What Is Price Genius?
Price Genius is our AI-powered tool that helps you price items accurately. Just upload photos, and it'll analyze your item and suggest a fair price.
How It Works
1. Upload Your Photos
During listing creation, add clear photos of your item. The more angles and details, the better.
2. Tap "Use Price Genius"
Let the AI analyze your images. It identifies:
What the item is
Brand and model (if visible)
Condition based on appearance
Current market value
3. Get Your Price Genius Insight Card
Price Genius provides a visual Insight Card showing:
Suggested price range — What similar items sell for
Recommended price — A competitive starting point
Confidence level — How confident the AI is in its recommendation (based on data availability)
Item description — Auto-generated text you can edit
4. Adjust If Needed
The AI is helpful, but you know your item best. Feel free to adjust the price based on:
Special features not visible in photos
Original purchase price
Sentimental or collector value
Local market conditions
What Makes Price Genius Smart
Our AI considers:
Recent sales data — What similar items actually sold for
Item condition — Wear affects price significantly
Brand value — Some brands hold value better
Item age and depreciation — Older items lose value over time, and Price Genius factors this in for more accurate pricing
Market trends — What buyers are paying right now
Confidence Tiers
Price Genius provides different confidence levels depending on how much data is available:
High confidence — Plenty of comparable sales data available
Medium confidence — Some data available, but the recommendation may need your judgment
Low confidence — Limited data; treat the suggestion as a rough starting point
Tips for Better Results
Clear photos: Good lighting and multiple angles help the AI identify your item accurately.
Show the brand: Include visible logos, labels, or model numbers.
Show wear: Don't hide flaws. Honest photos lead to accurate pricing.
Include accessories: If selling a camera, show the lens, case, etc.
When to Trust the AI vs. Your Judgment
Trust Price Genius when:
Selling common electronics, furniture, or household items
You're unsure what similar items sell for
You want a quick starting point
Use your judgment when:
The item has collector or antique value
It's a rare or limited edition
You have special knowledge about the item
Local demand differs from general market
It's Just a Suggestion
Price Genius is a tool to help you, not a rule to follow. Set whatever price you think is fair. You can always adjust later if the item isn't selling.
