Automate eBay

Turn the repetitive eBay work you do by hand (search a keyword, open a listing) into a workflow Writ runs for you, on your own account, on a schedule or on demand.

why

Stop doing eBay by hand

The eBay tasks you repeat (search a keyword, open a listing, read price and bids) are exactly the kind of work a computer should do. But eBay only exposes part of it through an API, and the flow runs behind a login and dynamic pages. eBay has developer APIs, but they require app registration and approval, and many auction and storefront screens are easier to reach through the browser.

Writ closes that gap. Record the eBay task once (or describe it to an AI session) and Writ runs it for you in a real browser, on your own account. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

eBay tasks Writ can run for you

Each of these is a real eBay action, captured into a workflow and run on your own account.

{ }search a keyword
{ }open a listing
{ }read price and bids
{ }watch an item
{ }export search results

Workflows extract structured fields such as item price, bid count, time left, seller rating along the way: typed data you can route anywhere.

Three ways to build your eBay automation

Pick whichever fits the task. All three produce the same workflow Writ can run for you.

✦Record itDo the eBay task once in a real browser (search a keyword, then open a listing) and the recorder captures every step into a reusable workflow.
✦Describe it to AITell an AI session your goal on eBay in plain language; it drives the live page and builds the workflow for you, no recording needed.
✦Discover itLet API discovery watch eBay's own network calls as you browse, then turn the underlying requests into a fast, headless workflow.

Built on the same engine as the recorder and workflows, with 30+ step types.

Login, 2FA, and dynamic pages on eBay

The reason eBay is tedious to automate is the same reason most tools can't. Writ handles it.

Writ signs into your own eBay account through a Persona and runs inside that authenticated session for actions the API does not cover cleanly.

Run the eBay automation on your terms

On a schedule, on demand, or the instant something changes. You choose the trigger.

✦On a scheduleRun the eBay task every hour, every morning, or any cadence. No one has to remember to do it.
✦On demandTrigger a single run from the dashboard, a webhook, your code, or an AI agent, whenever you need it.
✦On a changeWatch eBay for price drop or new listing for a query and fire the automation the instant it happens.
  1. 1
    Build the eBay workflow once

    Record the task, describe it to AI, or discover it from the network. Writ captures each step, including login and 2FA, into a workflow you can edit.

  2. 2
    Run it on your terms

    Run it on demand, on a schedule, or fire it from a Monitor when eBay changes. It runs on your own eBay account, in a real browser.

  3. 3
    Call it from anything

    The same workflow is a REST endpoint at /v1/ebay/run and an MCP tool, so your code, a no-code tool, or an AI agent can trigger the eBay automation too.

Trigger the eBay automation on a change

Monitor eBay for price drop, new listing for a query, auction ending soon and run your workflow the moment it happens.

Monitors check as fast as every 10s (10s on Enterprise). A detected change becomes a trigger that runs your eBay automation in seconds. Monitor eBay ▸

Local / BYO agent

No compute charge. The agent runs on your hardware, so it can reach eBay even from an intranet or VPN-only network, and your AI keys never leave your machine.

Metered by running time at $0.12 per browser-hour, drawn from your plan’s included usage. No infrastructure to manage.

The same eBay automation is an API and an MCP tool

Automating eBay for yourself and calling it from software are the same workflow. Once you have it, publish it as a REST endpoint at/v1/ebay/run and a matching MCP tool, so your code or an AI agent can trigger the eBay task too.

Automating eBay: questions

How do I automate eBay?
Record the eBay task once in the recorder (search a keyword, open a listing, read price and bids) or describe your goal to an AI session. Writ turns it into a workflow it can run for you on a schedule or on demand, on your own eBay account. It usually takes minutes, not a backend project.
Is it allowed to automate eBay this way?
Use Writ on your own eBay account and on public listings you have the right to access. Respect eBay's Terms of Service. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.
Does eBay automation work behind login and 2FA?
Writ signs into your own eBay account through a Persona and runs inside that authenticated session for actions the API does not cover cleanly. Writ handles TOTP and mailbox-OTP two-factor through Personas, so the automation runs inside your own authenticated eBay session.
Can I run the eBay automation without writing code?
Yes. Recording and AI sessions need no code at all. If you do want to trigger it from software, the same workflow is a REST endpoint and an MCP tool, but that is optional.
Where does it run, and what does it cost?
Run it on your own machine with a local or BYO agent for no compute charge, useful when eBay is only reachable from your network or VPN. Or run it on metered cloud at $0.12 per browser-hour, drawn from your plan’s included usage. Start free.
