Ebay Search Tool

By Greer Page (cgpage@uvm.edu) & Jack Taylor (jwtaylor@uvm.edu)

Use:

    - Run ebay_search.py

    - Enter the item youre searching for, be as specific as possible

    - Enter your budget, only items below your budget will be returned

        - Items that have a ranged price are sorted based on the average price

    - Enter the filters of your choice

Results: 

    - Results are filtered based on your budget, filters, and seller ratings

        - The highest rated seller's items are shown first

    - Results are displayed with the name of the item and a link to the item's page

        - Depending on your terminal, this link can be clicked or pasted into a browser window

    - If no item is found to meet the given criteria, the program will not return an item. 

    - To view the next item hit enter

    - To stop seeing items hit q

Testing:

    - We tested by inputing things we would really buy on Ebay

    - We followed the link provided by the program to see if it met our filters and budget

    - We looked at each result to see that seller reviews descend from highest rated seller to lowest

Requirements: 

    - This program requires the python requests and beautifulsoup4 libraries 

    - These can be installed by running pip install -r requirements.txt

Roles:

        - I wrote all of the input handling, including input validation for the 

            - item

            - budget

            - characteristics of letters

        - I also formatted the item for searching in the eBay url.

    Greer: 

        - I handled most of the backend work

        - I wrote the search and sort functions as well as the Item class to parse the raw html into useful python
