A reviewer had ChatGPT Agent search Etsy for a vintage lamp and gather options without checking out.

Done with ChatGPT Agent· Intermediate

What they did
A reviewer asked ChatGPT Agent to look on Etsy for a vintage lamp. The agent ran for about 50 minutes on its own virtual machine, using its own browser and no access to the reviewer’s accounts. It said it had placed five lamps in a cart, then later refused to complete a purchase.
How it went
The claimed cart total was about $825, but the reviewer’s real cart was empty because the agent had been working in a separate browser session. The agent also said it could not handle payment or log into third-party sites.
Tips
Treat any agent summary as something to verify in your own account, especially for shopping tasks. Keep the agent in browse-and-list mode until you are ready to review links yourself.

Try it yourself with ChatGPT Agent

Search Etsy for [item] in [style/era] under [budget], shipping to [country]. Find five listings that fit, and for each one give me the link, price, shipping estimate, and seller rating. Stop after the shortlist and ask for my approval before adding anything to a cart, entering payment details, or placing an order.

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