Frequently Asked Questions about pp-ebay

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check eBay sold prices and analyze market trends for items I want to sell?▼

Monitor active eBay auctions by using the `ebay-pp-cli auctions` command with filters like `--has-bids` and `--ending-within`. This finds valuable bidding opportunities filtered by bid count, ending time, and condition.

Do I need to install any dependencies before I can track eBay auctions and watchlists?▼

Yes, you must install the `ebay-pp-cli` binary first using `npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press install ebay --cli-only`. The Skill requires this CLI tool to be installed and verified before performing resale research or live auction tracking.

Can I manage my personal eBay watchlist to stay updated on preferred listings?▼

Yes, the Skill provides watchlist management capabilities allowing you to view and manage personal eBay watchlists. This keeps you updated on preferred listings and supports informed buying strategies.

What's the best way to find eBay auctions ending soon that already have bids?▼

Use `ebay-pp-cli auctions "item" --has-bids --ending-within 1h` to find active eBay auctions ending soon. This filters by bid count and ending time to identify valuable bidding opportunities.

What are the limitations of using CLI commands for eBay market analysis?▼

The Skill relies entirely on the `ebay-pp-cli` binary for data retrieval, meaning CLI installation and verification are mandatory. Without the CLI tool installed, no market analysis, auction monitoring, or watchlist management functions can be performed.
