Get the Best Price on eBay
August 2nd, 2007
The other day I was trying to buy a usb cable for my new lg env phone. After going to the verizon store and realizing they wanted to charge me $30 I got on ebay. A quick search yielded some good deals, but I wanted the best deal. The problem was that the sellers shipping costs were not factored into the sort by price, so the best deal was not necessarily on the top. I couldn’t find anything other than a firefox extension to do this for me, so I decided to write some quick code using the eBay API to sort by total price(w/ shipping included). The result is the eBay Sort by Total Price Search.

Looks good. I think it would be even better if you could add categories. Say you’re looking for the Razr phone and type in razr. You’ll get all the razr fluff, accessories and whatever. Even typing “razr phone” won’t grab all the razr phone auctions.
