Mainstream script that searches on ebay and ...
 

Hi,
I just finished a script that searches on ebay for different keywords and when the script finds something that fits my search, it sends me an email.

I did that for a local comic book shop, so that they can find the comic books they need for their customers, and I was thinking that maybe it would be a very good idea to open a business where I could get customers to enter what they want to buy into a website, and when the script finds it, it send a mail to the customer.

Do you think a site like that would work?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Logan

Welcome to the board.

Thanks :)

A better idea would be a program that searches ebay for certain keywords, but pull out and generates a page full of links based on a keyword... and hook it up through ebays affiliate program that pays 5 cents per bid on links to specific items.

Doesnt ebay have a search engine? Just kidding sounds cool for some few peeps I guess.

The ebay search engine doesnt mail people when its finds something that people are interesting in, so a lot of people never find what they really want because they just cant search every day by hand, while my bot can ;D

Bingo, this would work if done right. I don't think charging for this service would ever really fly, but the above might.
