I'm seeking a skilled developer to create a listing automation tool for eBay. The primary focus is on automating product uploads. Key Requirements: - Develop a tool to automate product uploads to eBay. - Ensure the tool is user-friendly and integrates seamlessly with eBay's existing platform. Ideal Skills and Experience: - Proven experience in developing automation tools, especially for e-commerce platforms. - Strong understanding of eBay's API and listing requirements. - Ability to create intuitive user interfaces. - Background in inventory management systems is a plus. Developer Brief — "The Reseller's Studio" → eBay-linked, high-volume listing platform 1. Summary I run a vintage clothing resale business listing on eBay UK at volume — around 100 listings a day. I have a working tool, The Reseller's Studio, that prepares an eBay listing from photos of a garment (title, description, item specifics, measurements, SKU, price). It currently runs as a web app and produces everything ready to copy and paste into eBay. I want a developer to build this into a proper platform that: links to my eBay account and publishes listings live (not copy/paste, and not draft-only — I want them to go live, ideally with an option to hold as a draft when I choose); automates the product image step via an image-AI API (ghost mannequin / background removal) so it happens in-flow rather than via a separate manual tool; suits high volume and a small team — I want to delegate the actual deployment to an assistant. Given the volume and team use, I want this as a web application used in a desktop browser, responsive so it also works on a phone. See §6. The existing front end and its logic can be reused; the main new work is the eBay integration, the image-API integration, a backend, multi-user/queue handling, and bulk/live publishing. 2. What exists today (the starting point) A self-contained web app — [login to view URL] plus [login to view URL], a service worker and icons. Plain HTML/CSS/vanilla JavaScript, no build step, no framework. (I will provide the full source as a zip.) Four steps: Step 1 — Garment details: two-part SKU (Box + Item, joined into one custom label), price, department, category, era, condition, material (multi-select; several = a blend), size and size type, measurement diagrams with labelled arrows per garment type (plus a user-uploadable custom diagram), and seller notes. Step 2 — Photos: gallery (add, reorder, light auto-enhance, up to 24), export/share of 1600×1600 JPGs. Step 3 — Ghost mannequin: currently a manual hand-off to Snappyit. To be replaced — see §5. Step 4 — AI listing: Anthropic API generates title (≤80 chars), item specifics and description from the photos, reading the brand/care label for brand, size and fibre composition. Includes a "save to batch / export CSV" worklist (SKU-first columns) as an interim measure. 3. What I want built Core eBay account linking — authorise the platform to act on my eBay account (one-time consent, persists). Publish live to eBay — create a live listing populated with title, description, item specifics/aspects, price, condition, category, photos, and the SKU as eBay's "Custom label (SKU)". Provide a per-item option to save as a draft instead of going live. Field mapping — app fields → eBay fields: category, condition values, item specifics → aspects, two-part SKU → custom label. Photo upload — upload the gallery images as listing pictures (1600×1600, in order). Sold-order SKU lookup — retrieve sold orders and show the item's SKU/custom label so I can find the right physical box. Image processing (replaces the manual Snappyit step) Integrate an image-AI API to produce the ghost-mannequin / clean product image automatically as part of the flow. Default candidate: Photoroom's Ghost Mannequin API (part of its Image Editing API). Please keep the integration provider-agnostic so it can be swapped, and before committing, trial the chosen provider on a sample of my actual garments (which include knitwear, silk and dark/complex pieces, where general-purpose tools can be weaker) against at least one apparel-specialist alternative (e.g. a fashion-focused ghost-mannequin API, or fal.ai-hosted models). Account for per-image credit costs at ~3,000 images/month. High volume & team use Multiple users — at least two roles: me/staff preparing items, and an assistant publishing them. Simple per-user login. A stored, shared queue of prepared listings (saved centrally, not just one browser), shown as a list/grid, assignable, reviewable and publishable by the responsible person. The queue should lead with the SKU as the first/identifying column, then title, price, status. Built for ~100 listings/day — fast keyboard entry, batch actions (publish selected), and a publishing route suited to volume (see §4). Security Move the Anthropic key, the image-API key and the eBay credentials/tokens to a backend; the client must never hold secrets. The backend handles eBay OAuth, token storage/refresh, and all third-party calls. 4. Technical notes eBay (developer will know current details): eBay developer account + application keyset (App ID / Cert ID / Dev ID); sandbox then production. Production listing access needs eBay approval — factor in lead time. OAuth 2.0 (authorisation-code grant) user tokens with refresh, scoped for selling. Publishing — please advise which suits ~100/day live: Sell APIs (per item): Inventory API (inventory item keyed by SKU → offer → publish), Account API for business policies, Fulfilment API for sold-order SKUs, image upload to eBay Picture Services. Bulk via File Exchange / Seller Hub CSV (Custom Label/SKU first column) for many at once; needs hosted image URLs and correct category IDs. Marketplace eBay UK (EBAY_GB), currency GBP. Image API: default Photoroom (Ghost Mannequin / Background Removal endpoints; paid plan + credits). Keep provider-agnostic; see §3.6. Backend: required (e.g. Node or Python) — eBay and the image API are server-to-server and secrets must not be in the client. 5. Image step — replacing Snappyit The current Step 3 hands off to Snappyit, which has no public API and so cannot be automated. Replace it with an API-based image provider (default: Photoroom Ghost Mannequin API) integrated into the flow, per §3.6. Snappyit should be dropped from the build. 6. Platform / architecture A web application in a desktop browser for day-to-day work, responsive for phone use. (The current phone-style build was for solo on-the-go use; the team/volume workflow is better as a web app.) Hosting for front end and backend (a small managed host is fine). Include setup and a brief written handover. A Play Store native wrapper is not required; quote separately only if recommended. 7. What I will provide Full source of the existing app (zip). My eBay account; I will register/authorise the eBay developer account and set up business policies (with guidance). Anthropic API billing, and the image-API account/billing once a provider is chosen. A domain (optional) and a small monthly hosting budget. Decisions on defaults: fixed-price vs auction, default postage and returns, live vs draft per item, and user roles/logins. 8. Out of scope (unless separately quoted) Cross-listing to Etsy, Vinted, etc. (possible future phase). Native Play Store app (optional). 9. Note on the existing interim build To bridge the gap, the current app already has a "save to batch / export CSV" worklist (SKU-first columns: SKU, title, price, condition, category, material, size, measurements, item specifics, description; photos shared separately). Treat this CSV shape as the intended data model for the shared queue and any bulk upload. 10. Deliverables & acceptance Deliverables: working web app (front end + backend) deployed; eBay app keyset configured; image-API integrated; multi-user login and a shared listing queue; live publish-to-eBay (per-item and/or bulk) with a draft option; source code; short written handover (run, deploy, renew credentials). Acceptance test: I prepare an item (photos, details, SKU, price); the chosen image API produces the ghost-mannequin/clean image automatically; the item is saved to the shared queue; my assistant opens the queue, reviews it, and publishes it; a correctly populated live eBay listing is created — right title, photos in order, price, condition, item specifics, and the SKU as the custom label — and that SKU is visible to me when the item sells.

