Anyone sell stuff on ebay? I have an app idea.
I've got a really simple app I'm building for my wife, as she's starting to sell stuff. I was wondering if anyone here sells stuff regularly, and has active listings. My idea is really simple, it's a quick dashboard of your items with a place to comment and share on twitter and facebook. You can use the dashboard to check in on your items, as well as link to from your postings ("see my other auctions"). I have a prototype working, which I'm happy to share. Could this be an affiliate business? Anyone interested in kicking this idea around?
Sounds like a cool idea. I do know there are several platforms currently out there that may be similar or give you ideas:

Good luck and hope this helps.
It was a YC company (Auctomatic) and it was acquired.
I do apps for a living for people. If you'd like to talk, an email address that reaches me is in my profile. (I really wish HN had private messages...)
On that note: You should think about sticking up a email address in your profile kapauldo
It seems that auctomatic is just the app you are looking for.
I'd LOVE something like this for Craigslist!!
Do you plan to take this onward to the iTunes App Store?
