The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

Here's a task I'd like your help with. Read it all the way through before you start.

Goal: Turn a few photos of an item into a complete, ready-to-review listing draft on eBay Germany (ebay.de).

Check with me first: is there anything about the item the photos don't show, like accessories, condition or a price I have in mind?

What I'll give you:
- A few clear photos of the item
- My eBay Germany account. I'll log in myself when you get to that step, then hand control back to you.

Rules:
- Work out the exact model from the photos and tell me how sure you are.
- Look for visible wear such as scratches, and mention it honestly.
- Write a complete listing title and description in German.
- Show me the title and description, then open eBay Germany and wait while I log in.
- After I hand control back, fill in the whole listing draft.
- If you're unsure about the model or any detail, ask me instead of guessing.
- Don't publish the listing. Stop when the draft is complete and tell me it's ready.

Output: the identified model, a list of any visible defects, the German title and description, and a finished draft on eBay Germany.

You'll know it worked when: the draft shows the right model, an honest condition description, and a full German title and description, ready for me to check and publish.

Works best when: the photos are clear and show any damage up close.

Here's a task I'd like your help with. Read it all the way through before you start.

Goal: Create a complete eBay Germany listing draft from my photos, in German, for my review.

Quick check first: tell me if anything below is missing or unclear.

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Photos
- Item details the photos don't show (accessories, faults)
- Price idea or minimum
- Shipping method and cost
- Item condition category on eBay (new, used, defective)
- My eBay account (I'll log in)

Rules:
- Identify the item and check sold listings on ebay.de for a price range.
- Write title and description in German; describe condition honestly, including faults.
- Fill category, item specifics and shipping.
- Use private-seller wording where it applies; don't promise warranties.
- Identify the exact model from the photos and show me how you know (markings, size, features); ask if unsure.
- Describe every visible flaw honestly, with the photo it's in.
- Check sold listings for similar items to suggest a price range, with links.
- Fill item specifics (brand, model, size, colour) completely.
- Choose a shipping option that fits the item's size and weight.
- Save as a draft; never publish without my explicit OK.
- List any fields you couldn't fill.

Checkpoint: Save as draft only; don't publish or pay listing fees.

If you get stuck: If eBay needs login or verification (including any CAPTCHA or two-step code), ask me; never guess or store passwords.

Verify before you finish: Re-read the draft for item specifics matching the photos.

Output: Draft link, suggested price with sold comparables, and the German text.

Done when: the draft is complete and accurate, ready for me to publish.
