GT Thrift Shop @ HackGT - Fall 2014 Submission: http://challengepost.com/software/gt-thrift-shop
Currently, students sell their items (books, furniture etc), through a Facebook group called GT Thrift Shop (https://www.facebook.com/groups/199456403537988/?ref=br_tf). This can get inefficient due to the lack of a catalog and search functionality. The aim of the new Thrift Shop is to use eBay's Finding API, along with the Milo API to create this service for Georgia Tech students.
- Selling functionality - Make a post on eBay (visible only to GT students (limit by location)) through the app. Currently implemented by passing sellerIDs registered with app, and restricting results to those sellers.
- Buying functionality - Catalog of items being sold, organized in departments. Bidding. Buy it Now.
- Trading API: AddItem, GetItem, GetSellerList
- Finding API: findItemsByKeywords, findItemsAdvanced
- Sandbox usage for test transactions and demo listings.
