Marketplace handoff

The draft is shaped to Facebook Marketplace's create-item fields (US). Each field is copied by hand, the photos come as a zip in order, and Open Marketplace opens the create page; posting stays a manual step. No automation of facebook.com.

Built so far

No public API posts a personal Marketplace listing, and automating the site is against its terms, so the handoff stops at the create page. From an item's page, Write the draft produces the title, price, category, condition, description, tags and photo order (see the seller flow); each has its own Copy button, Download photos zips the photos in that order, and Open Marketplace opens the create-item page in a new tab. Posting is yours: nothing is sent to facebook.com by the service, and the draft is not changed on the way. The page is MARKETPLACE_CREATE_URL. Mark as listed, Mark as sold and Mark as given record what happened after. The other way round, Search Marketplace on a search request opens the search page with the request's words and top price (MARKETPLACE_SEARCH_URL); you run it and bring a listing back.
