A sneaker reseller was losing deals because they couldn't monitor eBay listings fast enough manually. I built a Python bot that continuously monitors eBay search results for specific sneaker keywords and size filters, detects new listings or price drops below a set threshold, and sends real-time Telegram alerts the moment something matches.
The bot stores seen listings in a local SQLite database to avoid duplicate alerts, and runs on a configurable check interval (every 2–5 minutes).
Stack: Python, requests, BeautifulSoup, python-telegram-bot, schedule, sqlite3
Result: Eliminated manual hourly checks. Client received instant deal alerts and landed 4 profitable flips within the first two weeks of using the bot.
