Commands
| Command | What it does | Credits |
|---|---|---|
/price item | What it really sold for on eBay (median, range, sales in 30 days) and the most to pay. Optional: new or used only, the eBay site. | 1 |
/flip item price | The same, plus buy or skip at that price and the profit after fees (your fee % if you give one). | 1 |
/identify photo | Names the item from a photo — brand, model, how sure — and prices it. | 5 |
/fliptip-setup | Connects the server (or, in DMs, you) to your FlipTip account. | free |
/fliptip-credits | Credits left on the connected account. | free |
/fliptip-remove | Disconnects the server. | free |
The prices come from the same completed-sale search as the FlipTip scanner, with every sale checked by AI so accessories, parts and other models don't count. For pallets, use the pallet manifest checker; for your own app, the FlipTip API.
Questions
What does the FlipTip Discord bot do?
It answers resale questions inside your server: /price shows what an item really sold for in completed eBay sales and the most to pay for it, /flip says buy or skip at a given price with the profit after fees, and /identify names an item from a photo and prices it. Everyone in the server can use it; the answers stay in the channel for the whole group to see.
Who pays for the lookups?
The FlipTip account that connects the server with /fliptip-setup. Each lookup uses its API credits: /price and /flip 1 credit, /identify 5 credits. Every account gets 25 free credits; then packs from $12 for 250 credits — they never expire, and packs are final and non-refundable.
Can members run up a big bill?
No. The server has a daily limit (200 lookups unless you set your own in /fliptip-setup), each member can make 20 lookups an hour, and when the credits are used up the bot simply says so — there is no subscription and nothing is charged automatically. A lookup whose prices couldn't be checked is free.
Is my API key safe?
Run /fliptip-setup in any channel — the reply is shown only to you. FlipTip keeps only a fingerprint of the key, never the key itself. Create a new key on fliptip.ai/api at any time and the bot is disconnected until you run /fliptip-setup again.
Which eBay sites does it cover?
United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Italy and Spain. Set the server's default in /fliptip-setup; anyone can pick another site per lookup.
Can I use it on my own, without a server?
Yes. Add FlipTip to your apps, then use the same commands in DMs or any server, paid by your own credits — run /fliptip-setup in a DM with FlipTip first.
