List on eBay
by talking.
Show Kivá the photos. She identifies the item, checks what it actually sold for, and builds the listing while you talk, then explains every decision so you can trust it.
Kivá is pronounced KEE-vay.
Three steps. You do the talking.
-
Add your photos
A few shots of the item and its box label. Kivá reads the brand, model, colorway, size and style code from the photos.
-
Say what you want
“Hey Kivá, run the Hellstar album.” She looks up recent sold prices, picks the right format and category, and writes the title and description.
-
Review, then publish
Drafts come first. She reads you the price, shipping and fees, shows a report, and publishes only when you say yes.
She tells you what she did, in plain English.
From a folder of photos to a live listing in the eBay sandbox, with every decision explained out loud and written up in a report you can open. This is what happens:
- The photos. Each item is a folder. The first photo identifies it and the rest go on the listing as extra photos. She reads the box label to correct the style code and size.
- The price. She looks up recent sold listings of the same item in the same condition and prices from their median. Here that was 26 sold listings, $160.00 to $299.99, median $241.24.
- Fixed price or auction. Sales bunched together get a fixed price; a wide spread gets an auction. She says which she chose and why.
- Shipping, category, title. Shipping is the average of the sold listings that charged for it. The category is checked against eBay's own suggestion and where those sales were filed. The title is built from the five highest-priced sold titles, using only words that are true of your item.
- Publishing. Your photos go to eBay's picture hosting, then the item, the offer and the listing are created. The report shows the estimated fees if it sells.
- Sandbox first. In the sandbox, which is eBay's practice environment, she publishes straight through because nothing there is real. In live production she offers drafts first and publishes only when you say yes.

She'll speak, so turn your sound onI found two photo albums: hellstar, with six photos and pokemon, with four photos. Would you like me to run them? If so, tell me how many, or name the album you'd like.
Run hellstar.
Right then, listing hellstar.
Now working on the hellstar album.
I'm connected to eBay's sandbox environment.
This album has six photos. I'll use the first one to identify the item, and add the rest as extra photos.
Looking at the first photo, this looks like a pair of sneakers.
I read the box label more closely and corrected the style code from LA1301 to LA1501.
I uploaded six photos to eBay's picture hosting.
I've chosen a fixed price listing. 26 sold listings cluster tightly around $240.93 (spread 16 percent of average), the market has a clear price; buyers expect to pay it.
For shipping I'm charging $14.95. That's the average of the 24 sold listings, all of which charged for shipping.
For the title, I studied the five highest-priced sold listings, out of 24, and worked in what they have in common: brand new, hellstar superstar hazy orange and adidas x hellstar superstar.
For the category I've used Athletic Shoes. That matches eBay's own suggestion. 26 of 26 sold listings (100 percent) were filed there.
I saved the item's details to eBay.
I created the offer for this item.
The listing is now published in the eBay sandbox.
The listing is titled: Adidas x Hellstar Superstar Hazy Orange LA1501 Brand New Size 12.
The link to view the listing is in the report.
Good news, the hellstar album is published and live in the eBay sandbox, not on the real eBay site. It's a fixed price listing, priced at $241.24.
The report is also ready.

What she does today
Built and working, for sneakers and collectibles. More categories come later.
-
Talk instead of type
Say “Hey Kivá” to start. She listens only when it's your turn, checks she heard an album name right, and you choose her voice.
-
Photos become a listing
She identifies the item from your photos, reads the label for the style code and size, and uses your first photo as the lead.
-
Priced from real sales
The price comes from what similar items actually sold for, not from asking prices. Sets are priced from single sales when needed.
-
Fixed price or auction, decided
A tight market gets a fixed price. A wide, uncertain one gets an auction. She tells you which and why.
-
The right category, checked
The category comes from where similar items really sold, then is checked against eBay's own suggestion.
-
Titles that learn from winners
She studies the highest-priced sold titles and uses the terms that are true of your item, without copying anyone.
-
Fees before you commit
In live mode she tells you the listing fee and the estimated selling fee, and what you keep before your own costs.
-
Reports and a ledger
Every run gets a readable report, and every sale behind a price is one click away. Everything is also logged to a spreadsheet.
-
Tidy up by voice
She can check your account for old drafts and listings and remove the ones you choose, after asking you to confirm.
See every sale behind the price.
Each square is one real sold listing. Sales at similar prices stack up, so you can see at a glance whether a price sits in the crowd. Click any sale in the report to jump to its listing.
An example from a real report: 26 sold listings.
Built so you stay in charge.
- Practice first. A sandbox mode uses eBay's test site, where nothing is real, so you can learn how she works.
- Drafts first. In live mode she can create drafts for you to review, and only publishes when you say so.
- She always says where. A listing is “live in the eBay sandbox” or “live on eBay”. She never blurs the two.
- Nothing removed without a yes. She confirms before she deletes anything.
- Decisions you can check. The report shows the sold listings, the fees and the reasoning behind each choice.

Questions
Can I use it now?
Not yet. It works, and we're preparing it for other sellers. Join the waitlist and we'll email you when early access opens. It starts on the web, then iPhone and Android.
Do I need an eBay account?
Yes, a seller account. You connect it yourself, and Kivá lists on your behalf.
Will she publish things without asking?
No. She can create drafts for you to review, and she publishes only when you say yes. There is also a practice mode on eBay's test site.
What can she list?
Sneakers and collectibles such as trading cards and sealed boxes. Other categories come later.
How is the price decided?
From recent sold listings of the same item, not asking prices. She tells you how many sales she used and how tightly they cluster, and the report shows every one.
How much will it cost?
We haven't set pricing yet, and we'd rather measure than guess. We'll share it before anyone is asked to pay.
Is Kivá part of eBay?
No. Kivá is an independent product. It works with your eBay account through eBay's own tools.
What happens to my email address?
It's used to tell you about Kivá's launch and nothing else. Read the details.
