Getting local UPC pricing data into ShopSavvy is a time consuming and expensive process.  We are adding hundreds of local retailers each day, in fact, yesterday we added over 1,300 retailers in the UK to our system.  But we are barely scratching the surface.  Then it hit us (with the help of some emails and comments from users) we should use display eBay listings in our local results.

Say you are in the store and scan a new treadmill.  There are likely hundreds of those treadmills sitting unused in your local community.  Several of them may even be on eBay, but alas here you are needing to lose 10 lbs and according to ShopSavvy the price is pretty good.  But, what if I could also display that exact treadmill from a listing on eBay next to the other local prices?  Would that be interesting?

About an hour ago we decided that it might be worth it to launch an Alpha (i.e. not Beta) eBay listing tool.  The tool is very simple.  You enter:

• UPC of item you are selling on eBay
• eBay auction URL
• buy it now price
• Address of item
• Phone number of seller
• Auction duration
• And pay us $1 via PayPal

Now your item becomes relevant to bargain shoppers out in the real world, people who are actually ready to buy.  Not folks sitting behind their computer screens thinking about buying.  Try it out:
