
Does the Sell button work for wishlist items, or just auctions?
It works for all three Fanvault listing types: auctions, buy-it-now drops, and wishlists. When you click Sell, the first step in the composer asks which type you are creating, and the rest of the form adapts to fit. Wishlists are unique to Fanvault among the major creator platforms, so the Sell button is the fastest way to add one when a fan asks for something specific.
What happens to my existing listings after the redesign?
Nothing changes for your active listings. The redesign only touches navigation, not your storefront, bids, watchers, or pending payouts. If you had a draft in progress before the update, it is waiting for you in the new composer under Drafts.
