Listings from photos

A listing is a promise. Every measurement, material and flaw in it is something a buyer can return the item over. Claude writes a good first draft quickly. You make it true.

What to give it

• The photos, including the label and every flaw.
• What you measured. Claude can't measure from a photo.
• The grade, and the flaws in your words.
• The platform, so it knows how long the title can be and which item specifics the listing form asks for.

The prompt

Draft an eBay listing for S0014. Photos attached. Grade B: light wear on the cuffs, no holes. Measurements: pit to pit [21] in, length [29] in.

Give me:
1. A title using the words a buyer would search, brand first, within eBay's title length.
2. Item specifics as a list: brand, size, color, material, style, and anything else the category asks for.
3. A short description: what it is, condition in plain words with every flaw, measurements, and nothing else.

Only use what's in the photos or what I've told you. Anything you'd need to guess (material, year, model) goes in as [check] for me to fill in.

Check before you list

• Every [check] is filled in or deleted. Never published.
• The flaws match the photos. All of them.
• The material is from the label, not from how it looks.
• No claims you can't back up. "Vintage", "rare", "authentic", "never worn". If you can't prove it, cut it.
• The title says what it is, not how excited you are.

Batches

When you have a pile to list, give Claude several items in one chat, one message each, and ask for the drafts as rows: SKU, title, then the description. You still check each one. Batching saves typing, not checking.