Hi — Elias here from Miami. I see you're looking to create an eBay listing automation tool. This can really streamline your listing process, but I understand the challenge: keeping it user-friendly while ensuring it works seamlessly with eBay's API can be tricky. Common issues I’ve seen with similar projects are managing API rate limits and ensuring the tool can handle variations in product listings without crashing. These can lead to frustration if not addressed early on. My approach would be to start with a clear understanding of your specific needs, then develop a prototype that focuses on the core functionality. This allows us to test the most critical features first, ensuring a solid foundation before expanding. I’d love to know more about what specific features you envision for this tool. Also, have you considered how you'll manage inventory updates or potential listing variations? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

This looks like a great fit, I will build your eBay listing automation tool — bulk product uploads, category/item specifics mapping, and a clean dashboard to manage listings without touching eBay directly. One area I will handle carefully: eBay's API enforces strict item specifics per category, and missing or incorrect values trigger listing errors or suppressed visibility in search. I will build a mapping layer that auto-fills required item specifics based on the selected category and flags any gaps before submission — so uploads go through cleanly the first time. Questions: 1) What is your product data source — CSV files, another platform, or a custom database? 2) How many SKUs do you typically upload in a batch, and do you need scheduled/recurring uploads? 3) Do you need multi-marketplace support (e.g. Looking forward to talking through the details.

