A simple NodeJS chat bot that allows you to search for eBay products using the eBay Finding API. There are two types of product keyword searches: new condition and used condition. Both responses include the product title, current bid price and eBay product URL. To search used products you need to include "used" in the message. To search used products you need to include "new" in the message. If you do not include the condition, it will default to new.
Sample Messages
- I want to buy VR goggles
- I need a new computer
- find used laptop
- I'm looking for a used chandelier
- search iphone
- do you have guitars
- tell me a joke
