What E-commerce Seller Info does

The E-commerce Seller Info skill enables users to extract comprehensive seller or merchant profile data directly from various e-commerce platforms, including Amazon and eBay. By leveraging JSON-LD structured data and platform-specific DOM patterns, this skill is designed for developers and data analysts who need to gather seller information efficiently. It retrieves key details such as seller name, rating, review count, positive feedback percentage, joined date, and return policy without requiring any login credentials for public profiles.

To utilize the skill, users must first navigate to the desired seller profile page. The skill then executes a Python script that extracts the relevant data, providing a structured JSON output. This process is straightforward and can be executed in a browser environment where the seller profile is publicly accessible. The skill is particularly useful for market research, competitor analysis, or any scenario where understanding seller performance and reputation is critical.

The skill is designed to work seamlessly with both Amazon and eBay seller pages, offering predefined URL patterns for easy navigation. Users can also batch process multiple seller profiles, although it is recommended to test the extraction with a few sellers first to ensure the process runs smoothly. The output is reliable as long as the seller has filled out their profile, but users should be aware of potential limitations, such as changes in page design or anti-scraping measures that may affect data retrieval.

Overall, the E-commerce Seller Info skill is an effective tool for anyone needing to analyze seller data across major e-commerce platforms, providing a simple and efficient way to gather insights into seller performance and customer feedback.

E-commerce — Seller Info

Seller/merchant profile URL → seller name, rating, review count, feedback, joined date, return policy

Language

All process output to user (progress updates, process notifications) follows the user's language.

Objective

Extract seller profile information from marketplace platform seller or storefront pages using JSON-LD structured data and platform-specific DOM patterns.

Prerequisites

  • Target browser is open and connected
  • No login required for public seller profile pages

Pre-execution Checks

1. Tool Readiness

If browser-act has been confirmed available in the current session → skip this step.

Invoke browser-act via Skill tool to load usage. If installation or configuration issues arise, follow its guidance to resolve then retry.

Capability Components

This Skill's operational boundary = what the user can manually do in their browser. It only reads data already displayed to the user on the page. JS code is encapsulated in Python files under the scripts/ directory, invoked via eval "$(python scripts/xxx.py {params})". Use the bash tool for execution.

DOM: Extract seller profile from current seller page

Navigate to the seller profile URL first, then extract:

eval "$(python scripts/extract-seller.py)"

Output example:

{
  "url": "https://www.amazon.com/shops/seller/A1234567890",
  "name": "TechGadgets Store",
  "description": "Premium electronics accessories since 2015",
  "rating": 4.8,
  "review_count": 12450,
  "positive_feedback_pct": "98% positive feedback",
  "joined": "Member since: January 2015",
  "return_policy": "30-day returns accepted",
  "image": null,
  "_platform": "amazon"
}

Composite: Amazon seller URL patterns

Amazon seller pages follow these URL patterns:

Seller page typeURL
Seller storefronthttps://www.amazon.com/shops/{seller_id}
Seller feedback (from product page)Click "Sold by {seller_name}" link on a product page
Third-party seller ratingshttps://www.amazon.com/gp/seller/{seller_id}/ref=dp_byline_sr

To find a seller from a product page:

  1. Navigate to product page → wait stable
  2. eval "document.querySelector('#sellerProfileTriggerId, #merchant-info a')?.href" to get the seller URL
  3. navigate {seller_url}wait stable
  4. eval "$(python scripts/extract-seller.py)"

Composite: eBay seller URL patterns

Seller page typeURL
eBay seller storefronthttps://www.ebay.com/str/{seller_username}
eBay seller feedbackhttps://www.ebay.com/usr/{seller_username}

To find seller from an eBay listing:

  1. Navigate to eBay item page → wait stable
  2. eval "document.querySelector('.x-sellercard-atf__data a[href*=\"/usr/\"]')?.href" to get seller URL
  3. Navigate and extract

Success Criteria

result.name != null

Known Limitations

  • Amazon seller pages may require navigating from https://www.amazon.com first on fresh sessions to avoid bot detection
  • eBay seller pages may require navigating from https://www.ebay.com first
  • Seller description and return policy availability depends on whether the seller has filled in their profile
  • Rating scale differs by platform: Amazon uses 1–5 stars, eBay uses percentage of positive feedback; both are preserved in their native format

Execution Efficiency

  • Batch orchestration: Loop through seller URLs serially; add 1–2 second intervals between navigations
  • Test before batch execution: Test with 1–2 sellers before running the full batch
  • Error resumption: Save results item by item; on failure, resume from the breakpoint

Experience Notes

Path: {working-directory}/browser-act-skill-forge-memories/ecommerce-scraper-ecommerce-seller-info.memory.md

Before execution: If the file exists, read it first — it records unexpected situations encountered during past executions; adjust strategy order accordingly.

After execution: If an unexpected situation is encountered (strategy became ineffective, page redesigned, anti-scraping upgraded, better path discovered), append a line: {YYYY-MM-DD}: {what happened} → {conclusion}
