About
A small shop’s own tool for inventory and listings
ListingForge is a private web app built for one small shop that sells handmade crochet pieces, vintage finds and pre-owned goods. The owner uses it to keep a single inventory and to list and update her own items on the marketplaces where she sells.
One inventory
Every item is entered once, with photos, cost, weight and where it is stored.
Listings on several marketplaces
The seller lists her own items on Etsy and eBay through their official APIs. Handmade and vintage pieces go to Etsy.
Stock stays right
When something sells in one place, the quantity is lowered everywhere else so the same piece is not sold twice.
Orders and packing
New orders show up in one list with what to pack and ship next.
Writing help
Draft titles and descriptions can be suggested from the seller’s own photos and notes. She reviews and edits every listing before it is published.
Private
Marketplace access tokens are stored encrypted. No data is sold, shared or used for advertising.
How ListingForge uses the Etsy API
ListingForge connects to one Etsy shop only — the owner’s own shop — after she signs in with Etsy and approves access. It does not access other shops or other sellers’ data.
- Listings: creates and updates listings in her shop for items she marks as handmade (made by her) or vintage (at least 20 years old): title, description, price, quantity, photos, tags, category and shipping profile.
- Inventory: when a piece sells somewhere else, lowers the quantity on Etsy or deactivates the listing, so it is not sold twice.
- Orders: reads her shop’s orders (receipts) to update stock and to show what needs to be packed and shipped.
- Nothing else: no messages to buyers, no scraping, no use of Etsy data for advertising or for training AI models. Etsy buyer information is never sent to AI services.
Access can be removed at any time from Settings → Platforms in ListingForge, or from the connected-apps section of the Etsy account settings.
