eBay store manager with draft listings and numbered decisions
A manager session hands work to two helpers. One turns photos dropped in a folder into unpublished eBay drafts priced from comparable listings and your cost basis. The other reads traffic, watchers and age on active listings and recommends price or title changes or ending a listing. You reply with the numbers you approve.
What it does
- Identifies each item from photos and notes, then picks category and item specifics
- Prices from comparable listings, fees and your minimum profit, then creates an unpublished draft
- Reviews active listings against 30 day traffic, watchers, age and comps
- Writes a report with numbered decisions and logs what was applied
Your approval boundaries
Approval requiredThese actions always wait for your yes:
- Publishing any draft
- Changing a price or title on a live listing
- Ending a listing
You decide what happens next.
More about this workflow
This setup is for online sellers and resale shops juggling listings, orders and buyers. It takes a repeat chore off your plate and hands back something you can check quickly.
First, it identifies each item from photos and notes, then picks category and item specifics. Next, it prices from comparable listings, fees and your minimum profit, then creates an unpublished draft. Then it reviews active listings against 30 day traffic, watchers, age and comps. Finally, it writes a report with numbered decisions and logs what was applied. It works with your marketplace api, photo storage and spreadsheets, each on its own login with limited access.
You get the prep work done and waiting for you. The agent stops and asks for your yes before publishing any draft, changing a price or title on a live listing and ending a listing, and says plainly if a step cannot be undone.

Steps
Do these in order. Test on old data before it touches live work.
- 1Connect eBay with its own login, not yours. Grant read scopes for orders and listings.
- 2Set up Photo storage. Keep it to read-only access to one photo folder.
- 3Connect Google Sheets with its own login, not yours. Grant access to the single sheet it needs.
- 4Paste the prompt where your harness takes instructions. See the note under the Copy button.
- 5Do a dry run on old or test data first. Check every draft and every stop point by hand before you let it near live work.
- 6Read its log after the first real run. Only widen access once a week of runs looks clean.
Safeguards and trust score
The score describes this example setup’s access, approval boundaries, ability to undo changes, and scope.
Can draft things that send or spend, so it sits close to risky actions.
Waits for a yes on: publishing any draft, changing a price or title on a live listing, ending a listing.
Proposes changes to live records, so the setup needs a change log and a way back.
Runs on its own login across 3 tools. Fewer connections means a smaller blast radius.
How to raise it
- Access: Take away its ability to send, post or spend. Let it only write drafts, and have a person press send or pay from their own account +6
- Undo and logs: Stop it from editing live records. Have it write the change as a proposal you apply, and keep a log of every change with a way to roll it back +3
- Scope: Cut it down from 3 connected tools to the 2 it needs most, each with its own limited login instead of your full account +2
Do all of these to reach 89, up from 78.

- Etsy listing review with one confirmed edit at a time
Reads a page of your active Etsy listings and suggests better titles, descriptions and tags, checked against Etsy's format limits. It starts read only. A change is applied only after you confirm the exact edit, then it reads the listing back and writes a local audit entry.
- Store price and stock changes with a preview you approve
Answers questions about your store from live data, such as low stock or failed orders, and prepares price, sale and stock changes as previews. A change is applied only after you approve it, the approval works once and expires, and code blocks discounts over your limit. Every change lands in a local audit log.
- Suppressed Amazon listing fixes with preview and approval
When a listing is suppressed, inactive or not buyable, the agent scans its status and issues and finds the cause. It drafts the fix and shows you a preview, and nothing changes until you approve.
