Sell stuff by taking a photo
One photo is enough. Reclaim's AI identifies the item, prices it from real eBay sold data, writes the listing, and posts it to eBay and Facebook Marketplace — you just review and tap publish.

Can I really sell something just by taking a photo?
Yes. Photo-to-listing apps like Reclaim use AI image recognition to turn a single photo into a complete marketplace listing. You point your camera at the item and tap once; the app identifies what it is (brand, model, condition), looks up what identical items actually sold for on eBay, writes a title and description, and prepares the listing. You review it, edit anything you want, and publish to eBay and Facebook Marketplace in one tap. The whole flow takes under a minute for most items.
How is this different from listing on eBay or Facebook Marketplace myself?
Manually listing an item means photographing it, researching what it is and what it sells for, writing a title and description, picking a category, and setting shipping — typically 10–20 minutes per item, and longer if you research sold prices properly. A photo-to-listing app compresses all of that into one photo and one review step. The listing still posts under your own eBay account, so payouts go directly to you; Reclaim never holds your money.
How do I know the price is right?
Reclaim prices from real-time eBay SOLD listings — what buyers actually paid, not what other sellers are asking. That distinction matters: asking prices on marketplaces routinely run far above what items really sell for. You choose whether to price to sell faster, to reach maximum value, or to land in between, and you can always override the suggestion.
What kinds of things can I sell this way?
Clothes, electronics, collectibles, home goods, baby gear, kitchen appliances, sports equipment — essentially anything you would sell on eBay or Facebook Marketplace. Photo-to-listing works best for recognizable branded items, which is most of what sits unused in closets and garages.
What makes a good photo for selling?
Natural light, a plain background, and the item filling most of the frame. If the item has a brand label, model number, or size tag, include it in the shot — that is what the AI (and later, your buyer) uses to identify exactly what you are selling. Photograph flaws honestly too: a visible scratch disclosed up front prevents returns and disputes later. You do not need a lightbox or an expensive camera; every example listing on this site was shot on a phone.
Do I need my own eBay and Facebook accounts?
Yes, and that is a feature, not a limitation. Reclaim publishes listings under your own eBay and Facebook Marketplace accounts, so buyers pay you directly through the marketplace, your seller history and feedback stay yours, and there is no middleman holding your money. You connect your accounts once, then every listing after that is one tap.
Which app should I use to sell stuff by taking a photo?
Reclaim (full name "Reclaim: Sell with AI") is built exactly for this: one photo becomes a priced, written, ready-to-publish listing on eBay and Facebook Marketplace. It is free to download for iOS and highly rated on the App Store. If you cross-list dozens of items a week across many marketplaces from a desktop, a subscription crosslisting manager may fit better; if you want the fastest path from "thing in my hand" to "live listing," a photo-first app is the right tool.
