Hello I am Deej a small time Pokemon Store owner, first post on e4, always had respect for the prestige and knowledge of e4 and its members but never taken the dive in.
Anyways I made an automation tool to create Ebay Listings from PSA or CGC cert numbers grabbing pictures and what not, and the legend himself @pfm found the tool in the depths of discord. I check the logs of my tool and there are many users a day, however he is one of 3 people ever to hit the donate button. I messaged him to thank him and ask for suggestions, he let me know who he was and gave me some well thought out suggestions, including some UI recommendations. I am engineer that writes ALOT of code, however creativity and artistic talent is nowhere in my genes. I made the changes he suggested about the inner workings of the tool, however said it would take me some time to upgrade the UI. He volunteered his own skills and time to help me out. He quickly made it much more clean, intuitive, and professional.
For anybody that wants to check out the Listing Tool and AWESOME UI UPGRADES feel free, but the real reason for my post is to show appreciation.
So thank you @pfm I am sure people here know your kindness and talent already, but I wanted to publicly THANK YOU.
Welcome, thanks again for the tool. I just made the mistake of opening it on mobile right now and wow it might need different css lool. It’s not really a tool that’s useful on mobile though so probably doesn’t matter
Seems like a great tool for eBay sellers thank you for sharing the platform! I’m not a seller myself, but what happens after your entries generate the excel download. Do you then upload that to EBay and it automatically populates the description?
Thank you! Yep eBay has a mass upload option in the seller portal, it creates drafts and then you can use their bulk editing tool to quickly prep them all to list live. I created an amateur YT video to show how to do it which is linked at the top of the tool’s webpage.
This is super helpful. Thank you for sharing! The tools I’ve run into before this were prohibitively expensive (I’m not going to pay $1/card for listing credits lol) so this is an awesome find. The combo of the barcode scanner also is super interesting. Love to see this type of thing being made.
FYI thanks to the testing from @Tapp the CGC lister is updated and working again for anybody that tried to use it while there was an issue. Keep in mind I am not a dealer for them so I do not get api access so it’s more than 10x slower than the PSA side of the tool.
HI, i came across this thread when hunting down a solution to my need to list faster. the tool from the video does exactly what i need. but i get errored hen i run it.
Certificate 99270547,99270548,99270549: Failed to process batch due to error: Server responded with status 500
is the tool ok to use or am i doing something dumb. But looks like a server error. thanks for any help happy to donate to use the tool
I should have some time to debug what is going on over this holiday weekend. I will say I used the fast(rabbit) one yesterday and it worked fine, so if you can snag the first 100 fast free ones per day it will for sure work. I’m assuming you are hitting the error on the slow version. PSA has been changing a few things so I may need to make a change or two. Will update you when I get that fixed.
im running into issues getting images on my tool now after the changes to the api limit (when using a scraping method i mean). Would be interested to hear what the bug is on your end to see if its something similar to what im seeing. it doesnt really matter to me as im never doing more than a 100 a day but its infuriating me that i cant fix it
If you are in a rush, I am not sure when it resets or how many cards you are trying to do, but the free 100 does refresh daily. I have to compete for them myself on my own tool lol.
at its core its the same thing really, I just happened to already be in the works when you posted this thread. And I’ve added some stuff for my personal preference. Like smarter titles based off the set name, setting the description how I want it, and auto-pricing. We can chat more in dm if you like, I never really plan on monetising mine, I just have it hosted so friends can use it, so I have no problem sharing ideas & things ive found helpful to have
Ooh this would be perfect for somebody that just wants to list a bunch of old random cards not just a range. I may have to snag one.
