Built an eBay price tracker, then couldn't legally charge for it — so it's free for now

I built Snagly — paste an eBay listing, set a target price, get emailed when it drops below that. That's it. No scraping, only eBay's official Browse API, because scraped listing data can't legally be cached/displayed the way a price-history chart needs to. The plan was $4/mo for tracking more than 3 items. Then Paddle (my payment processor — used them instead of Stripe since Stripe doesn't support Egypt-based accounts) rejected my ID for live-mode verification. Their ID checker apparently

AI 分析

痛点:eBay买家常错过心仪商品降价,需要按目标价格监控商品并在降价时收到提醒。

目标用户:在eBay上蹲显卡、显示器等电子产品降价的买家、收藏者或转售者。

证据:"paste an eBay listing, set a target price, get emailed when it drops below that." "The plan was $4/mo for tracking more than 3 items."

变现:Freemium订阅:免费追踪3件商品,$4/月或更高价格解锁25件追踪、即时提醒或多平台支持;后续可加历史价格、Best Buy等渠道。

MVP:2周MVP:输入eBay商品链接、设置目标价和邮箱,用eBay官方Browse API定时查询,价格低于目标时发邮件提醒;免费限3件,付费解锁25件。支付先选支持埃及的Paddle/Lemon Squeezy等,注意不缓存或展示违规爬取数据。

竞品:Keepa、CamelCamelCamel、eBay saved searches、PriceBlink、Slickdeals price alerts

摘要:开发者发布Snagly,用eBay官方Browse API做价格追踪:粘贴商品链接、设目标价,降价后邮件提醒。原计划$4/月追踪超过3件,但因Paddle身份验证失败无法收款,暂时免费开放25件Pro额度;Best Buy支持也因API审核暂停。帖子验证了个人痛点和小额订阅设想,但尚无外部付费用户证据。
