Pickers Eye

In development, planned launch 2027

See what similar items are listed for on eBay, before you buy.

Pickers Eye is an iPhone app for thrift shoppers and part-time resellers in the US. Photograph a clothing tag or a sneaker label in the store, and the app shows matching eBay listings, so you can decide whether an item is worth buying to resell.

Pickers Eye is still being built. This page describes what the app is planned to do.

What the app does

  1. Photograph a tag. Take a photo of a garment tag or a sneaker label.
  2. Your phone reads it. The app picks out the brand, size, RN number and style code on your phone. The photo is not uploaded. Only the text it finds is used to search.
  3. See active eBay listings. You get matching fixed-price listings that deliver within the US. Each one shows the price, the shipping cost listed separately, the condition and the seller. A price range shows what sellers are asking right now.
  4. Draft your own listing. The app writes a title (80 characters or fewer), a description and item specifics. You copy them and post the listing on eBay yourself. The app does not post for you.

Who it is for

Part-time resellers and thrift-store shoppers in the US who buy secondhand clothing and sneakers to resell. If you have ever held a jacket in a thrift store and wondered what it is worth, the app is made for that moment.

How prices are shown

The price range is based on active eBay listings: what sellers are asking today, not what buyers paid. Listings appear in the order eBay returns them, and shipping is always shown separately from the item price.

The app will be a subscription in the App Store. If you open a listing on eBay from the app and buy it, we may earn a commission from the eBay Partner Network, at no extra cost to you. There will be no ads, and we will not sell your data.
