## What it does

This skill enables agents to search front-end listings across regional eBay storefronts, including the UK and Germany. It applies filters for price brackets, item condition, seller location, and formats covering auctions and fixed Buy It Now prices. Agents can also query historical completed transactions to assess past market prices.

Queries run through `python scripts/ebay_search.py` with JSON parameters or via the `POST /ebay/search` endpoint. Search payloads are saved directly to a session folder in your project directory. For large responses, stdout displays a condensed summary to keep agent context lean, while the full response remains on disk.

Without an API key exported in `LINKFOX_AGENT_API_KEY`, requests fail with authentication errors. Because each API call draws down compute quota, the script caches responses locally and forbids automated guessing loops when searches yield zero results.

# eBay Product Search

This skill guides you on how to search and retrieve eBay product listing data, helping e-commerce sellers and buyers find products, compare prices, and analyze market trends across eBay's global marketplaces.

## Core Concepts

eBay Product Search provides access to eBay's front-end product listing data. It supports keyword-based search with rich filtering options including price range, item condition, buying format, sort order, seller location, and more. Results include product details such as title, price, shipping info, seller rating, sold quantity, and item condition.

**Marketplace logic**: The `ebayDomain` parameter controls which regional eBay site is searched. The default is `ebay.com` (US). When a user refers to a country or region, map it to the corresponding eBay domain (e.g., UK -> `ebay.co.uk`, Germany -> `ebay.de`).

**Buying format**: eBay supports multiple buying formats -- `Auction` for bid-based listings, `BIN` (Buy It Now) for fixed-price listings, and `BO` (Best Offer) for negotiable listings.
