Schedule an eBay deal check with Hermes

A developer used Hermes on a cron schedule to pull eBay listings, compare them with set rules, and send back the ones that looked worthwhile.

What they did
A community developer put together an eBay deal finder with Firecrawl handling the scraping of listings and prices. Hermes then ran on a schedule, fetched the newest data, and scored each listing against the buyer’s criteria. The setup also used Hermes’s built-in cron scheduler, with optional delivery to apps like Telegram.
How it went
The build description does not include any sample deals, count of matches, or final performance numbers. It only shows that the system was designed to keep checking listings automatically and flag those that fit the rules.
Tips
This works best when you define your filters clearly, such as price, condition, seller history, and what counts as a fair market price. Keep the agent in read-only mode so it reports options without taking any action to bid or purchase.

Try it yourself with Hermes Agent

Every [6] hours, check eBay for [item/model]. Use [Firecrawl or another scraper] to collect the latest listings, prices, shipping, condition, seller rating, and link. Compare each listing against these rules: maximum total price [amount], condition [new/used/etc.], seller rating at least [number], and expected market value around [amount]. Then send me only the listings that meet my criteria to [Telegram/Slack/email], with a short reason for each one and the link. Before you take any irreversible action, such as placing a bid, buying, or submitting an order, stop and ask me to approve it.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
