README (SKILL.md)
eBay Product Research
Research profitable products to sell on eBay. Analyze completed listings, sell-through rates, average selling prices, competition density, and seasonal demand patterns.
Capabilities
- Completed listings analysis for real selling prices
- Sell-through rate calculation and benchmarks
- Competition density assessment by category
- Seasonal demand pattern identification
- Sourcing opportunity identification (arbitrage, wholesale, thrift)
- Category-specific fee analysis
- Trending product detection on eBay
Install
npx skills add nexscope/ebay-product-research
Usage
Ask your AI agent:
- "Research profitable product categories to sell on eBay."
- "Analyze the sell-through rate for vintage watches on eBay."
- "Find low-competition niches on eBay with high demand."
Output
Structured recommendations with actionable steps, benchmarks, and platform-specific guidance.
Built by Nexscope — AI-powered e-commerce tools for sellers worldwide.
Usage Guidance
This skill conceptually matches eBay research, but before installing or running it you should: 1) Verify the 'nexscope/ebay-product-research' package source and inspect its code (npx runs remote code). 2) Ask the author whether the skill uses the eBay API (and would therefore need API keys) or scrapes public pages — scraping can violate terms and privacy. 3) If you must run the npx install, do so in a sandboxed environment and review what the package will execute. 4) Avoid providing unrelated credentials (AWS, GitHub, etc.) and require the maintainer to add a formal install spec and a clear statement of data sources and required permissions. If the maintainer cannot clarify these points, treat the skill as higher risk.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: ebay-product-research-skill
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle contains only metadata and documentation for an eBay product research tool. There is no executable code, suspicious logic, or prompt-injection attempts present in the provided files (_meta.json and SKILL.md).
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description align with analyzing eBay listings. The skill declares no credentials or binaries, which is plausible if it relies on public eBay pages; however the README's Install line instructs running 'npx skills add nexscope/ebay-product-research' even though the registry metadata shows no install spec — an inconsistency that deserves clarification.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md is high-level and lacks concrete data-source or API guidance. It does not request credentials but also doesn't say whether the agent should use the eBay API (which requires keys) or scrape public pages. That vagueness gives the agent wide discretion (potentially to crawl/scrape external sites) without explicit limits or privacy guidance.
Install Mechanism
Registry lists no install spec, but SKILL.md tells users to run an npx command that will fetch and execute code from a third party. Running npx on an unreviewed package can execute arbitrary code; the package origin (nexscope/ebay-product-research) should be verified and a formal install spec added to the registry if installation is required.
Credentials
No environment variables or credentials are requested by the skill, which keeps the footprint small. However, eBay API access or authenticated seller interactions commonly need credentials; the absence may indicate reliance on scraping or a missing declaration of required API keys — the skill should explicitly state which data sources it uses and whether any keys are required.
Persistence & Privilege
No elevated persistence requested (always:false) and there are no install-time config writes declared. The skill is instruction-only and does not request permanent presence or system-wide config changes.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install ebay-product-research-skill - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/ebay-product-research-skill - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
