I Built My First Extension to Help Me Do eBay Research!

[abstract-print]

I built a thing! 
I've been selling on eBay around 15 years now. And recently over the last year I've been learning some coding & this year I decided to build something that would help me run my ebay business. Something that would help with research. 

Its a proud moment for me because I've never built anything like this before. The extension allows me to check stock levels quickly, make calculations instantly & check if the price has recently changed. 

I've really enjoyed doing this. So, if anyone has any ideas that I could add to my little project I'd love to hear it!

Please tell us more.  Did you code in PHP?   How are you interacting with eBay on the back end?  The API?  Or are you manipulating the code inside the browser?

Agree with @fbusoni ---would love to hear some details!

And by the way, welcome back, @fbusoni

Perhaps you should apply for a job at eBay,

They could use some help, but the commute to San Jose may be a deterrent😊

He needs to stay far away from Ebay, he actually gets real things done that are useful for sellers.

[buyselljack2016]

That's my point.

He could show they the way to do things that are helpful🤣

"Perhaps you should apply for a job at eBay."

Seems to me this guy might be a little overqualified for that gig.

If you go to the Google Chrome Web Store, and type "eBay" into the search box, you will be presented with a list of Chrome browser extensions that provide all sorts of functionalities, similar to that which the OP seems to have devised.  

NOTE: obviously anything you download from that Google store should be scanned for viruses... and read the fine print before you download and use to make sure that you are familiar with all the nefarious capabilities of the extension in question (logging keystrokes, copying what's on your clipboard, accessing your other apps -- one of the features of DeepSeek, for example).

Largely would be a waste of time.  They care not what a whole large group of sellers need working on their site, they won't care what one little solo developer thinks. 🙂
