Everything you need to know to start listing, selling, and getting paid.
FlipBot is a web app and Chrome extension that lets you sell your clothing on eBay, Grailed, Kijiji, and Facebook Marketplace using your own seller accounts — without the tedious manual work of writing listings, researching prices, or filling in item details.
You upload photos of your item. Our AI reads the photos, writes the full listing for you, and posts it live across multiple marketplaces in under a minute. When it sells, you get paid your cut automatically.
Think of it as a smart listing assistant — you bring your own accounts, you stay in control, and the AI handles all the tedious work.
When you click Connect in the FlipBot Chrome extension, it opens the marketplace's own login page (eBay, Grailed, Kijiji, Facebook) directly in your browser. You log in normally — the extension then caches your session cookies locally on your device only.
We never receive, store, or transmit your credentials or session data to our servers. FlipBot uses your locally-stored session to post listings on your behalf — exactly the same as if you were doing it manually in the browser.
Even if our servers were ever compromised, there is nothing to steal. Your login information never leaves your machine. A malicious actor would need physical access to your device to misuse your session.
Every sale is split three ways:
| Who | Cut | Why |
|---|---|---|
| eBay | ~13% | Platform fee — charged to all sellers, non-negotiable |
| FlipBot | 10% | AI API costs, market data, and server infrastructure |
| You | ~77% | Paid directly to your connected marketplace account |
Example: Your hoodie sells for $100.
There are no listing fees, no upfront costs, and no charge if the item doesn't sell. You only pay when it sells.
FlipBot is invite-only to prevent misuse and maintain listing quality.
info Your request is submitted automatically when you sign up — no extra steps needed.
Type /list or /start in the bot. This opens a new listing session. You can only have one active session at a time — use /cancel to reset if needed.
Send up to 10 photos of your item. The more detail you provide, the better the AI performs. Each photo you send gets acknowledged with a count.
When you're done sending photos, either type /done or tap the "Done - Analyze with AI" button.
light_mode Tip: Good lighting makes a major difference. Natural light near a window is ideal. Avoid dark or blurry shots — they reduce buyer confidence and AI accuracy.
After you send /done, the bot downloads your photos and sends them to GPT-4o, which reads every tag and detail visible in the images. Within about 30 seconds you'll receive:
You can accept everything with /approve, or override any individual field before posting:
| Command | What it changes |
|---|---|
| /title | Listing title (max 80 characters) |
| /description | Item description |
| /brand | Brand name |
| /category | Item category (Tops, Bottoms, Hoodie, etc.) |
| /style | Style (Casual, Athletic, Streetwear, etc.) |
| /department | Men / Women / Unisex / Boys / Girls |
| /color | Primary color |
| /size | Size (S, M, L, XL, 32, etc.) |
| /sizetype | Regular, Plus, Petite, etc. |
| /material | Fabric composition |
| /origin | Country of manufacture |
Example: /title Nike Air Force 1 White Size 10 Men's Sneaker
Enter your asking price in CAD as a number. Example: 45
The bot will show you the suggested price based on real eBay sold data if available.
Select one of four options:
Choose whether to accept buyer offers below your asking price. If yes, you can set a minimum offer threshold — any offer below that amount gets automatically declined. This saves you from lowball offers without having to manually respond to every one.
Promoted listings appear higher in eBay search results. You set a percentage (typically 2–5%) that you're willing to pay only if the item sells. Higher percentage = more visibility. You pay nothing if it doesn't sell.
Review the full listing summary — photos, all fields, price, condition, offers, and promotion. Tap Post to eBay and the bot uploads your photos, creates the listing, and sends you a direct link to your live eBay listing.
Type /mylistings to open your listings dashboard.
View all your currently live listings with title, price, and offer status. From here you can:
View your complete sales history with sale price, date, and your earnings per item. Proceeds go directly to your connected marketplace accounts.

When an item sells, you'll receive an automatic notification with the item title and sale price.
Payouts are handled by the admin and sent to you directly. Once paid, your sold items are marked as settled.
The bot keeps you in the loop:
warning Important: Offers and messages must be responded to directly on eBay. The bot notifies you, but the response happens on the eBay platform itself. The admin can assist if needed.

Under 2 minutes for most items. The AI analysis takes about 30 seconds. The rest is just reviewing and confirming.
Use the override commands to fix any field before posting. You review everything before it goes live — nothing is posted without your confirmation.
Currently the bot is optimized for clothing. Other items may not get accurate AI analysis for size, material, or category fields. Ask the admin if you're unsure.
Nothing happens — there are no listing fees or charges. You can end the listing at any time from /mylistings, or just leave it up. Listings stay active until sold, ended, or expired.
After your item sells, the proceeds go directly to your connected marketplace account (eBay Payments, Grailed wallet, etc.). Check your earnings any time with /mysales.
Yes — go to /mylistings → Active → Edit → Price. The price updates live on eBay.
If a buyer opens a dispute (item not as described, defect not disclosed, etc.), you are responsible. eBay makes the final call on all disputes — if they side with the buyer, your payout for that item may be reduced or withheld entirely. This is why honesty about condition is critical. Accurate descriptions and photos of flaws prevent most disputes.
If shipping is required on a sale, the seller (you) is responsible for shipping costs. These are deducted from your payout or paid directly depending on the arrangement with the admin.
Use the /help command in the bot for any questions not covered here.
