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
Tap the camera and choose your photos. Kivá sorts them into one album per item in your own Photos app, and reads the brand, model, colorway, size and style code from them.
-
Say what you want
Tap an album, or say “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
She asks whether to sell fast or go for higher profit, tells you the price and what it rests on, and lets you change the price, the shipping and best offers. In live production drafts come first, and nothing goes live without your yes.
She tells you what she did, in plain English.
From an album of photos to a live listing in the eBay sandbox, with every decision explained out loud and a report saved on your phone. This is what happens:
- The photos. Each item is an album in your Photos app. 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, in your size when enough sold, and prices from their median. Here 26 sold listings clustered around $240.93 and she suggested $241.24. She asks whether to sell fast (the low end of what it sold for) or go for higher profit (the high end), says what the price rests on, and asks if you'd like to change it before anything is created.
- 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.
- Offers and payment. She can allow best offers, with an automatic accept price and decline price worked out from your price, and, if you want, ask buyers to pay straight away on fixed-price listings.
- Publishing. Your photos go to eBay's picture hosting, then the item, the offer and the listing are created, and one closing line says where it is live, the price and the title. The report, built on your phone, 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.

Tap anywhere to begin
She'll speak, so turn your sound onI found two photo albums. Tap one to start, or tap the camera to add another.
Run hellstar.
Right then, listing hellstar.
It has six photos.
The first photo is the lead.
It looks like a pair of sneakers.
The label says LA1501, not LA1301.
Photos uploaded to eBay.
I'm going with a fixed price. 26 sold listings cluster around $240.93, so buyers know what it's worth.
Shipping is $14.95, the average of the 24 sold listings.
I wrote the title from what the five top-selling listings have in common.
Category: Athletic Shoes, matching eBay's suggestion and all 26 sold listings.
Do you want to sell fast, go for higher profit, or leave it as it is?
I would like to change it.
Sure. You can tell me a percentage, like 'lower it by 10 percent'; a dollar amount, like 'raise it by $20.00'; or just tell me the exact price you'd like.
Lower it by 10 percent.
That's $217.12 instead of $241.24. Shall I go ahead?
Yes.
Done.
Want to change the shipping?
No.
Okay.
Allow best offers? I'd turn down offers of $173.70 or less and accept $206.26 or more. You can change those amounts if you like, just let me know.
Yes.
Best offers are on.
Anything to change before publishing?
No.

What she does today
Built and working, for sneakers and collectibles. More categories come later.
-
Talk instead of type
Say “Hey Kivá” to start, or just tap. Tap an album while she's talking and she stops to answer. 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. Your albums stay in your Photos app.
-
Priced from real sales
The price comes from what similar items actually sold for, not from asking prices, in your size when enough sold. You choose sell fast or higher profit. 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 on your phone
Every run gets a readable report, kept on your phone, and every sale behind a price is one click away. You can save it to Files or share it.
-
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.
-
Best offers, set for you
She can allow best offers on a fixed-price listing, with an automatic accept price and decline price worked out from your price.
-
Pay now, if you want it
She can ask buyers to pay straight away on fixed-price listings, by making a payment policy that does it. eBay doesn't make an accepted offer pay at once, and she tells you.
-
Your photos stay yours
Your albums live in your Photos app. She only sees a photo while she lists it, deletes it afterwards, and builds and keeps your reports on your phone.
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 iPhone, then 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.
