Questions
Will it publish something without me seeing it?
No. Nothing leaves for eBay until you approve a batch, and approving shows every price it's about to commit to first. Sending puts drafts on your account; those aren't public. Publishing is a separate, explicit step, and it's the one thing the app can't undo, so it asks.
What if it gets an item wrong?
Edit any field, or run the item again — new photo of the label, better note from you. A re-run replaces the draft, and it tells you what that costs and what the item loses before it starts. Two things it won't do: rename an item eBay already has, or quietly change a listing that's already live.
Does it know what my thing is actually worth?
It anchors to real sold comparables where the provider can search the web, and to current asking prices in the right eBay category otherwise. When it can't find confirmed sold comps, it says so and blocks approval until you've looked. It's a starting price you review, not a valuation.
Can I tell it something the photos don't show?
Yes — a note on each item, up to 500 characters. “Bought in Tokyo, 2019”, “scratch on the back”, “the box is included”. It's treated as a claim to check rather than a fact, and it goes into the category and price research too, not just the prose.
How does it know which photos are the same object?
Capture times reveal the rhythm of a shoot, and appearance re-merges anything that split — so stepping away mid-shoot doesn't cut an item in half. Photos with no capture time are grouped on appearance alone and flagged as less certain. You can drag photos between items either way.
Do I need to be technical?
Only for the API key, once. Everything after that is buttons.
Is my API key safe?
It's in the macOS Keychain. It's read in the moment a request is made, sent as one header, used for that call, and dropped. It never reaches the part of the app that draws the screen, never goes in a config file, and never appears in a log.
Windows? iPhone? Etsy? Depop?
Not today. macOS and eBay.
What happens when something sells?
Tell the app it's no longer on eBay and the item comes back as a draft you can re-run and re-list. Nothing polls eBay on your behalf.
Who made this?
One person, replacing their own evening job. Furuloop is a single-developer app, built to do the listing chore its author was doing by hand every week.
