I have always felt Ebay dropped the ball on this with untold amounts of custom, varying quality photos with tons of metadata added by users. Presumably they are working on using this, but I haven't seen anything from them for it.

They (we) were working on that more than 15 years ago with mallet library. Unfortunately some of the drawbacks of public companies are they too focused on the current quarter and all effort is towards increasing EPS

Same with Amazon and Aliexpress and Facebook marketplace.

I would assume that stuff can be scraped though. How much would it cost to set up a bot farm that scrapes ebay live?
