OK. A few Conditions to make perfectly clear before we start with the proposal.
1. I am paying for a software that will ultimately be owned by me in it's entirety. You don't retain any copyright to the program/source code after each milestone payment. Meaning I can use it how I like, even for resale if I end up choosing to do so.
2. All source code must be accessible during each stage of the project, so I can analyze and compile them on my side to make sure progress is being met, and you are not only using front end/user interface code.
3. The program must run as a standalone desktop program on the computer without using back end code on servers. Meaning it is not reliant on anything other than itself to work (and the websites Amazon and eBay not changing).
Project:
Each step will be discussed more in depth before starting, to make sure you fully understand what is required.
1. Amazon Product Research Tool
This is the easiest part of the project. This project will require to scrape details of the product page. User input data for calculations. And also scrape Amazon Fee Calculator fees after putting in the ASIN. I have a draft example spreadsheet I have made which the program columns should look like. It is missing a few small scraping things I want, but this is generally the idea of how it should be. I've added it to this.
Also stock levels of competitors. This can be done by putting a request for 999 of their item, and getting the number Amazon returns.
2. Amazon And Ebay Comparison
I should be able to search a keyword or seller ID on Amazon. And it will get the matching results on eBay. It does this by getting using exact title match on eBay from Amazon, and then scraping various details, and doing calculations.
It will also do part of an exact description match, and give a Yes or No in a column.
You should also be able to do this backwards. If I type in a keyword or seller ID, I should be able to see the same eBay products on Amazon.
3. Saved Results, Automatic Price Checking/Rescraping, Exporting, and Autolister, Graphs, Product History/Data Analyse
a. Once I have found the results I want in either of the two research tools. I will then be able to save these results in the program. The results will always be there when the program opens and closes. These are products I want to keep my eye on.
b. On this page of the program, I should be able to, by clicking a button, or by setting a timer, automatically update the scraping data and calculations for that product. Basically the same thing as the first tools did, but a refresh/update for saved results.
c. We will also implement an exporting to CSV file option here.
d. We will also implement an upload to eBay option here. (Auto lister)
e. Graphs will track changes in scrapped data. For example prices, stock levels of competitors, just plotting scraped data that the program already gets.
4. Support for the program for 3 months.
This is also an easy part of the project. You do not have to add any new features. You just have to fix any problems or bugs with the program that may crop up within 3 months after you finish it. For example if the program works perfectly for 3 months after you finish it, then you will need to do nothing.
Greetings,
We have read your Project Description & understand the overall requirements of your project, as you have already explained all the features very well. However, our major concern is that your budget of US $750 is low as compare to the working Man-Hours involved to deliver it, as you know that we have to estimate the project based on the overall features. So, do you think that you can be flexible in it? If not, then no problem and we totally understand.
Our current bid is just a placeholder since Freelancer requires it but once you respond us, we can then provide you our estimate.
Look forward to hearing from you and talking to you further thru' Freelancer private message board.
Regards,
YK

Dear Client,
My name is Alexander.
I have 12+ years experience in programming.
I can start this project immediately, I am free now.
We can discuss project in details, please write me a letter
Dear Sir/ Madam,
My name is Henry from PHAMTECH Co.
My team is really interested in this project as it is exactly within our scope of expertise: We are web/ app design & development experts. Please kindly visit PHAMTECH to learn more about us and our works similar to this type of projects.
Working with a team who has both in-house DESIGNERS and PROGRAMMERS means that you can take advantage of both: Our designers could help revise the design even in coding process, which is a GREAT benefit for any ongoing project.
+ We plan and build. We don't use prebuilt templates which produce conflicting codes and bugs and hurt the system in the long term.
+ Our team is 100% in-house. We don't outsource projects elsewhere. So you pay for the real service - not marketing fee.
In short, if you need an experienced team who offers *real English* communication, beautiful design & optimized code, premium after-service, in time and to budget, then we are the choice. If you need something based on solely ONE of the above criteria, then we're still happy if you decide to give another freelancer a chance. Just bookmark our website and come back in case the selected freelancer can't meet your demands.
* Even if you don't go with us, avoid fast food services. Chances are they omit the software planning & testing phases for the sake of reducing time & cost, which produces unsustainable codes behind and creates more distrust in this market!
Best wishes,
Henry.G
The Scrape approach as follows:
Technology:
* nodejs (using cheerio plugin)
* datastore mysql
* scrape manager: Django (python)
Approach:
Initially when scraping the Data Table with pagination, the script would get data details url. While visiting data details url we can get various info about the song. Next steps would be visiting details for those entities to get the details info to be scrapped.
It would be great if we get the name of the website to create a more detailed and specific approach, as the above one is very general. Waiting for your response.
We have done similar jobs as well on products & image domains. If you permit we can show you as well.
Thanks & Regards.
