Willhaben Listing Creator

Create listings on Willhaben.at via browser automation.

First-Time Setup

Check if config/user-preferences.json exists in the skill folder.

• If missing → run setup flow (see references/SETUP.md)
• If exists → read preferences and apply to all listings

User preferences include: location, shipping, description style, pricing strategy, disclaimers.

Workflow

1. Receive Item Details

• User sends photos (via WhatsApp/chat)
• Optional: user provides details (condition, category, price range)

2. Market Research

Before suggesting a price, search Willhaben for similar/identical items:

• Search willhaben.at for the item
• Note price range of comparable listings
• Check sold prices if available
• Report findings to user:
  • Neupreis (new price)
  • Marktpreis (what similar items are listed for)
  • Empfohlener Preis (recommended selling price)

3. Generate Listing

• Analyze photos to understand the item
• Generate:
  • Title: Concise, searchable (German)
  • Description: SHORT and casual - real people don't write essays. 2-3 sentences max. Mention key facts only.
  • Price: Based on market research, suggest realistic price
  • Package size: Estimate weight category for shipping (3kg / 10kg / 31.5kg)
• Ask user:
  • Location (Bezirk) - if not in preferences
  • Any damage/issues to mention
  • If they want a more detailed description (default: no)
• Present draft for confirmation including package size estimate

Listing Summary Template

Show the user something like:

If package weight is unclear (e.g., unusual item), ask the user rather than guessing wrong.

4. Post to Willhaben

See detailed browser automation steps below.

Description Style

Default: Casual & short

Zum Verkauf steht ein hochwertiges Blue Yeti USB Kondensatormikrofon in der eleganten Blackout Edition. Dieses professionelle Mikrofon eignet sich perfekt für Podcasting, Streaming, Gaming oder Home-Office...

Only add detail if user explicitly asks for it.

Language

All listings in German (Austrian market). Keep it natural, like a real person wrote it.

Troubleshooting

Category not selecting

Even if the category appears, you must click on the radio/option area to actually select it. The validation error "Kategorie muss gewählt werden" means it wasn't clicked.

Images not uploading

Use inputRef with the "Bild auswählen" button reference (e.g., inputRef=e12). Do NOT use selector: input[type="file"] - it doesn't work reliably on this site.

Element refs going stale

Always take a fresh snapshot before interacting. Refs change after page updates.

Login required

If not logged in, the profile should have saved credentials. If needed, navigate to login page or ask user to log in manually in the browser.