Hi there, You’re not just asking for an eBay uploader , you’re looking to remove the friction between your inventory and live listings, so uploads become repeatable instead of manual. I’ve built automation tools and API-driven workflows for e-commerce systems, including PHP/MySQL and custom dashboard-style tools that handle product data cleanly and reliably. I can create a user-friendly listing automation tool that maps product fields, validates listing data, and pushes uploads through eBay’s API with a clear workflow that’s easy to manage. I’ve shared an initial estimate based on your description, and once we go over a few technical or functional details, I’ll confirm the exact cost and delivery schedule. If you’d like, I can also structure it around inventory sync, draft review, or bulk upload queues so the process stays simple as your catalog grows. Would you like the tool to create draft listings for review first, or publish directly to eBay after validation? Best regards, Asad

Hi I can build a user-friendly eBay listing automation tool focused on fast, accurate product uploads and smooth integration with eBay’s listing workflow. The main technical challenge is mapping product data correctly to eBay categories, item specifics, images, variations, pricing, shipping, and inventory rules without creating rejected or incomplete listings. I would solve this with eBay API integration, structured product import templates, validation checks, category/item-specific mapping, image handling, and clear error reporting before publishing. I can create an intuitive dashboard where you can prepare products, review required fields, bulk upload listings, track upload status, and update inventory data. The tool can support CSV/Excel import, manual product entry, saved listing templates, draft creation, and publish-ready validation depending on your workflow. I can also include logs, retry handling, and safeguards for API limits or missing required eBay fields. My focus will be a reliable automation system that saves time while keeping listings compliant with eBay requirements. Thanks, Hercules

Hi, I’m a Full-Stack Developer with strong experience building automation tools, e-commerce integrations, and API-driven SaaS systems. I’ve worked with marketplace APIs, high-volume listing systems, backend queue architectures, and secure third-party integrations with OAuth and token management. Your “Reseller’s Studio” expansion is exactly the kind of system I build: a backend-driven workflow tool with eBay API integration (Inventory API / Sell APIs), multi-user roles, shared processing queues, and server-side handling for all sensitive credentials. I also have experience integrating image-processing APIs and designing provider-agnostic services so tools like Photoroom or alternatives can be swapped without rewriting core logic. I can rebuild your current flow into a scalable web application with: * eBay OAuth + live listing automation (or bulk publishing if more efficient for 100/day volume) * Secure backend for API keys and token refresh * Shared multi-user listing queue with SKU-first workflow * Automated image pipeline (ghost mannequin/background removal via API) * High-performance architecture for batch processing and future scaling I also pay close attention to operational workflows (assistant-based publishing, fast data entry, and queue management), not just the technical side. I’d be happy to review your current app and propose the best eBay publishing strategy (Inventory API vs bulk CSV hybrid) before development begins. Looking forward to working with you.

Hi there, I see you're evolving your listing tool into a full publishing platform. Your team prepares listings, the system automates the ghost mannequin photo effect via an API, and items land in a shared queue. An assistant can then publish them live to your eBay UK account, with sold SKUs synced back for fulfillment. Technical approach: A Node.js backend will securely manage all API keys and workflows. We'll use PostgreSQL for the listing queue and user data. For publishing, eBay's Sell Inventory API is ideal for your volume. We can connect your existing JavaScript front-end to this new backend via a REST API. Core modules: A multi-user system with staff/publisher roles. A central queue dashboard to track listings by SKU and status. An abstracted image processing service to easily swap providers. An eBay publisher to handle OAuth, field mapping, and live/draft toggling. Relevant systems: We built Bison360, a custom ERP with deep SKU-level inventory management and e-commerce integration, which is highly relevant to building your product management backend. Implementation strategy: We’ll start with the backend and core eBay publishing flow for one item to prove the connection. Next, we’ll integrate the image API and build the multi-user queue, creating a stable core before adding batch functionality. Regards, Rohit

Automating eBay product uploads can save you hours of repetitive work, and I've built similar e-commerce automation tools before using platform APIs. I'll build a clean web-based tool using Node.js on the backend that integrates directly with eBay's Trading/Inventory API — you'll be able to upload products in bulk from a CSV or spreadsheet, with the tool handling title, description, images, pricing, category mapping, and item specifics automatically. The interface will be simple and intuitive so you or your team can run uploads without technical knowledge. I'll handle eBay's OAuth authentication flow, error handling for failed listings, and logging so you can track what was uploaded and catch any issues. The tool can also be extended later for inventory sync and order management if needed. Can start immediately — let's discuss your typical listing volume and product data format.
