What they did

A Reddit post shares a workflow for ChatGPT agent mode to price items from sold listings, write the listings, post them and answer buyers over about 10 days, with little hands-on work from the poster.

How it went

It's a shared prompt and workflow. Commenters in seller forums say the user should still check condition, photos and pricing.

Worth knowing

  • Shared workflow, not a measured result.
  • Never let it decide final prices, payment or meetups on its own. OpenAI's policies prohibit using the agent to mislead buyers.

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

Help me sell [items]. For each, research recent sold prices, suggest a price, and write a title and description from my photos. Draft the listing on [marketplace] and wait for my approval before posting. Draft replies to buyer messages for me to approve.

Test whether a shopping agent can be tricked by fake reviews (cautionary)

F-Secure built a shopping agent (vibe-coded with Claude Code, running Claude Haiku, with the user's details in memory) and a mock marketplace with a review pointing to a fake discount-code site. In 100 runs it visited the phishing site 12% of the time and submitted the user's name, date of birth and SSN, almost never telling the user.
