What it drafts

What Strooply drafts from your photos

Strooply uses Google Gemini to read your photos. Each item below is a draft for you to check and change.

  • Title. The draft aims for 75 to 80 characters in the order brand, model, key specs, variant, and is cut at a word boundary so it never goes over eBay's 80-character limit.[1] A lot starts with "Lot of" and the count.
  • Description. HTML with a condition paragraph, feature bullets and what is included, in the brief, professional or detailed style you choose.
  • Category. A leaf category, checked against eBay's category tree.
  • Item specifics. eBay's required item specifics plus up to 20 recommended ones, compared with up to 10 comparable active listings.
  • Product identifiers. UPC, EAN, ISBN, MPN and brand go in their own fields.
  • Condition notes. You pick the condition. The draft writes the condition notes from your photos and anything you tell it.
  • Shipping. Weight, box size and packing type, matched to the boxes you saved, with USPS, UPS and FedEx rate estimates.
  • A suggested price. See the note below.

About the price suggestion: Strooply shows real eBay listings to compare, plus an AI estimate. The suggested price comes from those market numbers and is a starting point; you set the price. A confidence label (high, medium, low or unknown) reflects how many comparable listings were found: five or more, two to four, one, or none.

Example

One example: a 1900 edition of Robinson Crusoe, as the app drafted it

This is our own example item. These are the five photos that went into the app, and the draft fields the app produced from them. We did not edit the draft. It is one example, not typical results: how well a draft turns out depends on the item and on how clear the photos are.

  • Front cover of a 1900 Harper and Brothers edition of Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe
  • Frontispiece and title page of the same book, naming the Brothers Rhead as illustrators
  • Spine reading Robinson Crusoe, Defoe, Decorations by the Brothers Rhead
  • Page edges and top of the book block, showing age toning
  • Copyright page of the same book dated 1900

The title uses details that are printed on the item itself: the author and title on the cover, Decorations by the Brothers Rhead on the spine, and Copyright, 1900 on the copyright page. You can edit every field, and nothing publishes to eBay until you confirm.

Step by step

How it works, step by step

Take photos

Add up to 24 photos per listing, the same number eBay allows.[2] Identification reads the first 5, so put the clearest shots first, including any label or model number.

Add what you know

Type notes about the item. If you note a flaw, the draft changes its wording: an item with a stated defect gets language such as "For parts" or "Untested", and the draft will not call it "Complete", "Sealed" or "NIB".

Review the draft

A caption under the AI controls says the content is AI-generated and to review it before publishing. Edit anything. You can also redraft the description or fill in missing item specifics from your photos, on every plan.

Publish when you are ready

Strooply publishes through eBay's API with your business policies, only after you confirm.

After the sale

Strooply tracks your cost and shows profit after fees and shipping labels. The eBay fee calculator shows how fees work out before you list.

Compared with eBay

How this differs from eBay's built-in AI listing

eBay has its own AI listing tools. This table uses only what eBay's pages say, checked October 21, 2026; where a page is silent we say so.

Numbers in brackets link to the source list at the bottom of this page.

The pages we reviewed state no separate charge for eBay's tools, while Strooply caps monthly publishes by plan, so weigh that if you list in large volume. Strooply is not affiliated with or endorsed by eBay.

Compared with a chatbot

Versus a general chatbot

A general chat assistant writes text from what you tell it. It does not know the item specifics eBay requires for your category, and it does not publish the listing for you. Many sellers use one for wording help and an eBay-focused app for the listing itself. See Strooply vs general AI assistants.

Plans

Plans and limits

AI drafts are included on every plan, and there is no separate AI draft cap. Lookups and publishes are limited per month by plan:

  • Free: 15 lookups and 5 publishes
  • Starter: 500 lookups and 100 publishes
  • Pro: 1.25k lookups and 250 publishes
  • Team: 5k lookups and 1k publishes

Redrafting a description and filling missing item specifics from photos are on every plan. For the full workflow, read how Strooply works.

Good to know

Good to know: what you still check

A draft from photos is a first pass, not a verified record. The AI can misidentify a lookalike, cannot see a flaw you did not photograph, and cannot confirm that an item works. We found no accuracy rate for AI listing tools published by eBay or by independent testers, so check each field against the item in your hands. The eBay listing checklist covers the rest of a listing, and you stay responsible for what the listing says.

Questions

AI eBay listing generator FAQ

Does eBay have its own AI listing tool?

Yes. eBay describes a photo-first flow in its app and a bulk "Multiple listings from photos" tool in Seller Hub.[3][4] The table above shows where the two differ, based on eBay's pages as of October 21, 2026.

Is it free to try?

There is a free plan, and AI drafts are included on every plan. Lookups and publishes are limited per month by plan, as listed above.

Will it publish without me?

No. You review the draft and confirm before anything goes live on eBay.

How accurate is it?

We have no accuracy rate to quote, and we found none published by eBay or independent testers. The AI can be wrong, so check the title, category, item specifics and condition notes against the item before you publish.

Can I use ChatGPT instead?

You can use a chat assistant for wording. It writes from what you tell it and does not publish to eBay or know your category's required item specifics. See the AI assistants comparison.

How long can an eBay title be?

80 characters, according to eBay.[1] Strooply's draft never goes over that.

Does it set the condition?

No. You pick the condition. The draft writes condition notes from your photos and what you tell it.

Does it work on the web?

Drafting is in the Strooply iPhone and Android app.

Photograph it, review the draft, then publish

Strooply is an app for eBay resellers that identifies items from photos, shows live comps and sold-price estimates, drafts eBay listings for your review, and tracks costs and profit.
