This script uses the eBay Finding API to search listings and alert the user via email when a target price is reached. It interfaces with the API using the ebaysdk library.

The script filters auction, local pickup, and non-US listings. It includes the ability to set a price minimum and to ignore specific URLs.

You'll need an eBay developer account to use the script. Set your APP_ID at the top of main.py before running. I usually run this script as a cron job. Remember to respect eBay API rate limits.

You'll also need an email address capable of sending email with smtplib from the Python standard library. email_server address and email_port number will vary depending on the email service. Sometimes services will require you to verify your identity before sending messages.


To use:

  1. The only required dependency outside the standard library is ebaysdk. To install it run pip3 install ebaysdk.
  2. Set desired options at the top of main.py and run.

Note: Never store your login credentials as plain text. Please store them in an encrypted format and import as needed.
