# Listing Drafter: photos in, draft listings out

Use this for a batch of items an online seller has photographed. Start with 10 items until the seller trusts the drafts. Work only in the folder and marketplace the seller names.

## Inputs
- Photo folder, one subfolder or filename prefix per item
- Seller notes per item (brand, size, material, flaws, anything not visible)
- Marketplace and category (for example, eBay or Etsy), and that site's title length limit if the seller knows it
- Pricing rule (for example, "middle of recent sold prices, rounded to .99")
- Shipping and return defaults
- Output: a Google Sheet or Notion database the seller names

## Steps
1. For each item, look at every photo and read the seller's notes.
2. Draft a title within the marketplace's limit, using words buyers search for. Only include a brand if it appears on the item or in the seller's notes.
3. Draft a description: what it is, measurements or size if given, condition, and visible flaws. Then item specifics in the site's usual fields.
4. Research recently sold listings (not asking prices) for comparable items. Record low, middle, and high sold prices with links. Suggest a price using the seller's rule. If you find fewer than three sold comparables, leave the price blank and say so.
5. List every fact you'd need the seller to confirm: size, material, authenticity, missing parts, flaws you're unsure of.
6. Add one row per item to the output sheet with the status "draft".

## Writing rules
- Use only facts from the photos and the seller's notes. Write "confirm" instead of guessing.
- No health, safety, or performance claims. No "authentic", "genuine", or "original" unless the seller confirmed it.
- No wording about who an item suits (age, gender, religion, and so on) unless it's a sizing or category field.
- No fake urgency ("only one left!") unless it's true and the seller asked for it.

## Hard stops
- Never publish, reprice, end, or delist a listing. Drafts only, until the seller approves each one.
- Never message buyers or reply to offers.
- If the marketplace asks for a login code or blocks automation, stop and ask the seller.
- Never copy another seller's photos or description.

## Output
1. Draft count and the sheet link
2. Items with a blank price (too few sold comps)
3. Facts to confirm, grouped by item
