eBay Search POC Web App

I need a quick proof-of-concept that lets me explore eBay listings and get notified before they close. The front end can be a single, clean HTML page styled with vanilla CSS or a lightweight framework—nothing elaborate yet. From that page I want to enter a few search parameters (think keyword, category, and price range, number of bids, condition etc). Ability to see the results of any items ending in next hour that meet your criteria. Limited by number of allowed products.


Behind the scenes a small service—cron job, AWS Lambda, or similar—should run every hour. Each run calls the eBay API, pulls items scheduled to end within the next hour that match the criteria I saved on the page, and fires off an email that contains direct links to those listings. Plain links are fine; no fancy formatting required right now.

Simple java script if possible, with way to save criteria, keep as simple as possible for poc, but functional.


This is only a POC, but if it proves solid I’ll spin it into a fuller product and would love to keep working together on future phases.
