The AI audited my eBay store, found 28 listings going nowhere, and sold a bundle for me

A man who flips vintage items on eBay connected the AI to his store. The AI found 28 listings with views but no sales, worked out that eBay was really taking 16% in fees, and published a bundle of two vases that sold within a week.

How it works

  1. Built a small connector with AI over a few weeks so the AI could read his eBay store, Asked which listings had views but no sales and got 28 back, Repriced a carved wood bird sculpture the same day, Asked what eBay took last quarter and learned his real fee rate was 16%, $93 on $587 of sales, Asked the AI to bundle two matching vases; it grouped them, made a combined photo and published the listing, Added a fee checker that later caught a listing overcharging him for two months

Why it’s worth knowing

The AI did not just answer questions about the shop. It published a real listing to eBay from the chat, photo included, and the bundle sold within a week.
