Made by a reseller, for resellers
I tried many listing services, and they all fell short of what I expected.
So I built Listing Ventures AI. Years of reselling taught me what a listing service really needs, and I put all of it in.
I've been reselling for 7 years, sourcing mainly from storage unit auctions. Listing became the bottleneck when I started buying multiple units each week. I didn't have enough time to clear out a unit, sort items, move them, and then do the whole listing process.
I tried other listing tools, but each one always had 2 or 3 things that annoyed me or should have been easier. I also outsourced listings for a while, but the person making them just wasn't as detailed and accurate as I needed.
I knew there had to be a better way, so I built Listing Ventures AI. I added the tools I liked from other services and fixed the things I didn't. I've also talked to a lot of other resellers about their pain points listing on eBay, Facebook, and now Whatnot, and I added features based on what I heard.
It's been a major time saver for me. I've been able to list items that sat in my storage unit for months. I used to skip listing a lot of $10 to $20 items because the time to list wasn't worth the profit. Not anymore. Now I list every item I have, whatever it's worth, because it's that quick.
Founder case study: one seller's own results
My results, Oct 3 and 4, 2026
About 1.5 minutes per listing with the app. My own time, Oct 3 and 4, 2026.
These are my own numbers from using the site as a reseller. They are not from independent customers, and they are one seller over two days, not a promise of results.
- Listings created
- 63
- Published to eBay

Scott Medlin's own use of the site, not independent customers, Oct 3 and 4, 2026.
My own estimate: 4 to 5 minutes per listing before the app. With the app, about 1.5 minutes per listing (Oct 3 and 4, 2026).
