Scanner-barcode reader Type/use help

[frontroguy]

Hi, 

I am a seller that deals with items that mainly have barcodes. I use the barcode info to help set pricing, and when I am listing. 

I use a laptop for my listings, and am wondering if there is a fixed barcode scanner that I could attach to the lap top that will drop the UPC # wherever I may have the cursor. Be it in the search bar, or UPC section of a listing.  

Is there one type better than another, pitfalls of using etc?  

Thanks in advance for the recommendations!

Do a Google search for barcode scanners.  Then after reading about them, do a search and see if those brands are being sold on ebay.

Finding them is not an issue. Finding out if they can do what I am asking is the challenge. Do you use one in the manner I was suggesting?

You might want to try asking this question on the Selling board. There are only a handful of mentors that read or respond here, and you are much more likely to get a response from a post on the Selling board compared to here if you are looking for someone with experience using such devices in the manner you describe.
