ebay already makes price suggestions in the listing form, at least for some things. Given what I sell, I generally ignore them. But yes, that's "magic"!
"From a simple photo, AI can write titles, descriptions and add vital information, which could include product release date, detailed category and sub-category, and can combine with eBay’s other tech to suggest a listing price and shipping cost."
Could this work for some items? Yes. Trading cards are a pretty good example. But for much of what I sell, I remain skeptical. Time will tell.
And frankly, I admit, even if this works really well, what then? More sellers listing more stuff doesn't necessarily mean more buyers wanting to buy all the stuff....in many categories, we already face overwhelming amounts of stuff. Additionally, if even the most uninformed seller can list something with this tool, what about when buyers have questions? Will ebay's "Magic" answer the questions, too? And if not, will the seller know enough about his item to provide a knowledgeable answer?
But, despite whatever reservations I may have, this is coming like a freight train roaring down the tracks, and pretty much every site is under pressure to prove they are using this new "bestest thing in the whole wide world"...ebay is no exception....so, strap in and get ready for the white knuckle thrill ride of the holiday season, as ebay unleashes this probably smack in the middle of Q4....
For this old Luddite, setting up at the flea market looks better every day LOL
